What shocking things did you learn today?

[tronikay2k]

You learn something new every day.

I learned:

There are 31 billion searches on Google every month, in 2006 there were 2.7 billion.

Over the last 20 years, sugar consumption in the U.S. has increased from 26 pounds to 135 lbs. of sugar per person per year.

"Mark Twain" was just one of Samuel Clemens pseudonyms. He also wrote as Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass, Rambler, Sergeant Fathom, Sieur Louis de Conte and W. Epaminondas Adrastus Blab.
^That's quite a mouthful.

Maybe not today but fairly recently, I learned that, apparently, history can actually be re-written

Love Mark Twain, ever read the "Diaries of Adam & Eve"? ... very amusing No-one should be allowed to alter an artists work and present it as intact.

I'm kinda shocked to learn that there is an 11 year old in 4th grade.

My 4th grader has like 3 more months of 9.

Yes, she's already missed over 25 days of school this year so she may actually have to repeat 4th grade again! She is very mature looking, evenfor a 4th grader, she'll probably be removed from the home soon though.

Thats nothing.. I have 16 year old 8th graders.. or 15 year olds who can't wait until they turn 16 so they can quit school with an 8th grade education.

Bullets are a non-returnable item in New York State.

A friend bought the wrong size as a gift and tried to take them back to get the correct size. Now he has 3 boxes of these HUGE bullets for a gun he will never own (nor desire to own) and wondering what he is supposed to do with them.
