* You cannot snore and dream at the same time.
* James Buchanan, who was our 15th president, continually bought slaves with his own money in order to free them.
* It would take a sloth one month to travel one mile.
* About half of all Americans are on a diet on any given day.
* Chewing gum will burn about 11 calories an hour.
* It takes more calories to eat either celery or apples than are in them. They are 'negative calory' foods.
* It seems that about 9 out of 10 Americans are deficient in Potassium.
The picture is mine of my grandson when he was about ten years old putting one of his Legos together.

I did not know that former President James Buchanan bought slaves with his own money in order to free them. Interesting facts that I did not know.

Yes, it is but, I find in talking to people on the subject they have told me that after they had their annual check-ups they find they do have this deficiency. Weird

Great picture. I knew about celery being negative calories; but I didn't know that about apples. I have been eating an apple every night.
