Vindication!

According to this site, seven percent of Americans claim they never bathe at all. Hah! And people tried to make me out like I was a freak.

It's quite an entertaining page. The trivia there is much more contemporary than your typical "Coca-Cola used to be green" trivia page, and there's lots of stuff there I'd never heard before. But there's a few that I know to be true, and a few more that I've researched on the web, and all have turned out to be true. So it looks like the page is pretty trustworthy. Given that, here's some facts from the page that make me happy:

  • Each year, more people are killed by teddy bears than by grizzly bears.
  • David Bowie thinks he is being stalked by someone who is dressed like a giant pink rabbit. Bowie has noticed the fan at several recent concerts, but he became alarmed when he got on a plane and the bunny was on board.
  • An average of 100 people choke to death on ball point pens each year.

Amazing, the things that people can find to die on.

This website was made for me:

"We forget 80 percent of what we learn everyday."

I will remember that!

I find the mention of david bowie's crazed bunny stalker particularly touching. All this time, I never knew he noticed!
