Random Facts (and Recent Stuff)

Well this post will be just some random little facts, laws and some stuff that has recently happened to me.




  • 1 in 3 Caucasians get skin cancer in their life time
  • If you feed hens certain dyes they can lay eggs with different colors of yolks
  • Women blink nearly twice as much as men.
  • I got a 5 on the AP Test for AP Euro
  • When the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers play football at home to a sellout crowd, the stadium becomes the state's third largest city.
  • An albatross can sleep while it flies
  • In Baltimore, Maryland, it is not legal to take a lion to the movies.
  • I got my drivers license almost a week ago
  • It's illegal to fish from horseback in Utah
  • The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned from Texas
  • In Nevada, it's illegal to drive a camel on the highway
  • In Alaska, it is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane
  • A fine of $25 can be levied for flirting in New York
  • Also in New York, it is illegal to throw a ball at someone's head for fun
  • Once again New York, the penalty for jumping off a building is death
  • You cannot sing in the bathtub if you live in Pennsylvania
  • In Alabama, you can't drive barefoot, play dominoes on Sunday, or flick boogers into the wind.
  • You can hang someone in Nevada if they shoot your dog on your property
  • In Wyoming, women can't stand within 5 feet of the bar when drinking
  • In Minnesota, it is illegal to sleep naked, cross state lines with a duck on your head, drive a motorcycle without a shirt on, or have a bathtub w/o feet
  • Finally, it is illegal for a girl to do her own hair w/o being licensed by the state, in Oklahoma.

K so this one ended up basically being dumb laws that some states have with a couple other things on the side but that doesn't matter too much.

Hey man looks like I would have to pay fine after fine after fine in New York because I am the flirter. Oh ya and the Nebraska Corn Huskers (my second favorite college) have had a sell out home game since 1962. That is 47 years of consecutive every single ticket sold. That is Husker Football baby.

Well here's another one that I learned yesterday:

So you know those little Vitamin C pill things? Yep, just ONE of them contains 833% of the Vitamin C you need in a day.

So, technically, you should only need to take them once every 8.3 days.
