I used to love that song (and I actually still do) and used to listen to it year round... not just holidays.

Someone shipped some Maine lobster to a friend. Later the friend was called to inquire how the lobster was liked. The friend said he was very disappointed - the lobster had spoiled and had to be thrown away. It was all GREEN. Apparently the friend thought lobster was always red in color.

It takes a lobster approximately seven years to grow to be one pound.

Ninety-nine percent of all lobsters die a few weeks after hatching. In fact, the odds are 10,000 to 1 against any larval lobster living long enough to end up as a lobster dinner.

Mrkinne.net says so...

My physics teacher in High School was known as "Doc" Banning. He was an excellent teacher, but had little patience for those who did not want to learn. He let it be known that if you didn't want to learn and participate in class, to just lay your head down on the work bench, and remain quiet, and you'd get your "C" grade. But you had to work for a "B" or "A."

I have only ever had one job interview.
I am 34 and i have had 4 jobs since age 15, now that I may need to get a new job something tells me the blessing is turning into a curse.

Oh Fact everone was sleeepy yesterday or most of you. But not from magic turkey.


There's reportedly good Thanksgiving news for turkey lovers: Contrary to popular belief, tryptophan in turkey doesn't cause drowsiness.
In fact, scientists told National Geographic News the substance could possibly aid in the treatment of depression and multiple sclerosis.

Purified tryptophan is a mild sleep-inducing agent and that probably led to the idea that foods containing heavy doses of the chemical cause drowsiness.

But tryptophan can't function well as part of a meal.

"Tryptophan is taken to the brain by an active transport system shared by a number of other amino acids and there's competition among them -- like a crowd of people trying to get through a revolving door," Simon Young, a neurochemist at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, told National Geographic News.

He said consuming tryptophan-rich foods may cause blood levels of the amino acid to rise, but not enough tryptophan will reach one's brain to have a sedative affect.

And, scientists told NGN, turkey isn't even unusually high in tryptophan. Many other foods, such as beef or soybeans, have higher concentrations.

"Calf fries" were supposedly very popular in the "old west."
