Good Morning all. Here is Thursday's edition. Enjoy!

1 out of 4 American do not know their astrological sign. (I'm a Taurus)

400 quarter pounders can be made out of one cow. (Remember that the next time you're at McDonalds)

A bowl of Wheaties contains twice as much sodium as a bowl of potato chips. (Chips for breakfast, yum.)

It is a misconception to believe that watching television in a dark room is bad for your eyes. This myth was created to help sell lamps in the early 1950's. (We go to the movies in the dark)

160 cars can dive side by side on the Monumental Axis in Brazil, the world's widest road.

A-1 Steak Sauce contains both orange peels and raisins. (No wonder I don't like the stuff)

In the summer, walnuts get a tan. (Huh?)

In cooking, six drops make a dash.

And finally............
Less than 7% of the population donates blood. (I think this is good reminder to visit your local Red Cross)

Have a great day!

How true, Michelle. I was amazed to discover that so few people give blood.

My office just had one on Monday. We do them at least twice a year now. I always feel bad because I can't give. My doctor has told me that I am not to even try it. I start shaking real bad when they take just a vial or two in her office and they have to have someone on each side of me - just in case!
