Stings Like A Bee

Friday, June 19th, 2009

The honeybee kills more people world-wide than all the poisonous snakes combined.

Don’t ever let cuteness deceive you.

What?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

The letter ‘w’ is the only letter in the alphabet that doesn’t have one syllable, it has three: "Dou-bleyoo".

Now that’s something I never thought about: a character with a pronunciation that is spelled with more letters than what it’s actual spelling is.

Second String

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Ever wondered where the term "second string" came from? Apparently, in the Middle ages, archers always carry a second string with them in case the one on their bow snaps.

Yer Out!

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Funny news I read on Yahoo!

 

Apparently, in West Burlington, Iowa, an umpire throws out someone off the stadium.

Was it the pitcher? Nope.

Was it the one at bat? Nope.

Would you believe he threw out the entire crowd for "being unruly"?

The umpire, Don Briggs, said he didn’t have any problems with the players. The ones he had a problem with are the people on the stands, who he said were yelling and arguing. To add insult to injury, he also called the police as a precaution, but no arrests were made.

Wonder what the umpire experienced on his way to the stadium.

Surprising News About Coffee

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Or maybe not.

Apparently, large doses of coffee can be lethal.

The dose that is considered lethal is ten grams in four hours - which is equal to 100 cups around that same period.

Gee, I wonder why that would be considered lethal? Maybe it’s death by coffee drowning.
