Ramblin' - Who Knew............

A recording of a camel's moan was slowed down and used as the sound of the tornado in the movie Twister. (***Nita - the friend who saw the sound stage of Twister at Universal Studios with me - this is for you!!!)

The number of cricket chirps you count in a fifteen-second interval, plus thirty-seven, will tell you the current air temperature. (***Windsor and Amy - this one is just for you - I knew I had read this somewhere!!!)

Mexican jumping beans jump because there is an actual one-quarter inch caterpillar trapped inside. (***Pepe - this one was for you, because you were the only one who believed me).




Despite repeated requests for Elvis, the only real people ever depicted as Pez dispensers have been Betsy Ross and Daniel Boone. (***Brenda the worlds greatest pez consumer - this is for you!!)
