Friday Fun Facts

Hey -

I think I am going to start posting some fun facts on Fridays, 5-4-3-2-1 style.

5 Random Facts:
1 About 98% of Egypt's population lives along the Nile River, which is barely 1/3 of its land area.
2 A kangaroo can't jump unless its tail is touching the ground.
3 A person at rest generates as much heat as a 100 watt light bulb.
4 A Saudi Arabian woman can get a divorce if her husband doesn't give her coffee.
5 In the 40's, the Bich pen was changed to Bic for fear that Americans would pronounce it 'Bitch.'

4 Things I love this week:
1 Tony (with some of my help) accomplished a huge life goal.
2 I got $50 from selling a book on Amazon - and now I can get my hair cut.
3 Tony's mom gave me 2 boxes of Rice Krispies so that I can make a bunch of Rice Krispie Treats for EVERYONE!
4 The new recipe I created (Balsamic Bruschetta Chicken) almost entirely ON MY OWN. One of the few recipes I've invented that I am very proud of.

3 Things I hate this week:
1 Becoming the meat part of a car sandwich. People need to learn to drive better.
2 The hot pink car I saw driving today - I want all other hot pink car owners to know that I automatically assume you are not very smart if you have a hot pink car.
3 I still do not own the new Punchline album, Delightfully Pleased.

2 Random Facts about ME:
1 I used to be afraid of sleeping near windows, I still have trouble sleeping with the window open at night. I absolutely can not sleep if I can see out of the window.
2 I think it is extremely strange when people use the phrase "My Dogs are Barkin'!" when referring to their feet hurting. It makes absolutely no sense.

1 Question, so I can learn a fact about YOU:
1  If you could have lunch with any three people (real or fictitious, from any time period, dead or alive), which three people would you choose and why?

I would choose the Dalai Lama, Brandon Boyd (lead singer of Incubus), and Mark Twain - because I think that it would probably be the most amazing conversation I've ever had in my life.


Until next time,
