I can't imagine spreading peanut butter over slippery jelly...what a mess that would make!!! I do spread my jelly over my peanut butter rather than the other piece of bread, I don't like how it taste when I spread one on each side...ummm is that a blonde statement!?!

Did you know that in an average person, all the blood vessels, veins, arteries, and capillaries lined up one to the other can go around the world at least twice ?
(This thread is really funny because there are several different radio commercials airing here now that also include such facts.)

These are great! I am having so much fun reading these - esp. the one about the pig!!
I heard this one on Good Morning America while Mario Batali was cooking earlier - Asparagus can grow 10" in 24 hours.

Asparagus is similar to bamboo and bamboo actually grows quite fast too. I read 24in (30cm) in 24 hours!

perhaps thats why men eat Asparagus then? ;)
I dont know many facts - useless or otherwise but I saw this on Trivial Pursuit years ago, and it stuck with me:
Pinguins only mate once a year.

These are pretty funny--is this thread still open? I got one...
I heard that over the average person's lifetime, they spend as much time in the bathroom as they do on vacation. :rainbowf:
Personally, I think that's pretty crappy! Shouldn't you get more vacation than time in a little room with no view?! :wink2:
