I totally knew the answer to the cheese question! (I'm bragging about that to hide the fact that I was clueless about the rest)
Oh, when did you take this ex-ray of my mind?
Leonardo da Vinci Could draw AND write at the same time? Being an artist myself, it's still hard to wrap my head around that one! And thanks for giving us the answers! LOL! They were gonna bug me all day! hahahah!
Lawd... I am asham-er-ed - I didn't know any of the riddles, and in fact, when I tried to think about them, my head hurt *laugh* - not headache hurt, but straining too much hurt or whoogly pow hurt or something.
Mornin' Angie!
LOL, expat.
Jinksy, I had it beamed over from the UK with the use of some high tech gov. methods. :)
You're welcome, giddy. Wouldn't ever intentionally leave ya hanging like the last Ledbetter Lunacy. LOL
Morning, Kathryn. I get that squeezed head feeling a lot too.
Groan....I didn't know ANY of the riddles! All I can say about the spit trivia is....EWWWWW! Happy morning, Angie! P.S. I got your comment re: my blog.....seems to look okay to me....
Good Monday Morning, Angie!!! I too didn't know the answers!
Hope the writing is going well, my friend!
hugs
I think the human male must produce more spit than that. After all, they're always getting rid of it on the sidewalk. ;-)
Linda, I wouldn't know any of the answers either if I hadn't been the one digging around for 'em. :) (I tried again at your blog, but it keeps bringing me to a post 2 days ago. Argh!)
Same to you, kimmi girl.
LOL, Melissa, I think you're right. I've been at son's baseball games too often not to think so. :)
That much spit? EWWWW!
Riddles on a Monday morning? You are ruthless. You know I can't be up thinking this early in the week.
didn't get even one right. Not even close. I love trivia though. Seriously, I love learning. At least now when I touch that part of my ear, I'll know it's name. Maybe I can rename it, you know, make it more "mine".
Thats a lot of spit....
And thank you for the image of a spit pool. Nice.
I know, Carrie, but it begged to be included. :)
Debbie, that's why I included the answers. LOL
I already forgot the name of the ear part, bernthis. Sad thing about old age.
Yeah, Marilyn, sho nuff.
Wendy, you're ever so welcome. Maybe you can post it to your facebook page. :)
Call me "totally clueless" ... I couldn't come close to even one answer.
25,000 quarts of spit?? Oh my goodness ... I'll never look at a pool again without thinking of this.
Fun post! Thanks ... and have a wonderful day!

Is that a new pic? Cute. :-)
The spit thing is disgusting.
Riddles make my head hurt. I'm glad you posted the answers!
Small, sorry to ruin your pool experience. :) You have a great day yourself.
Thanks, Jessica. Just put it up this morning.
Colby, I'll send ya some aspirin!
Heeehee what fun. Yeah, I'm so not a riddle person so I pretty much just stared and blinked before giving a sigh of relief after scrolling down and seeing the answers. Interesting stuff! Hope you have a great week hun!
Enough spit to fill two swimming pools!!!
Would that be Olympic size... or the more common back yard variety?
Either way, I don't really want to think about it.
I love knowing that the Guiness book is the most stolen. Most likely by third grade boys who love it more than almost anything - except maybe for spit.
Angie - wow... very useless but interesting rrivia! I think you've disturbed everyone's plans for spring vacation! LOL :)
ChristaCarol, spectacular week to you also!
LOL, Shammickite.
Made me laugh, Deb S. :)
Jenn, I bet we'll all forget about the spit pools by summer at least. hehe
Agree with the baseball player spit overdrive. Used to be one in the younger days. See ya.
