It is estimated that 1.5 exabytes (1.5x 10^18) of unique new information will be generated worldwide this year (2008). That is estimated to be more than in the previous 5,000 years of human existence. The amount of new technical information is doubling every 2 years. For students starting a four-year technical or college degree this year (2008), this means that... half of what you learn your first year will be outdated by your third year.

Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a
piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.
In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb"
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
The first product Motorola started to develop was a record player

The original name for butterfly was flutterby.

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them, "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down."

"Dumb Lawsuit" Bonehead Award:
After a McKeesport, Pennsylvania, man?s lawsuits against his former employer were dismissed as frivolous, he filed a lawsuit against God for failing to take action against the "leaders of his Church and Nation and their extremely serious wrongs, which ruined his life."
He asked for "the return of his youth, the ability to play the guitar, the resurrection of both his pet pigeon Drusky and his mother."
How did he expect to win?
He said that he figured God would not show up at court so he?d win by default.
