Where did the other 94 bones go that I was born with? Fun post.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read #2, I thought you were wondering if the French kiss tasted like Gala, Granny Smith, or a Fuji! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love reading stuff like this! Coca Cola green? Eew-ish!
Fun! This one grosses me out - 11. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin! I'm going to go clean my house now. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, where to begin, LOL...The right-handed thing fascinates me. I wonder if there's some sort of psychology involved since the world pretty much caters to right-handed people and not lefties.
ReplyDeleteAnd the church thing just cracks me up.
So is un-dyed Coca-cola really Mountain Dew? LOL
ReplyDelete19 is hilarious. Wonder what the fine is?
These are some goodies!! But I'm a little worried about my sis and mom now that I have that right-handed/left-handed stat. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure that I have sneezed in a church in Nebraska. Spent a whole week outdoors there, pollen and I don't agree, and then visited my friends church. Luckily, no one took me away for indecent sneezing. Thank you, Lord.
ReplyDeleteLove these factoids. They totally suck me in! I'm finding the bug flavors the craziest today. Not sure I would ever be bold enough to try one, but in desperation I suppose I would sample an apple beetle. Just sayin!
Lacie, how fun. I didn't know you had a blog. I too have one but it's more of a family photo journal. I'll have to come check in on you from time to time. BTW I don't know what my favorite was but I almost didn't read it when I saw the beetle on top... last thing I need is more creepy information, to haunt my dreams, about bugs!
