Some more Facts

1. A car traveling 100 mph would take more than 29 million years to reach the nearest star.
Thats why I love the lakes, I cant afford the time or diesel for space travel.

2. The average bed is home to over 6 billion dust mites.
No wonder a lot of people have insomnia.

Most lipstick is partailly made of fish scales.
So that is why some kisses taste funny

3. Tourists visiting Iceland should know that tipping at a restaurant is considered an insult.
I thought that tipping (rubish) anywhere was an insult.

4. During your lifetime, you'll eat about 60,000 pounds of food, that's the weight of about 6 elephants.
Now you know why people are always on a diet and Elephants are hunted

5. A new baby usually deprives it's parents of 400-750 hours of sleep in the first year.
No wonder older people fall asleep in the chair in the afternoon

6. In York, excluding Sundays, it is legal to shoot a Scotsman with a bow and arrow.
So that is why Scots only visit York on a Sunday

7. American's eat about 18 billion hot dogs a year.
Come on Dogs, get your ticket to Alaska here.

Love those quotes, especially number 6!! Must remember never to go to York on a Sunday! Mind you, I was OK when I was there and it was over a weekend!! Lovely place it is!

Many thanks, AB, keep 'em coming!!
