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.)

Did you know that, like 'Y', the letter 'W' can be either a vowel or consonant?

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.

hey now, im sure there are quite a few not-so-smart fashion designers back in the day that thought it would be good to trade samples and what not...

It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.
A Chicago law forbids eating in a place that is on fire.
In Disney's Fantasia, the Sorcerer to whom Mickey played an apprentice was named Yensid, which is Disney spelled backward.
"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson was the first video to air on MTV by a black artist. (O/T: rumor has it that he is moving to my hometown.  )

That isn't true. The Y in rhythm makes the ih sound, which is an established vowel sound. It isn't only a vowel at the end of a word.
