I am very, very tired today. I used to be able to handle 3 or 4 days without sleep, but right now I seem to be down to one. This is the 3rd.

Richard Francis Burton wrote that in Yemen there is something called "the sweet wind" that happens each year coinciding with when strong breezes blow off the Red Sea and bring with them the sugar-rich pollens of a type of shrub that flourishes in the Horn of Africa. It is said the waters of the Red Sea keep the pollens moist and thereby preserve their sweetness, making it seem the winds themselves suddenly have that taste.

“Scientists know that rats like to have their bellies tickled, so they used that as basis for testing happiness in rats. They found out that the ears of rats undergoing tickling became droopier and pinker - subtle signs of being relaxed and happy“

Just what I needed to know- how to make rats happy.

Tom Graeff, the man who wrote, edited, and directed  Teenagers From Outer Space (You know, the movie with the ray gun that turns people into skeletons and the one that uses the shadow of a lobster as it's giant monster) put an ad in the Los Angles times declaring himself to be Jesus Christ The Second and even had his name legally changed.

Rod Serling (of Twilight Zone fame) once tried to play a prank on Richard Matheson (who wrote the Nightmare at 20,000 feet among other things). 

The two of them were going to fly to San Fransisco together.  Serling arranged the seats, and made sure the stewardesses had the shades drawn closed.  Rod also had a poster of the gremlin blown up and taped to the outside of the window.  The idea was that he would nervously say to Richard to to draw the shades and Matheson would open them to reveal a gremlin right outside the window. 

However right as he was about to have Matheson open the window, the plane started and the propellers blew the poster away.

Rod was a bit uipset as he had spent hours trying to figure out how top pull the prank off and Richard Matheson never even saw it.

I know leopard urine does, but I didn't know that about tigers. Boy, that's sure not true of housecats...

Kellogg's pop tarts made their way into German supermarkets only a few years ago. They are made in the US and shipped to Germany.
There are only two pop tart flavors available, strawberry and chocolate.
One single pop tart weights 1.6 oz. One single pop tart in the US weights 3.3 oz.

In the 1828 Presidential campaign, John Quincy Adams was accused of using Federal funds to install "gambling tables" in the White House in order to turn it into a den of iniquity. What he'd actually done was purchase (out of his own salary) a chess board and billiards table to play against his sons.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
