F. Y. I.

Quotable
by  Henry Ford, American industrialist (1863-1947)
"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."

Vital Veggie
Mark Twain described the cauliflower as a "cabbage with a college education."

The Nose Knows
Odors sniffed through the right nostril are more pleasant than those smelled through the left.

All Blown Up
A single breath from a mature blue whale can inflate up to 2,000 balloons.

Still on the Books
In Fort Madison, Iowa, the fire department is required to practice fire fighting for 15 minutes before attending a fire.

Of Note
Punctuation didn't exist until the 15th century.
