  • Chinese checkers were not invented in or originally from China (which I learned December 2008 while reading some packaging); according to some sources found in Google, the game was invented in Germany.
  • Some types of morning glory seeds are hallucinogenic (something my lawyer told me and which is why it was illegal in, i.e., California to possess the seeds in the 1960s).
  • Playfulness in a feline is a sign of intelligence, according to a broadcast about felines on PBS. (Playfulness in a human? Might indicate intelligence as long as the human isn't chasing his/her own tail/tale .)

I had the honor of traveling on the SS Norway in the year 2000, the largest cruise ship in the world. Named the SS France before Norwegian Cruise Line took her over, she was launched in the presence of French President Charles de Gaulle in May 1960 and in 1962 she carried the Mona Lisa to New York City.

I loved that ship that is now retired permanently. It was like traveling on the Titanic.

Ooo, speaking of the Titanic, just this past fall, Elizabeth Gladys "Millvina" Dean (last living survivor) had to auction off her memorabilia to pay for her nursing home. Her mom and brother also survived the ordeal and have since perished.


LMAO! Sandy, based on your avatar, she's obviously STILL seasick!!!!!
