Good morning, everyone. Here is Thursday's edition. I hope you enjoy them.

There are 10 body parts that are only 3 letter long: eye, ear, leg, arm, jaw, gum, toe, lip, hip and rib.

There was no puncuation until the 15th century.

When your sink is full, the little hole that lets the water drain, instead of flowing over the sides is called a porcelator.

Los Angele's full name is El Pueblode Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula.

According the the Texas Department of Transportation, one person is killed annually painting stripes on the state's highways and roads.

The dome on Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's home, conceals a billards room.

The average preson presses the snooze button on their alarm clock 3 times each morning.

I takes about 142 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop.

The # sign on a telephone is called an octothorp.

There are 22 stars surrounding the mountain on the Paramount Pictures logo.

Funny....they didn't mention that on the tour.....:D
 
Interesting... I thought the # was the pound sign? OH well. :)
 
Now I know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop!

Thanks, DxL.

Thanks!
