There is approximately one chicken for every human being in the world.

Most collect calls are made on Father's day.

The first automobile race ever seen in the United States was held in Chicago in 1895.  The track ran from Chicago to Evanston, Illinois.  The winner was J. Frank Duryea, whose average speed was 7 1/2 miles per hour.

Each of us generates about 3.5 pounds of rubbish a day, most of it paper.

Women manage the money and pay the bills in 75% of all Americans households.

Very Interesting .. my wife manages the finances here. I think I do a little better than that on the rubbish. Do people still make collect calls unless they are in jail? And i would love to race a car for a long distance just once.

This would be lower if it wasn't for the junk mail.

I think my husband would disagree with you, he thinks I probably generate about 15 lbs a day and sometimes I do it just to make him mad. lol

Very interesting. I've never made a collect call, ever and to do it on Father's Day just seems appalling to me.
