Here are some things I learned today.  I don’t know why I learn these things… but it happens to me frequently.

Gerbils can “sniff out” levels of adrenaline in humans.  However, when taken to an airport environment, the gerbils cannot tell the difference between a potential terrorist, and someone who is nervous due to travel circumstances.

I truly do not know who figures these things out.

People in Victorian Britain had to do the unthinkable when they couldn’t afford a chimney sweep. They would drop live geese down their chimneys instead. Seriously. Tell that bird to flap like crazy on the way down.

Speaking of falling down places. If you were to drill a big tunnel hole straight down through the earth… with your REALLY BIG trusty drill….. and then you jumped in….. it would take exactly 42 minutes and 14 seconds to get to the other side.

But time is relevant… isn’t it? The Inca measurement of time was based on how long it took to boil a potato.

And finally…. the word “time” is the most commonly used noun in the English language.

So… before I take up any more of your time… I am going to go boil some potatoes… to go with my goose. It is just a drill I do every Friday night.   Sooo…. I better jump right in.

(Creative Side Note:  We attempted to make a salt dough rendering of a goose.  However, it was thwarted by a dinosaur, poinsettia, two cats, and a Santa head.  Oh… and don’t forget the pig-like hamster.  JJ… you are a trooper!)
