Did you know:

Caesar salad has nothing to do with any of the Caesars. It was first concocted in a bar in Tiajuana, Mexico, in the 1920's.

Did you know.

There are so many spiders in the world that are so tiny, that you're never any more than 2 feet away from a spider.

Did you know that creeps me out.

A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if a strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods. Try it!

Hm.. a show on discovery chanel was talking about a chef at Caesars' palace inventing it. Along with a customer in NYC compaining that the french fries were too thick so the chef fried thin slices just to spite him and invented potato chips.
-76.3% of Mick Jaggars offspring say he is too permiscuous.
-82% of the statistics I believe are made up.(so I am told.)
*edit*
well, 1924 predates that Caesars palace story. Good thing patent rights arn't an issue.
Also there is a type of spider whos babies have been dicovered as microscopic dust at very high altitude. One scientist said it is possible for one of these to catch a solar wind to mars and beyond they are so tiny. THAT, I'll beleive when I see it.

I doubt it. Here's what I found:

"This recipe is very close to the original version created in 1924 by Caesar Cardini, an Italian restaurateur in Tijuana, Mexico. That's right, the salad is named after it's creator, a Chef, not Julius Caesar of the famed Roman empire."

Did you ever notice when you blow in a dog's face he gets mad at you? But when you take him in a car he sticks his head out the window.

I was going to start a new subject for this, but it is an odd fact, I even asked my dog about it; he just yawned and went back to sleep.

eddie izzard is a stand-up comedian that's definitely the definition of odd. he's the most hilarious person i know of, and the fact that he's a transvestite submits to that
