just trying to keep up with my mouth...

  • Bactrian camels have two humps.
  • Polydactyly occurs in about .2% of births, not 5%, which is a little ridiculous, I suppose.
  • On the other hand, breast cancer is more disturbingly common than I thought.
  • Dad bought a Rav-4, which, while slightly ridiculous for a commuter car, is less ridiculous than a Pilot. It is smaller and gets better gas milage.
  • The primary source of sweetness in most fortified wines comes from the grapes in the wine, not from the fortifier; adding the brandy (or whatever) kills off the yeast in the wine, leaving more of the sugars from the grapes.
