Only 2 percent of the world's population have natural green eyes.

According to Wikipedia, the widespread use of eye-rolling in a negative connotation wasn’t present till the 1980s. It used to be an expression of desire or flirtation.

In 1967, the Nigerian Civil War stopped for only two days because both sides wanted to watch Pele
play in an exhibition match.

Apparently there are people with a fetish for movies or TV shows where two people switch bodies. Must be especially if the characters are of the opposite sex. Instead of thinking it must be scary or just plain weird to find yourself in another person's (or animal's) body, they get turned on by such things.

Sheesh, was *isn't* a fetish these days?

A Japanese pilot who destroyed an Oregon town during World War II returned years later to present his family's 400-year-old sword as a symbol of regret.

Today is the first time ever that I have tasted a mushroom picked and identified by myself! Since I have been too reluctant to trust my own judgment on identifying mushrooms earlier this is fun for me. Perhaps I will to go picking mushrooms too one day.

This is a puffball mushroom and they grow plentiful around here. But I have been too late with my knew knowledge because now most of them have become too mature and ripe which means that the white marshmallow-like "meat" turns into dark spores and makes the mushroom into this little powder ball.

It has become a favorite of mine this little mushroom, not only because it is my first identified and tasted mushroom but because I think it is so sweet the way it grows and matures so it makes it belong right in there with the fairy tails, gnomes and elves.



Still I have many photos of mushrooms I have taken but haven`t managed to identify so I hope my book will help me when I get it in the mail I like this so much!

Today, I learned that Ms.Berg is more intelligent than people give her credit for..
