Ever watched one of those TV shows about how things are made or read an article about the history of something? Here is a place to tell about the bastion of useless information we all have and like to share.

Just saw a show about how things are made and it talked about Twinkies. Did you know that we eat 500 million Twinkies a year? That they were made originally during the depression and started as 2 for 5 cents? And they originally had banana cream filling instead of the vanilla flavored filling it is now. There was a shortage of bananas during World War II so they had to change the filling.
As Hawkeye Pierce would often say on M*A*S*H*...."just a few tidbits from Crabapple Cove"

Yepper, I actually seen that on the food network, or it was the travel channel. Interesting though. However being a fitnes nut, I don't eat them.

A friend sent me this:
1. Only in America... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.
2. Only in America... are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.
3. Only in America... do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
4. Only in America... do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke.
5. Only in America... do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters.
6. Only in America... do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
7. Only in America... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
8. Only in America... do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
9. Only in America... do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well:'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.
10. Only in America... do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille

Charlie Brown's father was a barber.
Under the law of Mississippi, there’s no such thing as a female Peeping Tom. (No wonder Avi has Mississippi on her places to live!)
Every citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath at least once a year (Good thing you got yours in yesterday Suz!)
It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma. (and I was just about to buy some ocean front property there!)
Chewing gum is outlawed in Singapore because it is a means of "tainting an environment free of dirt.
Connecticut and Rhode Island never ratified the 18th Amendment: Prohibition (I'll drink to that!)
In Saudi Arabia, a woman reportedly may divorce her husband if he does not keep her supplied with coffee. (and I complain about not having sex!)

I mean my woman would be lucky if she hit relatively close to 57 sheet. She on the other hand is more like 257 sheet! I swear when I happen to go in the bathroom while she is peeing....she makes at least five wraps around here whole hand before pat, pat, pat, and into the pisser it goes! Gee I think I might use 57 sheets in about 3 or 4 days.:D

Men fart an average of 17 times a day, and women fart an average of 9 times a day.
If you fart constantly for 6 years, 9 months and 23 days you would produce enough gas to explode an atomic bomb.

So true, MagicalMerlin, at least in my case. But I cannot stand the thought of there being a possibility of getting my hand wet. LOL Yes, I know they're washable - and I do wash --- I PROMISE!!! But still... It's not like the stuff is super expensive... As long as all of me is dry, that's all that matters. LOL

Not to change the subject or anything, but ...
Did you know that an ostrich's eye is larger than its brain.
Sex Facts:
1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth.
=======================
2. Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makes your skin glow.
=============
3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romantic dinner.
=============
4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones up just about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20 laps, and you don't need special sneakers!
=============
5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins into the bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with a feeling of well-being.
=============
6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually active body gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. These subtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy!
===========! ==
7 . Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM.
=============
8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva to wash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.
=============
9. Sex actually relieves headaches. A lovemaking session can release the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain.
=============
10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose. Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

The word "fuck" is actually an acronym. England was severely under populated due to the usual combination of fire/war/plague, and the King issued an official order to... well, fuck. Hence the phrase "Fornicate Under Command of the King" passed into everyday language.
