The ability to learn. I truly think life and learning go hand in hand. Like peanut butter and jelly. Eggs and bacon. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.

Essentially, we as humans, GROW when we LEARN. Hopefully to become better people.
With all of that in mind, tonight’s entry is a Public Service Announcement… I guess…. sorta’.

CAT Facts. C=Covering A=All T=Topics CAT Facts.

Get out your Sneakers. “The average person walks the equivalent of three times around the world in a lifetime.”I am not sure how far I have gone… but I am feeling pretty worn out from it.

Just when you thought the world was in the 21st Century…..“One-third of Russians believe that the Sun revolves around the Earth.”(Ever seen the movie “Fiddler On The Roof”? ‘Sunrise…. Sunset….’)

“46% of American adults believe that the world is less than 10,000 years old”Again… welcome to the 21st Century.

Lighter subject.
“A burning candle creates 1.5 million tiny diamonds per second.”We are talking teensy weensy itty bitty diamonds. It is just a bunch of carbon, after all.

Now… to the REAL ice. “Most diamonds are at least 3 billion years old.”(See the above notation about 46% of Americans. I hope none of them are wearing diamonds.)

“Shakespeare, Sir Walter Raleigh, and King Charles I all had pierced ears.”(I am guessing they wore diamonds.)

Finally….. THOSE were the days.
“Until 1913, children in America could legally be sent by parcel post.”
Depending on the kid…. that could be a LOT of stamps.

Oh… just one more… since most of you may think this is all rubbish.
“On average, every square mile of sea on the planet contains 46,000 pieces of rubbish.” Now THAT IS rubbish.
