Full Of...

Facts

For those of you that have ever been to a WaWa convenience store: Did you know that: The word is a Lenni Lenape Indian word for the Canada Goose that was found in the Delaware Valley, that's why they use the goose on Wawa's corporate logo.

For those poker players like me: Each of the suits on a deck of cards represents the four major pillars of the economy in the middle ages: heart represented the Church, spades represented the military, clubs represented agriculture, and diamonds represented the merchant class.

Because I LOVE lobster: 1 in 5,000 north Atlantic lobsters are born bright blue.

For those of you that forget stuff: The word "lethologica" describes the state of not being able to remember the word you want.

For you musicians (such as myself): American car horns beep in the tone of F.

I found the old woman in the shoe: The largest number of children born to one woman is recorded at 69. From 1725-1765, a Russian peasant woman gave birth to 16 sets of twins, 7 sets of triplets, and 4 sets of quadruplets.

Because I am from Florida and I love to bash peoples ideas of hearing the ocean in their shells: The roar that we hear when we place a seashell next to our ear is not the ocean, but rather the sound of blood surging through the veins in the ear. Any cup-shaped object placed over the ear produces the same effect.

Just because I think this is funny: Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.

For all of you Atheists, no more Goodbye for you: "Goodbye" came from "God bye" which came from "God be with you."

This made me say "no way": Did you know that ants never sleep?

For you stamp lickers out there: You consume 1/10 of a calorie every time you lick a stamp.

Next time you yell at a fly know this: Flies are deaf.

Maybe this is why Patrick from Spongebob is so stupid: Starfish do not have brains.

Look smart the next time you are someplace with a "your are here arrow: The 'you are here arrow' on a map is called the IDEO locater.

So,they do know how to play nice...: No President of the United States was an only child.

Poor things: A dragonfly has a lifespan of 24 hours. (I think it's because they fly at high speeds): The dragonfly is the fastest flying insect at 55-60mph.

Damn chickens: There are more chickens than people in the world.

And yet there are still so many animals: More than 100 million people hold hunting licences.

YAY he has his own day: Today is designated Winnie the Pooh Day.

For all of you pot smokers and movie watchers: All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on 4:20.

A little Sesame Street knowledge: The characters "Bert" and "Ernie" on Sesame Street were named after "Bert the cop" and "Ernie the taxi driver" in Frank Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life.

Someone do this for me please: If you keep a goldfish in the dark room, it will eventually turn white.

NO WAY: More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.

WOOHOO!!!! It is estimated that at any one time, 0.7% of the world's population are drunk.

Your music lesson for the day: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and the alphabet song have the same tune. ***I know you just sang them***
