Here are some little trivial nothings that I have dug up out of my archives of useless things learnt in College........it wasn't all fun and parties all of the time you know......

 

So.......

 

The late Walter Kent, who wrote "I'll Be Home for Christmas," earns about $18,000 in royalties every year - all of which now goes to charity.

&
In the 18th century, Russian mom Mrs. Feodor Vassilyev gave birth to more kids than anyone, ever - 69, including 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets, and four sets of quadruplets.

&

What is called a "French kiss"

in the English speaking world

is known as an "English kiss"

in France.



So.......

Did you know ? ? ?

Know I didn't know.
$18,000 a year is a liveable amount of money........so now all you have to do is write and produce a classic movie and you'll be all set Kimmie.........

regina k. Dec 2, 2008, 12:20am EST
i could live off his royalties alone! and she can have all those kids!!! 2 is more than enough for me!!!!

So, did she ever get out of bed? I can't begin to fathom how one would be able to feed that many kids.
I don't know Bounder....it would seem like she wouldn't have much time for much anything else......and to feed 69 kids................yeah right.......

I really have to agree with regina that 2 was plenty for us too..........

Sassy ... the calm and cool Cat Dec 2, 2008, 5:56am EST
Oh, geez, it's painful just thinking about having 69 kids.
Janet Somewhere Up On The Mount Dec 2, 2008, 6:13am EST
Hi Randy, TY these are interesting.
Pamela K. Dec 2, 2008, 8:08am EST
69 kids did she not learn the word no? - wow.
hi Jan.......I am so glad you're back hun ! ! !

69 kids.........but in the 1700s I don't think they practiced too much birth control....and if the were farm folk, that would make for a good work force for them....hehehe
