I had to look up that mondo cashew tree. Even without a ginormous tree, cashews are so weird the way they grow, yet so yummy. It’s one of those things where you wonder who was the first person who tried to eat one

Who picked up the first oyster, split it, and said "Oh, that looks good!" ??

And a special thanks to the trendsetters who tried the poison berry’s and mushrooms so we could have blueberries in our Oatmeal and fungi on our pizza

My vote goes to Clown College. Now I can't help but ponder "How many of the Clown College rejects, graduated Harvard?"

Your clown photo (shudder) has just traumatised a whole lot of Coulrophobics.

Hope you're proud.... 😊

Word of the day: Coulrophobics - extreme or irrational fear of clowns.

"it has emerged that the multimillionaire entrepreneur suffers from coulrophobia"

Thanks Janette!

Giant cashew tree? Not nuts at all.... no, really. Cashews are seeds (of a kind of, sort of cashew 'apple'). True!

I'm stuck on the fact that I only heard of the Texas City disaster here for the first time! Wha'??? Now I have to go look it up, and see if they rebuilt or what! Why has this been glossed over?

I like the eyesight facts. I have early stage glaucoma in my right eye, a small spot directly above center. The spot sees nothing but instead of darkness, or a black void, my brain does fill in what is missing. Only when reading do I notice letters in the line above disappear but the background color remains. I usually don't notice at all.
