“Till pit stop do we part - according to the Associated<br />
Press, a newlywed German couple’s marriage<br />
‘got off to a rocky start when the groom forgot<br />
his bride at a highway gas station on the way home<br />
from their honeymoon, only noticing she was<br />
missing after two and a half hours had passed.’<br />
She had been sleeping in the back of their van<br />
but awoke to use the restroom as her husband<br />
fueled up - but neglected to tell him. She waited<br />
patiently until he returned.”<br />

“Dogs look up to men, cats look down on them, but<br />

Are Erasers a Mistake?<br />
“Eberhard Faber was the first company to put erasers<br />
on pencils. The idea caught on in the United States<br />
immediately, but it has never caught on in Europe.<br />
Europeans claim they shun erasers because they<br />
encourage schoolchildren to be careless. Students<br />
(and just about everyone else in Europe) use separate<br />
erasers.”<br />

“$1,000,000 - the estimated price that a gold medal<br />
won by Jesse Owens at the 1936 Olympics is expected<br />
to fetch when its auction closes on Dec. 7.”<br />

“No statement about God is simply,<br />
literally true. God is far more than<br />
can be measured, described, defined<br />
in ordinary language, or pinned down<br />
to any particular happening.”<br />
