Thanks, Kitt! I'm curious: Why do you think that's a horrible image?

1)I think fact, the weight distribution and the slime gotta count for something.
2. Fact, don't know, have the book but I am too lazy to count but it is extremely repetitive.

The horrible image was what might happen to the slug, on the razor, if number 1 wasn't a fact!

Slugs and snails are much more afraid of table salt!

Good evening, FoCers! Today, the temps here in the Northwest surpassed 70 degrees F. First time in quite a while for that!

Questions on the table are:

  1. Can a snail crawl over the edge of a razor without cutting itself?
  2. Did Dr. Seuss use only 50 words to write Green Eggs and Ham?


I thought Kitt had a bad reaction to the penguin picture I posted, but it was really the mental picture of a snail being sliced to bits on a razor that got her. Yeah, that is a terrible thought! Well, here's what y'all think about the questions:
1 Fact 11
Crap 1
2 Fact 9
Crap 3
And here's what the Calendar Creators have to say:

1. It's FACT!
snail
"Snails produce a colorless, sticky discharge that forms a protective carpet under them as they travel along. The discharge is so effective that they can crawl along the edge of a razor without cutting themselves."


Maybe so, but I don't want to be the next one to use that razor! :-)

2. It's FACT!
Sam
"In 1954, Theodor Seuss Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, read a book titled 'Why Johnny Can't Read,' which blamed 'pallid and bland' primers for children's lack of interest in reading. So Seuss made a list of 220 words he thought important for a beginning reader to know and wrote 'The Cat in the Hat.' It was a hit when it came out in 1957, selling 3 million copies over the next three years. His friend, editor Bennett Cerf, then bet him $50 that he couldn't write a book using only 50 words. The result was 'Green Eggs and Ham,' published in 1960."


Well, Dr. Seuss worked for me! I remember reading many of his books when I was a kid and maybe that's what started me on my love of reading. :-)

Okay, so here's a new one for you to ponder:

The Kiwi bird can neither see nor fly.

FACT or CRAP? You decide!

I know it is a flightless bird, but I think it can see so I guess I have to say crap to not seeing.
