Aside from the damp dog and weather, all is copacetic. {*grin*}
Fitting with the mood of the evening, I present five odd facts for your edification:
- The symbol above the 3 key (#) is an octothrope. Contrary to all the masses who incorrectly call it the pound sign or number sign.
- The eye of an ostrich is bigger than its brain.
- A pregnant goldfish is called a twit. Thus all of you who post on a certain service featuring a blue bird logo and 140 character limits are abusing pregnant goldfish.
- Dueling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.
- A quarter has 119 groves around its edge.
So what strikes you as odd today?
I knew the ostrich thing! I feel smart.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for somewhere to duel, too.
:)
I'd kinda like to see dueling make a comeback here in the states. Throw a couple of socialites into the dueling ring and let them have at it!
ReplyDeleteOMG, "copacetic" - haven't heard that word in years. Wonderful oddities; if there isn't a 2nd defn. of a pregnant goldfish there should be. The actions of about 95% of the population are those of Pg. fish.
ReplyDeleteLove the Paraguay one. Dueling with a social conscience.
ReplyDeleteHmm, interesting oddities. I feel like I just got a little smarter :)
ReplyDelete'Twit', isn't that also used as a way of calling someone an idiot? So which use came first, the pregnant goldfish or the idiot?
