Oh, tonight I am not feeling very creative.  So how about a few fast fun facts that have to do with things I’ve thought about today?

I don’t see as well as I used to.  I am forever grateful for eye glasses…. and now bifocals.  BUT… here is a misconception about eyesight.  There are more than 1,200 species  of bat in the world and not one of them is blind.  Throw that old catchy saying out the window….  I am no longer “Blind as a Bat”

Here’s something more we don’t get right about animals.  There are 4,800 species of frogs in the world….. but only one of them goes “ribbit.”   And I am pretty sure… none of them really say… BUD…. WEIS…… ER.

And speaking of speaking…..

I am trying to learn a little bit of the Russian language.  Just in case the tanks really get rolling over there…. and we HAVE to learn it.  Now… for some strange reason, Russians have no word for “blue,”  only two different words for  “light blue” and “dark blue.”  I guess when everything is frozen…. and that dang cold…. you have to give people different distinctions of color there.  
”Yes, I would say Yuri was so cold he was dark blue.   But his brother, Androv, was much warmer.  He was light blue.”

And while we are on the subject of colors…..Andy Warhol always wore  green underpants.  I have no idea why.  I think the guy was a little quirky….. maybe.  Or… it could have had something to do with Campbell’s Split Pea Soup.

Switching gears…. and in to the kitchen.

They say too much of a good thing….. can be bad.  Or something like that.  Maybe it is…. too much of anything isn’t good.  Whichever the case…. here is proof of its validity.   In 1999, a four-year-old girl  turned yellow after drinking too much Sunny Delight.  Shine on.

Now… one thing I normally can’t get enough of is a super duper hamburger.  Boy, oh boy…. I love a good burger.  I wanted one for dinner tonight… but didn’t feel like going out.  I even love a  MickeyDee’s.   Now here’s the thing……. 4,000 McDonald’s hamburgers  (as many as you could get from one cow) are eaten every minute.  That’s a lot of beef every hour, on the hour.

But I think better it be beef than some other thing.  For instance….. every year,  4 million cats  are eaten in Asia.  Special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions…. on a sesame seed bun.  Hold the whiskers.
