As a struggling young writer, Harper Lee once got a years' wages as a gift from a friend with the note "You have a year off from your job to write whatever you please. Merry Christmas."

She wrote To Kill a Mockingbird

***************************************

In 1372 architect Yi Kaizhan was hired to build a fort along the Great Wall, and he ordered the exact number of bricks he needed. When his judgement was questioned, he added one more.

The extra brick was never used.

***************************************

When Michael Foot was put in charge of a Nuclear Disarmament Committee. The Times headline read :

Foot Heads Arms Body

***************************************

Guinness Stout actually has fewer calories than skimmed milk, orange juice and a lot of other beers.

***************************************

That's enough exciting information you may not have known for a wet Sunday afternoon :)

Somebody post something funny ....................... pretty please :)

Knew the first but not the rest. Mmmmmm Guinness, I wonder if my long and bizarre list of things I used to like and don't like anymore would permit one? Really, really fancy one right now.

Just signed a petition today on the Care2.com site (which I thoroughly recommend if you like good causes and information on a wide variety of subjects) regarding Harper Lee's current attempts to win back the copyright of her book which was swindled from her by her agent so happy co-incidence to read your fact - which I did not know nor the others so thank you. I like to learn.
