Andrea BB's 1,000 posts commemorative thread

Colleens_Husband · 06-23-2009, 07:13 AM

Andrea, belated thanks and kudos for being a pillar of our community. Andrea has demonstrated her commitment to the HER2 community by making over 1,000 posts. Congratulations! And they aren't like most of my posts which go something like this:

Sturdy -----> Studly

No sir! She uses complete sentences with vowels and prepositions and everything else.

Anyways, when I think of Andrea two things come to mind. Yes, eyebrows and the name Spike. I was going to add shipwrecks but I know she isn't into that, so I will once again show my incredible restraint and not even mention it.

This thread is like the junk drawer in the kitchen where you throw almost everything when you don't know where else to put it.

If you have a truly useless fact roaming around in your head, and you have no use for it, place it here and maybe someday, someone will have a use for it.

My useless fact:

It is better to clean your emeralds in cold water rather than lukewarm water.

Let's see what other useless facts, let's hear from you.

Big Love to Andrea,

Spike

Another useless fact:

Priorities.

A hockey player first wore a jockstrap in a game in 1874.

A hockey player first wore a helmet in a game in 1974.

Another useless fact.

The word 'stone' is unique in the English language in the way it is used in plural.

A single stone is a 'stone'.

Two to five are called 'stones'.

More than five are called 'stone'.

You never know when that fact could save your life, until that time arrives, it's off to the junk drawer.

If you take any number, double it, add 10, divide by 2, and subtract your original number, the answer will always be 5.

Sharks don't like magnets. That may explain why they are rarely seen around my refrigerator.

The last words of General John Sedgwick, a Union Commander during the Civil War:

"They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist........."

Apparently, they could.

Oscar Wilde's last words:

"Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."

Oscar went. No word on the wallpaper.

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first class.

Ancient Egyptians shaved off their eyebrows to mourn the death of their cats.

On April 4th, 1964, The Beatles held the top five spots on the Billboard singles chart. That was the first and only time that happened.

A question to all of you, what were the five songs?

This is a funny commemorative thread for Andi. Quite the opposite of her with all her words of wisdom~!

Ok....let me think of one....

a tomato is really a fruit
(I just made that one up. Not sure if it is true, but I think it is...)

In 1995 over 10 million people voted to add blue M & Ms to the mix.

You're right Harrie ... but I don't think Spike had that in mind ... Spike????

Actually, since AndiBB is a writer, this info may come in handy .... if
she ever needs some "fillers" ... which I doubt because Andi doesn't ever
run out of words ... I'm just saying ....

There is a place in Maryland called Monkey's Eyebrow

AndiBB! You go, girl!!!! I've been chomping at the bit to play this game. Here goes- If you ask someone to perform a math problem unexpectedly, in their head, they always look up. (I think up and to the left). If you hit them with another problem, and tell them to look down as they do the "mental math", they can't do it. With most people, that is.

Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes and yet our government still doesn't have a Donkey Regulatory Commission. What are they using all those tax dolars for?

The Mona Lisa once had eyebrows as well as eyelashes, but due to repeated restoration projects, they are no longer visible.
