More Internet Facts

Saying for the day: We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true. ~Robert Wilensky, 1996

Today I perform my weekly public service. I give you fifteen internet facts . These are things that you can astonish your friends with. Of the fifteen “facts” one is a “real fact”. Past real facts have included the Mona Lisa has no eyebrows , Jimmy Carter was the first US. President to be born in a hospital., and the original name of Bank of America was Bank of Italy.. But the facts I make up could be true. I am a really good maker upper. In any case you can tell your friends “ It must be true because I read it on the internet. Today’s list:

#### News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal Tommy UK went to his uncle’s in Iron Mountain last night on the last train out. His father did not seem very happy but Tommy UK was beaming. This is his very favorite uncle.
Thomas Lackmet who tried to shoot the town baby dragon was cited today for bringing a rifle into town. There is a town ordinance that forbids the bringing of guns in to the community. It was passed to protect the dragon from Mrs. Trumble. It carries a heavy fine and poor Thomas can now add that to his pain and suffering.
Last night our three dragons did their thing. Mother drgon seems so proud. The papa dragon was nowhere to be seen but people now have the feeling he is watching and given Thomas’s experience nobody wants to get him upset. At least he didn’t burn down the town.
The White Rabbit was seen at the railroad station this morning by the people on the milk train. It waved and smiled and winked. Then it hopped away. Although some of the people said it didn’t hop it sort of flowed away.

Today's Link-The Thoughts and Sayings of Babba Doodlius- The sheep Hobbit plot exposed.
A good day. Oxygen was up three points. Not up to normal but up. I visited all the alphabet blogs in the morning. At noon we went to see " Prince Caspian". I really enjoyed the movie. Came home and visited almost all my links. Betty and Pennie went shopping. I watched two hours of " House". Now I need a breathing treatment.
