insignificant post

I'm feeling a little uninspired for posting today, and low on creativity for off the wall stuff. . . So here are some bits of useless information form a book I bought the other day "Useless Knowledge" :

"The orginal name of Pepsi-Cola was Brad's Drink"

"PEZ Cnady was first marketed as a compressed peppermint candy over 70 years ago in Vienna, Austria. The name PEZ was derived from the German word for "peppermint"...PfeffErminZ. Today more thatn 3 billion PEZ candies are consumed annually in the United States alone."

"If one were todrive from Los Angeles, California , to Reno, Nevada, the direction in whinch he or she would be going is northwest."

"A ball of glass will bounce higher than a ball of rubber. A ball of solid steel will bounce higher than on e made entirely out of galss."

"A buccula is a little-used term for a person's double chin."

"Babies are born without kneecaps; they don't appear until the ages of 1-6 months old."

"Cold showers actually increase sexual arousal."

Alright...I mist be getting back to my english paper again. Enjoy these little useless bits of trivia. Impress your friends ! Until next time, take care and take it easy.
