Your trivia for the day

So in the wee hours of the morning, because I wasn't sleeping anyway [since I fell asleep by 8:30, then woke up about four hours later], I decided to use a $15 credit I had with Amazon [for sending that computer back] to replace my old jeans, and ordered a pair. Turns out that jeans were patented by Jacob W. Davis and Levi Strauss on this day, May 20, in 1873. Thank you to my alarm application on my phone for alerting me to this historical fact early this morning, in its nice British accent.

So now I'm up and awake despite being up in the middle of the night, and I have already taken a friend to work. Think I'll get ready and go over to the Bluegrass Farmers' Market this morning (at Liquor Barn's parking lot in Hamburg) to see what they might have.

By the way

If you look on the left side of this page, you'll see a little widget for Google-a-Day, where you try to find the answer to a question by searching. It's pretty fun. I've known about it for quite awhile but never got around to playing. Now I've been doing it about every day. Enjoy!

Amazing Facts of the Body

Here's one: 'There are more living organisms on the skin of a single human being than there are human beings on the surface of the earth.' There you go. OCD sufferers go wash your hands. I know I will. Unless you're a Jain. How do you manage not to kill anything and stay clean? (Although I admire the religion and its principles greatly.)
