Did you know where we got the phrase: "Mind your P's and Q's"?
One theory as to the origin of this phrase comes from English pubs and taverns of the seventeenth century. Bartenders would keep a watch on the alcohol consumption of the patrons; keeping an eye on the pints and quarts that were consumed. As a reminder to the patrons, the bartender would recommend they "mind their Ps and Qs". This may also have been a reminder to bartenders not to confuse the two units, written as "p" and "q" on the tally slate.

I just read this morning that, in the United States, we will not be able to purchase the regular 100 watt incandescent light bulb. As of January 1, 2012, they are banned from production and store shelves will be emptied of them. They'll also be banned from importation.
A LED bulb is being produced that is said to produce light equivalent to 100 watts, but each bulb, as of now, will cost around $50.00!
Lower wattage incandescent light bulbs will also begin to be banned beginning in 2014. Current fixtures in lamps will not accomodate the new bulbs being developed thus far.
Hoarding of the current bulbs is anticipated.

the word "shit" is an acronym for "Ship High In Transit". When cargo ships had manure to transit, they would mark the crates " S H I T" because the smell was so bad they wanted them hosited high in the air so the smell would waft over the ship and be less smelly.

I know some interesting facts about dolphins, sharks, whales, volcanoes, etc. One fact that you be interested in is about dolphins. Did you know that dolphins do not sleep with both eyes closed? In fact, half the brain goes to sleep as the other half is alert to predators and keeps them in survival mode, also reminding them to go breath at the surface every 30 minutes or so.

Often times people will yell or hit their dog for barking when they see something or hear something and come to warn you. They are simply conveying alarm and when you yell back it just raises their level of excitement. The best thing to do is speak in a firm and calm voice and tell them no. They will understand from your voice that their is nothing to worry about because you have it all under control.
Of course sometimes its just a squirrel that taunts them ever day. LOL
