Lou Costello of Abbott and Costello had a bad heart, when they first started making movies the studio didnt want to use him, he couldnt pass the physical. Also Bud Abbott was an epelectic, he always carried a pencil in his pocket that could be put between his teeth in case of an attack. Its noticeable in some of their movies.

A bit scary. Glad they never seemed to have any real problems.

Research has determined that most people are happiest at 7:26pm on a Saturday night.

I read their biography. They never got along with each other, they were always fighting. But it didnt show in their movies. They were one of a kind.

The animal that kills the most people is the hippo. One bite and curtains.

I have seen them attack on the Internet. It is quite scary to watch! They rip right through native's boats like they are toothpicks. Nasty!

The face of a penny can hold about thirty drops of water.

One of the Egyptian pharoahs was killed by one. The old papyrus said he was bitten in two.

An elephant in the Berlin zoo killed and ate its keeper.

We had a guy on my Little League baseball team who was epileptic. He didn't have his first seizure until he was 11. He had it in school and everybody knew about it. So
people reacted to him differently than they would another kid his age. He never went anywhere without a #2 pencil in his pocket. I was in awe that he could do everything
he did, knowing it could all disassemble without a moments notice. But he took it
in stride. He was our best hitter(won league batting title two years in a row) and
graduated with honors from our high school. Hoorah.

Lots of interest facts here. Now I have to think of something interesting I know.

The Horror story writer H.P. Lovecraft didnt believe in the supernatural, ghosts, weird gods from outer space or anything he wrote about. He was very definite about that. Most of his stories were based on his dreams and nothing more. He said something to the effect that people who believed in that stuff were idiots.

Wow! That is very interesting! I would have never thought that about him.

In 2012, as phone booths become increasingly obsolete because of mobile phones, a Japanese artist has turned several booths in Osaka into aquariums.

Thats something. Come to think of it, I havent seen a phone booth in ages.

Cant think of much of anything unusual except something I read a while back. Genaral U.S. Grant smoked up to 45 cigars a day. He eventually died of throat cancer.
