This third ball in the solar system is filled from rim to brim….I am telling you… FILLED….. with interesting little snidbits. I am constantly delighted by the little interesting facts that float around.

I just read today that it is illegal to sell or own chewing gum in Singapore. As I looked into this… I found out it WAS true. The country banned it because Singaporians were sticking those chewed up gum fragments under tables and chairs. Lobbyists, U.S. Government officials, and Wrigley got into the “stew pot” around this “controversial” law. It was revised  in 2004 to allow chewing.  How WE got involved with that sticky situation…. I do not know.

I think this is almost as dumb as Kim Kardashian. I am not even sure who Kardashian is or why she is famous… or what she has accomplished or contributed to this planet…

But I sure am tired of hearing about her 9 hour marriage.  I think she should be banned in Singapore and the U.S.

Yet for all the dumb stuff… there are some really great crumbs in the cookie bag.

Like.. Mel Blanc… the voice of Bugs Bunny… it turns out he was allergic to carrots.

Now that is pretty funny. Doc.

Here is another thing for all you red-lipped ladies and drag queens. The average woman consumes 6 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime. Maybe….. But you look marvelous.

At this point, I can be very sure of one thing. I have not consumed even 1/1000 of an ounce of lipstick in my life. I bend the average way toward the null and void.  Kiss me….. and I won’t leave a trace.

However, when I was a kid… I used to sneak out to the garage and eat the rock salt which would be used on the driveway when there was ice and snow. I would mostly do this after I’d eaten a good helping of paste. For some reason, I liked the combo. I think this explains a lot about my current mental state…. Heaven only knows how we survived as kids.

Did you know 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321?

This planet is round… yet there are “four corners of the earth.” Go figure.

The name aardvark translates literally into earth pig. I could name a whole bunch of other earth pigs. But I won’t.

As it gets close to bedtime… I will close with a couple of other items I just learned. The bullfrog is the only animal that does not sleep. Ever. On the other hand, the hairy armadillo snoozes for 20.4 hours a day.

I am feeling like a VERY hairy armadillo. Could be too much paste and rock salt…..  or not enough lipstick.
