Well my mini camping trip was a blast. It was basically one night in the desert with a group of 15 friends. Anyways, i'm back in Redondo Beach now trying to find more fun media on the web. I don't have much yet for today, but I wanted to make this post so that you know I wasn't eaten by vulchers. Stay posted... |

Well here's a list of fun facts I found and commented on:
- The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper. (Well i guess we know what they were doing when they wrote it.)
- The dot over the letter i is called a "tittle". (ha, sounds funny)
- A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top. (something fun to watch after you're drunk)
- 315 entries in Webster's 1996 Dictionary were misspelled. (Silly Webster, looks like you need a dictionary)
- Chocolate affects a dog's heart and nervous system; a few ounces will kill a small sized dog. (Maybe, you should stop eating chocolate)
- Most lipstick contains fish scales. (think about that next time your kissing someone)
- Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants. (Cover your eyes kids)
- Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine. (Oh man, they had no clue)
- Upper and lower case letters are named 'upper' and 'lower' because in the time when all original print had to be set in individual letters, the 'upper case' letters were stored in the case on top of the case that stored the smaller, 'lower case' letters. (So, i'm just going to start calling them shift button letters)
- Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time ...hence, multi-tasking was invented. (Well damn, I can operate the mouse, and .... wait, i won't go there)
- There are no clocks in Las Vegas gambling casinos. (I found that out last month)
- The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan; there was never a recorded Wendy before! (Wait, i don't believe this one)
- There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with: orange, purple, and silver! (okay folks, orange = door hinge. Took me years to find that rhyme.)
- Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors. Also, it took him 10 years to paint Mona Lisa's lips. (So he says...)
- A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it instantly go mad and sting itself to death. (Haha, now that's just funny).
- The mask used by Michael Myers in the original "Halloween" was a Captain Kirk mask painted white. (I know what i'll be for halloween next year)
- If you have three quarters, four dimes, and four pennies, you have $1.19.
You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar. (omg, who has the time for that.)
- The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player for automobiles. At that time, the most known player on the market was the Victrola, so they called themselves Motorola. (Made sense right? Kinda like geosphere giosphere...)
- Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. (I'm getting some celery tomorrow)
- Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Public Libraries. (I think they just made that one up because they felt left out)
Well, that ends the useless fact list. Enjoy your rest of thursday, and the weekend. I'll be spending saturday night in the woods, so hopefully i'll have some good stories to tell monday morning. |

Don't you just love these four day weeks! Like it feels like monday, but it's already going to be wednesday tomorrow. Anyways, I was wondering how this professor tells people her name. I need to go to more garage sales. So, my friend was searching for an image of Disney's "Simba" character, omg, wtf is that second image doing there. Any little kid out there looking for Simba will see that! If you can't see it anymore, google has come to their senses and removed the image. I just found sweet instructions on how to make a head mouse. That's right, you can now control your computer mouse cursor with your head movements. You can make tons of other really crazy stuff at Sci Spot, but I must say most of this stuff is extremly dangerous, and not worth the risk of making. Finally, check out the Funny Pics Section because i just added 4 new pics. |
