Fun Facts thread or did you know...
 
Did you know that almost every one of Emily Dickinson's poems can be sung to the tune of the Yellow Rose of Texas?

People who drink coffee are less likely to commit suicide than people who don’t.

It's illegal to hunt camels in Arizona.

There are no penguins in the North Pole.

You can also sing Emily Dickinson's poems to the tune of "Gilligan's Island". :)

Also, you can sing the lyrics to Amazing Grace to the tune of Gilligan's Island, and vice versa, they fit exactly.

You can sing The Doxology to Hernando's Hideway, too!

You should not try to fax fabric.

Yeah, I thought that was obvious too, but the manual to the new fax machine spesified that, so I figured I better throw that out there.

On the random warning label note:

Do not place the plastic bag over your head and hold it in place firmly with your hands around your neck.

Fun fact: This month has a Friday the 13th. Be prepared for scary movies on TNT, USA, Spike, and any other cable station that doesn't have anything else to do.

If the first of the month is a Sunday, there will be a Friday the 13th that month.

With the exception of Leap Years, February & March's first 28 days will always fall on the same day of the week.

Most office photocopiers are broken by someone trying to take a photo of their assets.

The warning on a box of TNT snaps tells you not to put them in your mouth and bite down.

Also, the tune for the ABC song, BaBa Blacksheep, and twinkle twinkle little star are all the same.

I didn't know BaBa Blacksheep had a "tune" - we just always "chanted" it (for lack of a better word).

Did you know that there is no vowel in the word "rhythm"

( The letter "Y" is only a vowel when it is the last letter of a word.)
