Prowler Keith - can you verify that on your $2 Canadian bill, the American flag is shown flying over the Parliament building. I trust Al, just would like that to be verified.

Sam Kinnison was an ordained minister as well. My golf balls have 334 dimples. You say sharks can blink both eyes, and fish can't - regular fish have no eye lids. A humming bird flys every second from birth to three years old, before landing and stopping its wing movement. I have too much time on my hands

I read about corn dust when I was about 10. I put some cornstarch into a trash can and shook it. When I threw in a match it went off with a tower of flame 10 feet high. Many times I thank the Good Lord I'm still here.

Of course I knew that, growing up and attending the University of Nebraska. The Big Red (CORNHUSKERS) have always been one of the most explosive things in the football world, just ask those Texans and Okies!!!

Larry - that's RAISE not RACE, although they did use to race them at the state fair fifty years ago (45 MPH top speed for up to half hour - on grass for fuel!)

Was pretty good $$$ in early 90's but market went flat.
