Piranhas!

I am sitting looking at my buddy Tom's piranhas. According to Animal Planet, there are between 30 and 40 species of piranha, and not all are strictly carnivorous. In fact, some consume large quantities of seeds.

Cars

So a friend just asked me where to find the serial number on a car. In honor of the wonderful machines we drive in every day, here are a few facts...

- The first cars did not have steering wheels. Drivers steered with a lever.
- The New York City Police Department used bicycles to pursue speeding motorists in 1898.
- The first speeding ticket was issued in 1902.
- Most American car horns beep in the key of F.

SCHOOL STARTS!

First day of school today! Here we go..! Wisconsin visitors and residents enjoy the state's 7,446 streams and rivers. End-to-end they'd stretch 26,767 miles. That is more than enough to circle the globe at the equator.
