F. Y. I.

Quotable
by  Johnny Depp, actor
"The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants."

Indulge
Today is National Pizza With the Works Except Anchovies Day.

Beware the Bark
The world's most dangerous tree is the manchineel tree;  its sap blisters the skin and its fruit causes ulcers in the mouth and esophagus.

State Stats
Nebraska has two counties named after animals:  Antelope and Buffalo.

Chew on This
The first known bubble gum, Blibber-Blubber, failed to catch on in 1906 because it was too sticky and brittle to hold together when chewed.

Still on the  Books
In Kentucky, one may not dye a duckling blue and offer it for sale unless more than six are for sale at once.
