   “Even though we are ALL one race, HUMAN.”

   I once saw a meme on Facebook about that. It was set up to look like part of a form to fill out. It was labeled “Race”, followed by a few choices, such as Black, White, Asian, and a couple of others. All of the options were crossed out, and “Human” had been hand-written to answer the question. The most interesting part of the post wasn’t the meme, though. It was the username of the person who posted it – beinglatino.

   I wouldn’t want to be Molly Volly’s partner if they lose.

   “Who is this “Uniformed” guy that is coming across as being “inconvenienced” ”

   Why is everybody interpreting the guy’s expression as being grumpy or irritated. If you called security or an ambulance for a situation like this, would you expect them to be smiling and happy when they arrived?

   He’s not cheesed off, he just takes his job very seriously.

   I don’t know what a boy Joe’s age is supposed to weigh, but I’m guessing that 53 lbs is closer to normal. But the doctor doesn’t seem a bit surprised at either weighing.

   It would be fun to go to some lost and found and try something like that. Problem is that I could get in trouble for it. There are no reptiles native to Iceland, and importing them is illegal. Of course, I could put an ad in the paper -

   Lost, one eastern brown snake. If found, do not attempt to handle, as it is one of the world’s most venomous snakes. Contact [name] at[xxx-xxxx].

   Then just put somebody else’s name and phone number.

   The war of 1812 wasn’t fought in 1812, it started in 1812. Peace terms were agreed on in 1814, but not officially ratified until 1815, which is when the war officially ended.

   Some more history trivia…

   The Hundred Years War lasted 116 years.

   The United States celebrates its independence on July 4, which is the date the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. But the American Revolutionary War actually started on April 19, 1775, and didn’t end until September 3, 1783. So, when did the USA really become independent, when the war started, when the war ended, or somewhere in between?

   WWII hasn’t officially ended, since no peace treaty between the Soviet Union and Japan was ever signed. (The Soviet union doesn’t exist any more, but Putin seems intent on reviving it. )

   Speaking of flotation devices, why do the flight attendants always demonstrate how to use them, even when you won’t be flying over water?

    You mean the system that ensures that if you get eaten by a shark, your buddy gets eaten with you?
