Here are some of the good ones from our calendar as of late:
1. Pepsi is commonly used by wooden boat owners to clean mold from decksw. They leave it on for about thirty seconds, then it must be rinsed off so as to not cause erosion.
2. The ball on top of the flagpole is called the truck. (who knew that had a name?)
3. Peanuts are cholesterol-free. They are also one of the ingredients of dynamite.
4. All of Queen Anne’s seventeen children died before she did.
5. The oldest word in the English language is town.
6. One of the reasons marijuana is illegal today is because cotton growers in the 1930’s lobbied against hemp farmers-they say hemp as competition. Hemp is not chemically addictive, as are nicotine, alcohol and caffeine.
7. Leonardo da Vinci spent twelve years painting the Mona Lisa’s lips. He could also write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.
8. A wind with a speed of seventy-four miles per hour or more is designated a hurricane.
