Interesting Facts
I always love reading these sorts of things; I thought you might like them too. Pardon my useless commentary…
Interesting Facts
Right-handed people live, on average, nine years
longer than left-handed people do.
(Not surprising, they probably just give up on life because everything in this world is made for right-handed people.)
The flea can jump 350 times its body length which would be equivalent to a human jumping the length of a football field.
A cockroach will live nine days without its head, before it starves to death.
(I think I just threw up a little. But come on people, those things can survive an atomic bomb; of course they can live without a head.)
American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating 1 olive from each salad served in first-class.
(That's fine, but don’t mess with my Sun Chips in Coach.)
Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
(Case in point: Men are from Mars Women are from Venus, women think logically.
Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.
(My iced white mocha seems to do the trick.)
Michael Jordan makes more money from Nike annually than the entire Nike factory workers in Malaysia combined.
(Perfect example of our screwed up society.)
Pearls melt in vinegar.
(Won’t be trying this one.)
Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.
(lovely...gag)
It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs.
(So, was the stranded cow really stranded?) Side note: I almost cried that it closed.
The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.
Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first US president whose name contains all the letters from the word 'criminal.' The second was William Jefferson Clinton.
(George Walker Bush insert clever word here ------.)
Turtles can breathe through their butts.
Butterflies taste with their feet.
On average, 100 people choke to death on ball-point pens every year.
(Note to self.)
On average people fear spiders more than they do death.
Ninety percent of New York City cabbies are recently arrived immigrants.
Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
(But Mary Mack paid fifty-cents to see the elephant jump the fence, fence, fence. What a rip off…)
Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older.
Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
(I noticed, have you seen me on YouTube?)
The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.
(That’s a Hoosier for you,love you Dana).
Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.
(I have read this one several times before, but I absolutely refuse to except it!)
The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
(Have you seen the tools they use on your teeth? There all torture devices!)
In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies,
including their eyebrows and eyelashes.
(OUCH, and I thought my eyebrow wax was painful)
TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard.
(I checked and this is a fact.)
If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33. She would stand seven feet, two inches tall.
(Hmm, Barbie is not so perfect after all.)

Coffee and Computers don't mix
Have you ever had those weeks or months for that matter where every thing seems to be going crazy? Picture it, I am enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee that is made up primarily of cream and sugar. I am on a call on my cell phone and my work phone starts to ring. As I hang up the work phone I go to grab the cell and my hand hits the coffee in such away that it flys into the air and comes down as a giant coffee fountain. When I contacted the computer dude about my tragedy this was his email back to me,
"Stephanie,
You need to stop using this computer immediately if you haven't already. Did you have cream or sugar in your coffee? It's worse if you did. The sugar can actually eat through circuits and components."
That sounded scary...considering I was guilty on both counts.

Life is like the Hokey Pokey.
You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out, you put your right foot in and you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey and you turn your self around, that's what it's all about. For some unknown reason I thought of this anology today. Into my twenties it seems like I have been trying to figure out my purpose. In the midst of it, Iv'e pondered the idea that maybe the search is the purpose. You put your whole self in, you put your whole self out you do this thing called life, that's what its all about.
Maybe, just maybe, if we put our whole selves into finding our purpose we will.
Yours truly,
Stephanie

May God be with them.
I know my blogs are usually light hearted but this struck a chord with me. Due to recent attacks in Kenya, the founders of a wonderful organization known as Project Aids Orphans are in Grave Danger.
I know how easy it is to shuffle these types of things aside, but we have to pop the bubble that we surround ourselves with and forget the phrase "Out of sight, out of mind."
Pray for the people of Kenya as they face these horrific events.
Click here to read more about it where my friend and fellow blogger, explains the situation. http://bizzyblogging.blogspot.com

Holiday's and Rulebreaking
January is flying by! I had a wonderful Holiday/Christmas/New year's. Every year my husband and I swear not to buy anything for one another. Of course like every year he breaks the rules and me being the stickler that I am, I don't. Then I feel like an asterisk(*side note-I put the symbol b/c that word is almost unrecognizable.
So this year, since Craig had a little time off at New Year's I thought I would surprise him with a trip to Chicago to ring in the New Year. We went a few years ago and absolutely loved it! After he gave me my presents;perfume, white stiletto's,and a hot pink adorable sock hat,(the ones with the strings and the ball on the top.) I kept telling him that I had a present for him and he kept saying, "Baby, it's really o.k. that you didn't get me anything, we weren't supposed to anyway." I, of course laughing on the inside wanted to shout, WERE GOING TO CHICAGO AND YOU ARE CLUELESS! I edited some pics/video and did a little movie of us and all the places we have been this year. Then I put it to our favorite song and at the end it says, lets spend New Year's in a place we both love and he was FLOORED! For those who have just gagged, I apologize.
I really felt lucky the last month or so...or I guess "appreciative," would be the better term.
Yours Truly,
Stephanie
