More Internet FACTS

Saying for the Day: What, exactly, is the Internet? Basically it is a global network exchanging digitized data in such a way that any computer, anywhere, that is equipped with a device called a "modem" can make a noise like a duck choking on a kazoo. ~Dave Barry
It’s time for some more internet facts. This is where I give you one real fact and fourteen that I make up. The fact that I make them up doesn’t mean they aren’t real. I make up real good facts.
In the past real facts included:

Here are today’s fifteen internet facts.

3.The favorite internet site of the 100 million internet users in China is BBC.com.
4. Walt Disney kept live mice in his room as a kid. From that came Mickey Mouse.
5.The country with the most personal computers is Japan.
6. The original name of Bank of America was Bank of Italy.
7. Most dust particles in the average home are the remains of little insects.
8. It takes thirty six muscles to say one word.
9. The per cent of people who have never talked on a phone is now down to 23.5% because of the advent of the mobile phone.
10. Left handed people live longer than right handed ones.

#### News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal. The town is getting ready for the big celebration this afternoon. There will be a picnic with pasties by the Methodist ladies. Sometime during the festivities Mayor Trumble will read a proclamation that declares today to be Tommy Club day in honor of their saving the town. Each member of the club will be given an official copy of the Proclamation. Tommy UK says one copy will be framed and hung on the clubhouse wall.
There is still no sign of Fudd. It is possible he climbed into a freight car and got off in iron Mountain. Nobody checks those cars in Pigeon Falls.
Things have gotten a little weirder. The State Police got a hit on Fudd’s fingerprint in a federal data base but were told that the information was restricted. They have not been able to find out why.
Despite all of that the celebration will go on . They even have fireworks planned for the evening .Let’s hope they don’t burn the town down by accident.

Well it was not a good day. My oxygen was up a bit from yesterday but still too low. Betty and Pennie went shopping. I did a little blogging. Then I had lunch and really got sick. I spent the afternoon trying not to heave. Now I need a breathing treatment.
