I'm buying the one about the stupid Valentine's cards!
Sleeping Beauty?
crisscrossing urine streams! I guess all business meetings were held outside...
I would've guess it was a higher percentage of women buying Valentine's cards!!
85% percent? Jeeze, I bet 95% pick up the check that night. Cool app. I'm off to download it or buy 63 ft of slinky wire.

I love random facts like this, they make me feel smarter.
I have an app like that on my phone and I also suspect that a lot of them aren't true, unfortunately. I do believe the Valentine's Day one, though.
I want to believe them all! Holland though? Hummm...

Look pretty right to me... interesting, yes, shocking, not so much...
Damn those bees and their anaphylactic shock inducing stings...damn you!
Are you talking classic Disney movies or recent ones too. I can think of a few recent Disney flicks.Oh wait, looks like someone beat me to it already.
I'm with Betty. The Holland one's gotta be a fraud. That can't be right. I'm unhappy that Mr. Monopoly lost to a nut. It's just not right. xo
