Alarm Clock….a device for waking up people who don’t have small children.

Once a task has begun, Never leave it until it’s done. Though the task be great or small, Do it well or not at all.

Fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing.

A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

The amount of sleep required by the average person is about five more minutes.

There is not a right way to do a wrong thing.

 

 

Fun Facts: Food & Drinks Part 6

Coca-Cola has made over 3,500 different kinds of beverages. If you drank one per day it would take you over nine years to try them all.

The term “sandwich” was named after  John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich, a town in England. He would ask his servants to bring him slices of meat between two slices of bread while he was gambling at a table so he wouldn’t have to leave the game.

In the Philippines, there’s a banana ketchup. During World War II there was actually a shortage of tomatoes, so they used bananas as a replacement in ketchup.

There are red bananas that taste sweet, creamy, and a little bit like raspberries.

Green bell peppers are just less mature, less ripe versions of red, orange, and yellow peppers.

The  Assistant Editor:   Who fell at your place today, LL ?   

The Worried Cat:    It’s personal, but  two strong men were nearby and rescued the fallen person. He was a fool for wearing flip-flops at 78 years old.  Fortunately, only his pride was hurt.

This video shows one way to help a fallen person up, if the person is uninjured.

Wear sensible shoes, keep your phone on your person, and know who to call.   There are many videos, but the most important thing is to have a plan, and keep some friends on speed-dial. 

Get your drama from the media.

Socialism works as well as flip-flops.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

The Eclipse and the Stork
Image Credit & Copyright: Włodzimierz Bubak
Text: Cecilia Chirenti (NASA GSFC, UMCP, CRESST II)

Explanation: How do animals react to a total solar eclipse? The featured image shows a stork roosting on her nest in Poland at a partial phase of the recent total solar eclipse. If you are lucky enough to experience a total eclipse somewhere quiet and close to nature, you may be able to notice unusual daytime animal behaviors. During totality, you may hear nighttime sounds like crickets and frogs and see fireflies. In the dark, most birds are quiet. Thinking that it is time to go to bed, ducks and other waterfowl prepare to sleep on one leg, with their heads turned around and their beaks tucked into their back feathers (they don’t really sleep with their heads tucked under one wing). When sunlight returns at the end of totality, songbirds greet the new “morning” with their dawn songs. The crickets and frogs go quiet again. Animals and people resume their lifes, only briefly disturbed by the chance alignment of our Sun and Moon.

KFC in Hong Kong offers lickable, edible fingernail polish in two different flavors, original and Hot & Spicy.

The restaurant Chomp Eatery in Los Angeles offers a rainbow grilled cheese sandwich. In fact, the blue tastes like lavender, the green like basil, the red like tomatoes, and the yellow tastes like plain cheese.

Adding cold cream to your coffee actually keeps it warmer longer when compared to just black coffee.

Sushi is meant to be eaten with your hands and sashimi with chopsticks.

In January of 2016, McDonald’s Japan introduced, for a limited time, French fries drizzled with two kinds of chocolate sauce.
