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.

Two of my favorite things

The game of 16-inch softball, which is played without gloves, was invented in Chicago.
