On the new hundred-dollar bill the time on the clock tower of Independence Hall is 4:10.

The vignette on the reverse of the five-dollar note depicts a likeness of the front of the Lincoln Memorial as it appeared in 1922 when it was first dedicated.  At that time, there were only 48 states that made up the United States of America.  The names of 26 states were engraved on the front of the Memorial.  This is why only the names of 26 states appear in the vignette on the reverse of the five-dollar note.  In the upper frieze of the façade in the vignette the states are from left to right: Arkansas, Michigan, Florida, Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas, West Virginia, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, and North Dakota.  In the lower frieze from left to right the names of the states are: Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Carolina, Hampshire, Virginia and New York.

All 50 states are listed across the top of the Lincoln Memorial on the back of the $5 bill.

Elbows and tongues?

Elbows and tongues?

The length from your wrist to your elbow is the same as the length of your foot.

Like fingerprints, everyone has a unique tongue print.

It is physically impossible to lick your own elbow!  See Mr. Brandon trying it now?

We have four basic tastes plus umami. The salt and sweet taste buds are at the tip of the tongue, bitter at the base, and sour along the sides; umami is a mixture of tastes sensed along the center of the tongue.

Not all our taste buds are on our tongue; about 10% are on the palette and the cheeks.

Your mouth produces 1 litre (1.8 pints) of saliva a day.

Two young people borrowed the parent’s convertible for an evening of fun.  Dressed to the “nines” and traveling in style they left home.  They went to the mall, movies, dinner, and then miniature golfing as it started to rain.  Panic began destroying the fabulous evening of fun. The young people were now locked out of their parent’s vehicle!  They were afraid to call home for a spare set of keys.  A kind person passing by lent them a coat hanger to try to wedge between the window and the frame in hopes of pushing the unlock button.  They were now frantic as it began to rain.  What are they panicking about?

Way to go Mr. Perry for his geniusness, the car was indeed a convertible with the top down, they were panicking because the seats were going to get wet!

We should all get the same answer to this mathematical certainty.  Think of a number, multiply it by 3, add 5, take away the number you first thought of , now add 7, subtract 4, now add back the number you first thought of, now close your eyes, what do you see?

Great thinking Mr. Perry, the answer is zero!!!
