Greetings fellow FoCers! Spring break is here and boy am I glad I don't have teenagers! I was transcribing today when there arose a terrible racket. It was a kid POUNDING his fist on the door of the house next to mine (we're not that far apart). He did it for a good five minutes before I finally went out there to tell him to knock it off (no pun intended). I figured no one was home. Just as I was telling him that, the kid inside the house opened the door! Go figure. Anyway. . . Are there approximately 100,000 miles of blood vessels in the body of an adult human? (And did every one of mine pulse painfully while that kid was pounding on that door?) You said: Well, I can't think of any good pictures for this one! Here's what the Calendar Corpuscles have to say: It's FACT! "Most of the blood vessels in the human body are short, microscopic capillaries. If you laid all 40 billion (40,000,000,000) of them end to end, they would reach four times around the world!" Well bloody hell, go figure! Okay, here's one in a different vein (Yeah, it's punny. Give me a break, it's late! ):
Alberto VO5 hair products were created for First Lady Mamie Eisenhower. FACT or CRAP? You decide!

it was created for rula lenska to star in the commercials so people would say, 'who is rula lenska?!' i'll say 'crap' for it being created for mamie. now, if it was a 'max factor crap' question, i would know it was for the early moviestars....but our 'max, fact or crap person' is way too young to have created makeup for the stars! she makes up questions for FOC'ers like us!

Fact. As I recall, Mamie's hair had a wee bit of a greasy look to it.

I am also going to say fact, Loreal has been around a long time and that sounds like it would be a good promotion, who wouldn't want to use a product of the First Lady back then.

Any sentence that has to do with politics has to be crap. Just go over to the news and views area and you can read all kinds of crap.

Good evening, FoCers. I've had a not-so-good day, although I'm sure it could have been worse. Tomorrow is "meet the accountant" day to get taxes done, so it's looking bleak! On the table tonight, we have. . . Were Alberto VO5 hair products created for First Lady Mamie Eisenhower?
Wow, wouldn't some of the gals in Hollywood KILL for those cheekbones! Nah, they'd just shell out big bucks for some fake ones. <sigh> Okay, you said: Oh, and since several of you mentioned Rula Lenska, here you go:
Now, then, the Calendar Crewcuts say: It's CRAP! "The Alberto VO5 line of special hair products was made for Hollywood starlets, whose coiffures were easily damaged by the harsh studio lights. During the 1950s, a chemist named Alberto came up with the formula, which includes five organic emollients."
Now you know, the rest of the story! Okay, I'm tired and tomorrow promises to be a long day, so here's a new one to ponder:
The 7-Eleven convenience stores were first called Tote'm. FACT or CRAP? You decide!
