The kids are in school, which has left me lonely. When not totally emerged in photography I love reading. Here are a few things I learned today. I don't know if I will ever need to know this stuff... maybe I will end up on Jeopardy.


1. Slugs have four noses. (Really!)

2. Crickets have ears on their legs. (Glad I don't)

3. Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) was born on and died on days when Halley’s Comet can be seen. During his life he predicted that he would die when it could be seen.

4. A polar bears skin is black. Its fur is actually clear, but like snow it appears white.

5.The average chocolate bar has 8 insects’ legs melted into it. (YUCK)
