I Wanna Go To A Spa!

Filed under: Trivia — admin @ 4:18 pm

I found a really great website the other day talking about medical spa Atlanta, and now I wanna go. This place looks incredible. This place revitalizes skin, adds fullness to the lips and face of people, eliminate cellulite, shape bodies, and reduce signs of aging, all without any surgical intervention. They even remove unwanted body hair!! They only use products, services, and procedures that are safe, effective, and scientifically sound. Many places don’t bother to do that. That’s how people get hurt. Too many people think they know what they’re doing when they don’t. This place looks really good, though.

College and Weight Gain

Filed under: Trivia — admin @ 6:16 am

Did you know that the stats show that most college students, within their first year, will gain an average of 15 pounds? It’s called the freshman 15. Me on the otherm hand will probably have to deal with the freshman -15. I can’t seem to gain any weight no matter how hard I try. Instead, whar do I do? I lose weight!!! This is so not cool.

A Married Pope?

Filed under: Trivia — admin @ 4:55 pm

Adrian II (867-872) was the last married Catholic pope. He was actually married before he became pope, but refused to adopt celibacy or give up his wife when he ascended the papal throne.

I didn’t realize that there were ever any married popes. I didn’t think that that was allowed in the Catholic church. I didn’t think that you could even become pope if you had been married before. Guess I have a lot to learn.

In 1892, Italy raised the minimum age for marriage for girls - to 12.

Wow. Imagine being married at twelve! When I was twelve, I wasn’t even thinking about marriage!! I have a twelve year old sister, and there is no way she is ready for marriage. She still thinks boys are “nasty” and that you can catch cooties from them. Someday, she’ll learn. Someday.

Over 2500 left handed people are killed each year from using products
made for right handed people.

Now that I can believe. I am left-handed, and very definately agree that
the world is geared towards left-handed people. I have often muttered in
frustration about having to write in a notebook with the spirals poking
into my hand and wrist while I’m trying to write. Everytime I write
anything, I get a smudge of ink across my pinkie finger area, and it’s
from having to drag my hand back across whatever it is I’ve just
written, while trying to write something else. It’s really a pain.

A human head remains conscious for about 15 to 20 seconds after it is
been decapitated.

Not a fun method of execution. Certainly not my choice. If I have to be
murdered, I would want to not know about it, and not know what’s
happening. Just my personal preference.

Notables who were the only child in their families include Ansel Adams,
Hans Christian Andersen, Carol Burnett, Raymond Chandler, Eric Clapton,

Montessori, Jack Nicholson, Flannery O’Connor, Al Pacino, Charlie "Bird"

I am seriously glad that I am not an only child. There are days when I
say I wish I was, but I wouldn’t trade my three sisters for anything in
the world. I tend to think of only children as "lonely children". No
offense meant to any only children out there.

The average person uses the bathroom 6 times per day.

Ummmmm………why would anybody count that? How do they come up with
that statistic anyway? Did they take a poll? Just stand on a street
corner and ask any person going by: Hey, how many times do you use the
bathroom a day? Then what do they do? Do they average it? I can
seriously not believe that somebody wasted their time to come up with
that average. Why does anybody want it? I’m confused. I don’t understand.

Baskin Robbins once made ketchup ice cream. This was the only vegetable
flavored ice cream produced.

Ummmm….that’s kind of gross. I eat ketchup on almost everything, and I
wouldn’t eat ketchup ice cream. I have been known to even eat ketchup on
my scrambled eggs. Ketchup ice cream is definately pushing it.
