For those who think they know it all, more useless trivia to fill your cranium:
- The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for Blood plasma.
- No piece of paper can be folded in half More than seven (7) times.
- Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are twenty (20) years or older.
- The King of Hearts is the only king without a mustache.
- American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class.
- Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
- It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs.
- And the best for last...turtles can breathe through their butts.
{Thanks for the forward, Stumpy!}
Now you really do know it all. No need to thank me! *grin*As for the eye candy, I've been nominated for a bloggy award by friend Barbara at The Serenity Gate (a really handsome blog).

if anybody deserves the award it's you! You're always keepin it real! LOL! And wow! I wonder how many doctors actually know that about coconuts and plasma! Random!
The turtle respiration note is pretty cool. Folding the paper will keep a teenager busy for a long time.
Have a great week.
Oren
Great trivia tidbits!
And I knew you'd make the award circuit. Congrats! :)
Tee Hee...you is de best :-)
I is all a=blushin' now
Thanks Gid, and dittos to you!
Oren, I see you at work (where there's plenty of paper) folding and refolding. LOL
Janna, 'preciate it and you're perfect for that particular award. Always love your posts.
Katty Boop, you too, sha!
Angie:
I am always gratified to get another award I don't deserve in the least. Thank you!
(I'll get to following the rules, by posting the award, etc., in a couple of days.)
Jim
You DO deserve it, Sul. Your blog is as real as they come. :)
Thank you!!! :) I'm glad you can tell that I'm *real* because online, well, sometimes we're not sure!
Awwwww, THANKS!
Love,
Fully Trying to Keep it Real
What a way to start the week!!
I'll need to wipe my screen! Whooda thunk, Turtle, hahah thank you, Ang!!
My kids will LOVE the turtle butt trivia. Thanks!
Now all I'll think about today is the turtle-butt thing. It makes me wonder whether (through their mouths) turtles can... never mind. I don't want to know.
Thank you kindly for the award! You definitely deserve it. I think the jury is still out on whether I do! Yet I am grateful - nonetheless.
I love the trivia bits! My mind is trying to wrap itself around the "no paper can be folded in half more than 7 times." Boggling!
Yes, there are ways and sneaky ones too that restaurants save money - for example: taking a big plump juicy scallop and slicing it in half - so they get two for the price of one! ha!
Paying staff horridly is another way - harumph!
Thanks for the award. It will probably be a week or so before post mine.
Congrats to you!! I saw on Barb's that she nominated you and I thought you of all people deserve it cause you always keep it real!!
Amy, not even YOU are that good a fiction writer. hehe
You're doing a fine job, Carrie!
Kimmie, hope I didn't ruin your turtle collection or something. LOL
You're welcome, Wendy.
Michelle, LOL, and you're welcome.
That factoid made me want to get paper out and disprove it too, Melissa!
Ms. B, I guess that's why I don't eat out too often. :)
Any time, Travis.
'Preciate you, Terri. Congrats on same award for you!
That's a fascinating factoid about turtles. I've met some people who have the same talent. Especially after beans.
What I'd like to know is how to get an oak tree to STOP producing acorns... but that coconut milk thing could be helpful.
The king of hearts also stabs himself in the head, I believe, which is a little weird.
BTW, I have promising it a long time, but your video from winning te Pay it Forward Challenge is FINALLY ready to go up tomorrow. I planned to put it up today but I had a more pressing matter. But tomorrow...finally! I hope you like it!
Done. As usual, with vitriol. Don't let it throw you. I love it, and I thank you.
LOL, Sham. Hear ya.
Jane, that would be good to know about the acorns. :)
Sorry about your Pawpaw's passing, Colby. :( I do so love my very own video. I laughed till I hurt! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Glad you like, Sul.
