Today, of all things…… is National “Don’t Waste Time Day.” Oh…. we need another “day” to celebrate, now don’t we?
The people who make up these days have beat me down. In light of of that … I succumb to the peer pressure. I shall observe “Don’t Waste Time Day” and offer you the following.
I often collect bits of information. This seems like the perfect time to share some of those items… since we will NOT waste time. So. Here we go.
You can circle the earth 1. 4 times … with the amount of Nutella that is produced in one year. I am not sure how thin or thick you would have to spread the Nutella for this equation. That is a mystery to me.
In 1972, a bomb exploded on a plane. A woman, named Vesna Vulovic, a flight attendant, was on board that Yugoslav Airlines plane. Yep. She dropped 33,000 feet out of the sky and survived. I am not sure how. Maybe she landed on the Nutella. (Incidentally, she was award the Guinness Record Title for the “highest fall without a parachute.”) I’m sure she was thrilled.
Here is just a funny deal. In 2005, a guy named Ronald McDonald robbed a Wendy’s. In New Hampshire. He broke into the safe at 1:30 in the morning and an alarm went off. He was apprehended. What a Bozo.
Since we are talking funny….. here is a scientific fact for you. Rats laugh when you tickle them. The guy who figured this out is named Dr. Jaak Panksepp. He reports that …. “more neuro-scientific experimental work has been done on rat-laughter than of any other species, including humans,” he said. If those rats figure out we are also poisoning them… I could see some type of lab-rat-rebellion on the horizon. I can almost hear them laughing.
Finally, continuing on with animals. Some stray Russian dogs have figured out how to use the subway system in order to travel to more populated areas in search of food. Now… if only those Russian Dogs lived closer to the equator…. they could have all the Nutella they want.
And it all comes full circle here on “Don’t Waste Time Day”…… because….. we learned, we learned, we learned.
