Yay for more interesting things.. get ready, here they come! Pinocchio is Italian for "pine head." Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten. All porcupines float in water. Camel's milk does not curdle. Murphy's Oil Soap is the chemical most commonly used to clean elephants. In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere. The airplane Buddy Holly died in was the "American Pie" (thus the name of the Don McLean song). The only nation whose name begins with an "A," but doesn't end in an "A," is Afghanistan. The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases. If you bring a raccoon's head to the Henniker, New Hampshire Town Hall, you are entitled to receive $0.10 from the town. The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is uncopyrightable. The San Francisco Cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments. Clans of long ago that wanted to get rid of their unwanted people without killing them use to burn their houses down - hence the expression "to get fired." David Prowse was the guy in the Darth Vader suit in Star Wars. He spoke all of Vader's lines, and didn't know that he was going to be dubbed over by James Earl Jones until he saw the screening of the movie. Cat's urine glows under a blacklight. The first toilet ever seen on television was on "Leave It To Beaver". And I will post more later. Keep watching for another installment of Interesting Things. Enjoy!
