The Cappucino Corral

[Luddly Neddite]

Was just on the phone with my sister from the USA, she encouraged me to get one of these for my little daughter (well, for the household):

Elf on the Shelf.

Hmmmmm.....

Somewhere, someone posted a thread about these.

Don't know who or where.

I don't think they look very appealing.

Good Morning, Cappucinistas of the World! I hope you all humped well on Humpday, yesterday. Today is the mighty hammer day, Thor's day, so, hammer away!!

I agree. Why bother with cheap imitations-- give her some real food for thought and imagination.

Meanwhile...

I thought they liked men who carry a big stick.

Evening guys and gals! I hope is having a wonderful day. I am about to spend my evening playing the board games we received during our friend gift exchange.

Some trivia ...

The human tooth has about 55 miles of canals in it.

Socrates, 400 BCE said -
"Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food, and tyrannize their teachers. I despair for their future."

The word "robot" comes from the Czechoslovakian word robotovat which means "to work hard". It was created by Karel Capek.

A hailstone containing a carp once fell in Essen, Germany.

Well, did you know:

There are more than 150 species of owls in the world, and some counts indicate more than 220 species depending on how different owls are classified. Only 19 owl species are found in North America.

Looking to spread a little joy and peace around the day before the twelve days of Christmas. Any takers?

Well, did you know:

There are more than 150 species of owls in the world, and some counts indicate more than 220 species depending on how different owls are classified. Only 19 owl species are found in North America.

And - there are two families of owls -
True owls and barn owls.

An interesting factoid is that a barn owl can eat more than 11K mice in his life. Most raptors lay only about 3 eggs every year but barn owls can lay many more. For every rodent the male takes to his life-long mate, he gets to mate with her. So, he will take her a lot of dead rodents!

All raptors save us money at the grocery store because of the enormous amount of rodents they eat. Those rodents foul our grain and other food stores.

And, under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, all raptors are protected by federal law, as are about 83% of our bird species. This is why I have to carry federal permits for the raptors I rehab or use for education.

Its illegal to have/keep eagle feathers. The National Eagle Repository in Denver keeps and distributes feathers for such things as Native American use. Imagine opening their mail every day ...

Good morning, Cappucinistas of the world, and a good, hearty TGIF to you. Hard to believe, but in two weeks from today, it will already be the second day of Christmas.

Have the best Christmas ever Luddly!

That is the most ECLECTIC collection of trivia I have EVER read!


Awesome!
