Random facts

I think Wikipedia is a great site to peruse subjects of interest. I rely on wikipedia a lot especially in areas such as Geopraphy, History and Math. I know it is not 100%accurate, but I don't need 100% accuracy. Pretty accurate is good enough for me.

Here are 10 things I learned from Wikipedia today.

1. The United States tops the world in plastic surgery procedures. Mexico comes next.

2. Libya is the only country with a single color flag

3. In all the countries surveyed, women do more housework than men

4. The United States has the world's highest marriage rate as well as the highest divorce rate.

5. Brazil is the largest Catholic country in the world

6. People in Germany, Belgium, Hungary and Sweden pay half their salaries in tax.

7. Candice Bergen was the first female guest host on SNL and she dated Henry Kissinger.

8. France is the top destination in the world for tourist

9. Per capita, South Africa has the most assaults, rapes and murders with firearms, but in number terms more crimes are committed in America than any other nation in the world.

10. Gerald Ford's running mate in the 1976 presidential election was Bob Dole.

On a side note, I finally got some sleep last night after two weeks of sleepless nights. I slept for about 10 hours,which felt good, and I made sure of that. Because one more late night and I would have looked like my kids grandma rather than their mom. Another good thing with getting a good night sleep is that I feel 75% less like an ass than I did yesterday.

Did you hear that? My stomach is growling with hunger. I am losing the ability to type coherently too. I need to feed myself like in one minute or it's entirely possible that i am going to pass out from hunger. Which might explain the loopiness.

P.S. I have added a few more links to the right hand column, and one of the links is for my youngest daughter's website. Some of the pages on her site has not been updated in a long time, but it will still give you a little glimpse into my family's life.
