I had to laugh at you sneaking number 10 in there.

I LOVE trivia and facts... just adore it. I'm always excited to learn new things.

Oh ... and I would bet I'm going to eat FAR FEWER cookies than the average american. I average 1 or 2 cookies a month in an average year. This would mean I've ate just under 900 cookies (allowing about 45 in there, give or take) so far. Now, if we were talking about VEGETABLES I'd have to say I eat MORE than average. LOL.

I confess, I ate five cookies last night but they were the first in three weeks. Just had to try the Chinese take out with the free delivery; never buzzed someone up to an apartment before. Strange feeling. I am waiting for the daughter to get here by cab from the airport. She wanted me to meet her. I couldn't see the expense of getting there and back again. I just hope she remembers to give him the driving instructions from Yahoo. Did you know there was a website that works the same way as yahoo maps or mapquest, except for Subways? I think it is called hot stop or something like that. Amazing. I am going to use this, absolutely. Diane tried to explain it all before they left but I am slow, and confused.

35,000? I think I hit that number before I was 11...

Thank you for increasing my knowledge base.
BTW, how many of those cookies are homemade? That's the kind I like.

Did someone mention COOKIES?? ;)~

Wow...some interesting (and entertaining) stuff here! I had to slow down on the cookies so I didn't consume someone else's share! I love cookies. I bet that USA Network character, Monk, likes that corn info.

You have only to look at an old man to know that the ears never stop growing! LOL My dads ears were almost 4" long, I think (he died at 91)

Paul: Tisha isn't sure; she has had electrical or web problems and is unsure which. She said she was going to try to post tonight. I guess we will see.

Did I mention that I don't eat cookies. Someone else can have my share.

This is great! I know the fact about the moonlight, because I love walking about in it. It's soooo romantic (even if we're not talking classical romance/love). And the sunflower seeds trivia's interesting. One of my recent b-day gifts was chocolate covered sunflower seeds, candy coated. They looked like little multicolored teardrops.

This was a good read Paul. A list I shall use again and again. Thanks!

I think I have already exceeded my lifetime allotment of cookies.

Very interesting list Paul. But I have one fact for you...Jerry Springer may be a nut, but he is not native to North America - he was born in London, England! I heard him on a show once telling how he was born in a London subway. There must be a joke there somewhere, eh? :)

What do you mean my nose and ears keep growing? That sounds like something that only happens to Pinnochio.
