F. Y. I.

Back  Then
In Ancient Greece, throwing an apple to a woman was considered a marriage proposal.

Quotable
by Eleanor Roosevelt, former first lady (1884-1962)
"When will our conscience grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?"

Still  on the Books
In Texas, it is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.

Table  Tidbits
A pineapple is neither an apple nor a pine.  It is, in fact, a large berry.

Small  Wonder
The bumblebee bat is the smallest mammal on Earth.  It weighs less than a penny.
