• Did you know...

  ... the world, if shrunken down to marble size would be smoother than a marble?
  ... even though we bitch about fuel prices, we still have the cheapest petrol prices in the world?
  ... we also have the cheapest food prices in the world
                      -we spend on average 11% of our income whereas the next cheapest spends 17%
                      -and most spend closer to 50%
  ... potato chips cost 200% more per pound than potatoes
  ... the average person falls asleep in seven minutes
  ... 12 oz of a typical American pale lager actually has fewer calories than 2% milk or apple juice
  ... in New York City, approx. 1,600 people are bitten by other humans (I assume that's annually)
  ... an ear of corn averages 800 kernels in 16 rows
  
  
  All of this, while perfectly true, I have not verified; but you believe everything you read, don't you?!
