Good Morning, everyone. Here is Tuesday's edition

Miss Piggy's mesurements are 27-20 36.

Three Mile Island is only 2.5 miles long.

The Statue of Liberty's mouth is 3 feet wide.

The University of Alaska streches over 4 time zones.

Maine is the toothpick capital of the world. ( All those trees I guess)

Babies are born without kneecaps. They do not appear untill the child reaches 2-6 years of age. (What's up with that, Deb?)

The average person will spend 2 weeks over their lifetime waiting for a traffic light to change. (I'd rather be kissing)

(This one's really bad) About 1 out of every 70 people who pick thier nose actually eat their boogers . (Ewwww)

Doughnuts originated in Holland.

Kermit the Frog has 11 pionts on the collar around his neck.

Have a great day:bounce: :bounce: :Pinkbounc

Well, I tried to look this one up, with not much luck. However, if I reach waaaaay back into the recesses of my brain, I vaguely seem to recall that the patella (kneecap), being a sesamoid bone (a relatively small, roundish bone not part of the axial skeleton) is not ossified until later childhood. Maybe that's what they mean. Anyway, it sounds good, doesn't it?;)

Unfortunately, our DS is one of those folks:rolleyes: .

Thanks, Deb.:Pinkbounc

You may find this interesting. My Mother had a theory that children who picked their nose and ate it had pin worms. I have no idea where she got that from. Is there a technical torm for it?:confused:
