Monday's Facts


Good morning world, life here is good still not going out but I do leave the house to take Leo up to meet his driver and again in the afternoon to meet the car when he is dropped off. I also take rubbish out to the bin.

It started out cold but is warming up, I am in long pants and a tee shirt, now some facts for this Monday.

More than 100 descendants of Johann Sebastian Bach have been cathedral organists

According to tests done at the Institute for the study of animal problems in Washington DC, dogs & cats like humans are either right or left handed meaning they have one paw they prefer to use over the other.

If you eat too many carrots you may turn orange

Americans can eat as much as 200 pounds of peanuts in their lifetime.........bloody hell

Rubber used to be used in the making of bubble gum............what the hell

In old England when customers in a pub got unruly the landlord would tell them to mind their pints and quarts and settle down. Hence the phrase “to mind your P's & Q's.

  5. Bach's progeny show its in the genes. Explains our family, lol

    I would say, according to that study, Misty is a left hander.

    And that peanut number is skewed, between all the people with peanut allergies- and me, because I don't like them.

    P's and Qs... makes sense!
