Strange But True

[ILUVDXL]

Good Morning, everyone. Here is Friday's edition. I hope you enjoy them.

A man named Charles Osborne had the hiccups for 69 years. (Wow)

Th average person speakes about 31,500 words per day. (I wonder how many we type)

I takes more than 500 peanuts to make a 12 oz jar of peanut butter. (Did you know George Washington Carver invented peanut butter?)

Bernard Clemmens of London managed to sustain a fart for an officially recorded time of 2 minutes and 42 seconds. (holding my nose here)

It is estimated that any any one time, 0.7% of the world's population is drunk. (hic)

The largest taxi fleet in the world is found in Mexico City with over 60,000 cabs.

The last time American green cards were actually green was 1964. (today thay are blue and white, but still referred to as green cards)

The world's largest K-Mart is on the island of Guam.

Have a great day and and even better weekend.

Living in the peanut state (yes, we're the peanut state, too-ask Jimmy Carter), I've heard about GWC inventing peanut butter. I didn't know it took 500 nuts to make a jar though. That's a whole lotta nut cracking going on. I wonder who invented the peanut cracking machine?

Thanks for the info.
