Unknown Tid-Bits: 3/4-3/10

So earlier today we piled the whole family into the mini van to go town to get bags for the vacuum cleaner. We ended up driving an extra hour and a half to Two Harbors. Why? I'm not really sure. We went grocery shopping but it wasn't a very well thought out action. We ended up not getting home until about 3:45 all of us a little crabby because we sat in the car for that long for no real good reason.
Luckily it was a beautiful day so it was a very nice drive.

Unknown Tid-Bits:
-My favorite author is James Patterson. Now if only I had time to read:(
-My sophomore year I played Patty Simcox in our high school production of "Grease" I also was ;Moth' in "Midsummer Nights Dream"
-I know how to drive a stick shift!
-Both my grandmother and my dad don't have middle names. (at least not that I know of)
-I love broccoli
-My husband is my bestest best friend:)

Useless Knowledge:
-A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off.          I don't know if I've posted this bit of knowledge before but I still can't really believe it. It just doesn't seem possible that a living thing could live for that long with such a major part of its existence cut off. Amazing!
-A hippo can open its mouth wide enough to fit a 4 foot tall child inside.          This is a disturbing image to me...am I alone in that?
-A male emperor moth can smell a female emperor moth up  to 7 miles away.          Sometimes I think men are like this.
-A whale's penis is called a dork.          I don't know which is more strange the fact that a whales penis has a name or the fact that I already knew this bit. LOL Gotta love juvenile humor :)
-Camel's milk does not curdle.          Why? This is really interesting to me. Every other kind of milk curdles doesn't it? Why not camel's? That's cool!

Unknown Tid-Bits: 2/26-3/3

One of my brides is on Pinterest and I have to admit I was so excited to hear it. It's a great way for me to get to know her style and for her to get to know mine. I highly recommend Pinterest for so many reasons! I've gotten 2 awesome recipes off there and plan on trying out some more. I have a board for that :)
This is where you can find me   http://www.pinterest.com/falonphoto/   Come pin with me!!!

Unknown Tid-Bits:
-If I had the money I would totally get a 'Mommy Job'
-I would absolutely love to adopt a child from here in the States!
-I don't wear make-up because I don't know how to put it on.
-I hate Dora the Explorer. I love the idea behind the show but I absolutely can't stand the fact that they are yelling thru the hole thing! Unfortunately for me all three of my kids love it.
-Whenever I eat any sort of Asian food I use chopsticks. Is that strange?
-At one point in my life I really wanted to study to be a Wiccan. It's fascinating to me but I don't have nearly enough time to dedicate.
-I played the flute in band from 5th-12th grade. Have to admit that I miss it.

Useless Knowledge
-Honeybees have hair on their eyes.          This is something that for the life of me I can't figure out why in the world would they need to have hair on their eyes?
-The average bank teller loses about $250 every year.          Now you can't tell me that someone that works at a bank doesn't use this piece of information to their advantage.
-Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.          This explains a lot about why old men look the way they do.
-America's first nudist organization was founded in 1929, by 3 men.          LOL Why does this not really surprise me :)
-Almost a quarter of the land area of Los Angeles is taken up by automobiles.          I honestly thought that it would be more.

Unknown Tid-Bits: 2/19-2/25

My husband dripped the insides of the chicken pot pie he made last night on the inside of the oven. I turned it on to make dinner tonight and now not only does my kitchen smell like nasty burning nastiness there is this ominous gray haze in the air. I don't think that smell ever really leaves a room once it's there. Bummer!

Unknown Tid-Bits:
-I am extremely scared of spiders. ISH!!! Just the thought of them makes my skin crawl *shiver*
-I have a shoe obsession. Boots and heals are my favorite. Unfortunately I don't really know how to walk in heals, so I keep buying them because I love them and don't wear them :(
-I am the worst speller on the planet! So I'm apologizing right now for my future (and past) spelling mistakes :)
-I'm very mean spirited...LOL yeah right. Not at all actually. I have a tendency to let people push me around.
-Tonight I straightened my hair for the first time in over 3 years!!! Long doesn't even begin to describe it!
-I have never filed my own taxes, it was always my mom and now my husband. Am I ashamed to say that? Absolutely not! I wouldn't know the first thing to do so I consider myself lucky that my husband does.
-We consider pizza a food group in our house :)

Useless Knowledge
-A 10-gallon hat barely holds 6 pints          Why would someone know this? And what do you think they measured it with; water? milk? My guess is beer :)
-Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.          I bet it won't take long for someone to pick up on this and come up with a calorie free stamp...wait they already did. Aren't all stamps stickers now?
-Spotted skunks do handstands before they spray.          lol I'm going to keep my comment about this to myself on this one lol
-Some ribbon worms will eat themselves if they can't find any food.          "Gee I can't find any food I guess I'll just have to eat myself." I don't know what would be worse starvation or bleeding to death.
-Some toothpaste's contain antifreeze.          I should use that excuse at the dentist the next time I go.

Every week as I'm doing the Useless Knowledge there are things that I can't help that go through my mind. Now I don't know why you would care what I think about all this stuff but I figure if you're reading this in the first place you must kind of care so I'm going to add my random thoughts to each useless piece of knowledge.




Unknown Tid-Bits:
-I was a cutter for many years.
-I am currently cross-stitching Alivia's (one of my twins) Christmas stocking. I love love love to cross-stitch!!!

Useless Knowledge:
-A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
          So the next time someone tells you that they will be there in a 'jiffy' you can say "No you won't" :)
-All porcupines float in water.
           I can't even float in water so this is pretty impressive to me
-The international telephone dialing code for Antarctica is 672.
           This would be handy to know if you knew anyone in Antarctica or if there were phone in Antarctica
-The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
           This doesn't make me feel any better about going to the dentist.
-The glue on Israeli postage stamps is certified kosher.
            LOL I just find this really funny. It makes sense that it would be, but that doesn't beg the question WHY?
