A couple days ago a friend of mine commented to me, "You know those Snapple caps with all the weird information on them? Those are really cool. . ." I thought about that and realized -- they actually are! So I did some research and I came up with a few, somewhat useless facts. . .but I hope you will enjoy, and perhaps learn a something from them.

- Ostriches can run faster than horses can, and the males roar like lions.

- More people use blue toothbrushes than red ones.

- It's physically impossible for pigs to look up at the sky.

- "Sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is thought to be the hardest tounge twister ever known (In the English Language, that is).

- The silhouette on the Major League Baseball logo is Harmon Killebrew.

- In 1977: a thirteen year old boy found a TOOTH growing out of his left foot!

- Bamboo can grow up to three feet in a 24 hour period.

- Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.

- Most toilets flush in an E flat.

Well - Thats enough for now. Look up some fun facts of your own, or tell me some more in the BBS postings!

Going to brush my teeth with my red toothbrush.

Editor's Note: When I was younger my father and I made up a tongue twister one day. It is very simple -- "Bug Blood." We came up with it when we were redoing our roof and smashed a bug on a shingle! Try saying it 5 times fast, it's hard!
