Nothing to do all day. Might as well sit here on a bucket, with a cup of water, and write my story in my phone.
Ohio is considered the 17th state. However, Congress neglected to vote on the resolution to admit Ohio until 1953.
Completely useless fact post. In fact, this post is so far beyond useless, useless looks at this post and asks for help in being useless. The useless fact is this is my 150th post, and I put it here.
A "ton of money," literally two thousand pounds of US $100 bills, would be about $90 million. Remember that the next time you have a character show up for a deal with a few millions bucks in a suit case. Each million weighs 20.4 lbs.

Not necessarily an useless fact if you live in California, but Calli is preparing for a nuclear attack/fallout with public announcements like we had in the 60s. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/nuclear-attack-fears-california/

Earplugs and a gas mask or respirator can curb both quite a bit. "Yes, listen...Listen to the sound of raw silence. Is it not serene?" -Konrad Curze- WH40K
Green Eggs and Ham was the product of a bet. Dr. Seuss was bet 50$ he couldn't write a childrens stroy with less than 50 different words.
Margaret Mitchell read library books while recuperating from a car crash(this was pre-seatbelt, mind you). Her husband got tired of running back to the library for more books, so he jokingly told her to try writing one instead. She did. You may have heard of it, it was called Gone With the Wind.
Supposedly, if you pack too many pistachios in a container they can generate enough heat to spontaneously combust.
