Random Trivia
One of the treasures I found last year was a book called "Imponderables: Answers to life's unaswerable questions." The particular volume I purchased included three classic books... "Why do Dogs have Wet Noses?" "Why do Clocks run Clockwise?" And "Do Fish Sleep?" As I read through the fascinating questions, I became hooked on random and unimportant trivia... For example, did you know that there are only three species of birds that can hop on the ground and sing at the same time? Isn't your life enriched right now? Do you feel yourself to be a better person? If the answer is yes, the keep reading... There's plenty more where that came from... But if you are starting to get scared, then run, and run fast...
