A wild Wednesday to all FoCers! Here in FoC land, I have received a new computer. It's still in the box, though, while I try to dig through all the crap on my desk to make room for it during the transition period from one system to the other! These things should come with installers who will move furniture and file paperwork or whatever else is necessary to make the transition complete to the new system! But I digress. Yesterday's question was. . . Did Leonardo da Vinci first describe and sketch contact lenses in 1508? You came up with some very inventive justifications for your answers, which were. . .While I suppose just about anything is possible, I have to wonder if anyone truly believes that Al Gore invented the Internet or that Leo's contacts were made from wood, but ya never know! Anyway, the folks at FoC Central have this to say about that. . . It's FACT! "Though Leondardo da Vinci drew several versions of contact lenses, it wasn't until 1887 that glassblower F.E. Muller of Wiesbaden produced the first eye covering designed to be seen through. In 1936 William Fieinbloom, a New York optometrist, fabricated out of plastic -- and manufactured -- the first American-made contact lens." Yes, that Leo was certainly ahead of his time! And, for the record, you can find out if mascara was created by Tammy Fay or not here. Okay, so onward and sideways we go on this wacky Wednesday, February 1, 2006.
On average, 9,000 earthquakes take place worldwide every day. FACT or CRAP? You decide!

Fact. Trust me...it's true. In Southern California alone (not counting the times Pamy feels the Earth move), we have at least 900 unnoticed Earthquakes per day. So can you imagine that 9,000 a day in the whole wide world must be reasonable.

fact, Pamy always leaves out the important facts to her answer. Pamy doesn't account for all 9,000...but why do you think California has such a high count. (also, that little girl Pamy was talking about who couldn't keep her pants up....well, that little girl was actually Pamy mooning everyone. a little fact i waited until today to "expose".)

That's gotta be crap, think about it, everytime someone rips one they create their own little earthquake. And from what I've been reading if everyone was half as happy as Pammy we'd be having one continuous earthquake.

Fact. I'm sure it's fact, if you count all the thousands of microquakes that occur each day. (And if you don't believe me, come 'n live in southern California! <wink>)
