    The Tokyo World Lanes Bowling Center is the largest bowling establishment in the world. It has 252 lanes and one very tired pinsetter. The World's Largest Catsup Bottle stands proudly next to Route 159, just south of downtown Collinsville, Illinois. This unique 170 ft. tall water tower was built in 1949 by W.E. Caldwell Company for the G.S. Suppiger catsup bottling plant. In 1995, due to the efforts of the Catsup Bottle Preservation Group, this piece of local history was saved from demolition and beautifully restored to its original appearance. The longest Monopoly game ever played was 1,680 hours long, that's 70 straight days! The longest Monopoly game in a bathtub was 99 hours long. The highest wind velocity ever recorded in the United States was 231 miles per hour, on Mount Washington, New Hampshire, in 1934. Howard Kinsey and Mrs. R. Roark, during a game of tennis, batted the ball back and forth 2001 consecutive times. The World's Largest yo-yo resides in the National Yo-Yo Museum in Chico, California. Named "Big Yo," the 256-pound yo-yo is an exact scale replica of a Tom Kuhn "No Jive 3 in 1 Yo-Yo." Fifty inches tall and 31.5 inches wide, the yo-yo is made of California sugar pine, Baltic birch from the former USSR, and hardrock maple. It was first launched in San Francisco on October 13, 1979. Victor Hugo's Les Miserables contains one of the longest sentences in the French language—823 words without a period. The largest web-footed bird is the albatross. On July 31, 1994, Simon Sang Sung of Singapore turned a single piece of dough into 8,192 noodles in 59.29 seconds! At 12 years old, an African named Ernest Loftus made his first entry in his diary and continued everyday for 91 years. Toronto, Ontario was home to the biggest swimming pool in the world in 1925. It held 2000 swimmers, and was 300ft x 75ft. It is still in operation. In 1968, Steve McPeak traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles on a unicycle. The trip took him six weeks, but he planned for the long bike journey. He brought an extra tire and a spare heinie.

    The only nation whose name begins with an "A", but doesn't end in an "A" is Afghanistan. The Average American/Canadian drinks about 600 soda’s per year. The average American family views television six hours each day. Your statistical chance of being murdered is one in twenty thousand. If you earn twenty thousand dollars a year, one minute of your time is worth a little more than seventeen cents. As much as six percent of the world's population may experience sleep paralysis, the inability to move and speak for several minutes after awakening. Phobophobia is a fear of fearing. Clinophobia is the fear of beds. Caligynephobia is a fear of beautiful women. Androphobia is a fear of men. Augustus Caesar had achluophobia—the fear of sitting in the dark. "Evian" spelled backwards is naive. There are six words in the English language with the letter combination "uu." Muumuu, vacuum, continuum, duumvirate, duumvir and residuum. The writers of The Simpsons have never revealed what state Springfield is in. Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants. Burger King® uses approximately 1/2 million pounds of bacon every month in its restaurants. The fortune cookie was invented in 1916 by George Jung, a Los Angeles noodlemaker. An apple, onion, and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavor are caused by their smell. To prove this - pinch your nose and take a bite from each. They will all taste sweet. Table salt is the only commodity that hasn’t risen dramatically in price in the last 150 years. The Chinese used to open shrimp by flaying the shells with bamboo poles. Until a few years ago, in factories where dried shrimp were being prepared, "shrimp dancers" were hired to tramp on the shells with special shoes. For decades, there's been a hard-fought and usually close battle between Coke and Pepsi in the United States...with each claiming some regional pockets of leadership. But globally it's no contest - Coca-Cola sales far outstrip sales of Pepsi-Cola internationally. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Americans eat more than 22 pounds of tomatoes every year. More than half this amount is eaten in the form of ketchup and tomato sauce. No one seems to know why people blush. Between 25% to 33% of the population sneeze when they are exposed to light. Sumerians (from 5000 BC) thought that the liver made blood and the heart was the center of thought. Men have more blood than women. Men have 1.5 gallons for men versus 0.875 gallons for women. In 1977, a 13 year old child found a tooth growing out of his left foot. It takes an interaction of 72 different muscles to produce human speech. During his or her lifetime, the average human will grow 590 miles of hair. Your thumb is the same length as your nose.

    Whom Would You Rescue?

    Here are some facts about this test. It is suggested often to students and those who apply for a job in big companies. The main reason is said to check if a person is able to feel oneself responsible for the destiny of humans or not. Otherwise can he decide who should live and who should die? Many people refused to give any answers to this test for the reason that it is too unhuman. Anyhow I'll give my variant of those whom I wouldn't take to the island a little bit later.

    Whom Would You Rescue?

    John McDonnal is out. I don't need firefighters in a small island plus I have to make room for myself! But don't forget he has a pregnant wife!!! But lool it didn't occur to me that I will have to fly too.
  13. Here is a puzzle to solve: Imagine a situation that a meteorite will fall on our planet and all the continents and countries will be destroyed and only one single little uninhabited island will be saved. A special commision has chosen 12 people who will be moved to that island, live there and develop mankind. In the airport it turns out that the airplane can afford only 9 of them. You should choose those 3 people who won't leave and sure they'll die. Whom you will not take on board and why? 1. Dr. Yan Osborne (male, 40 years old), Britich academician from London. A very good diplomat, helped to settle many conflicts aroun the world. 2. Francheska Chepo (female, 39). Linguist, translater. Speaks 20 languages. 3. John McDonnal (male, 33 years old). Fireman from New-York. The one who survived in his detachment during the teracts on September 11. 4. Dr. Hamed Bedruni (male,36). Doctor from Paris. Leader of the muslam community of Paris. 5. William Petwin (male, 54). Worked for a avery long time with a tribe on an island like this one. Knows the flora and fauna of the island. Has a knife and a spear. Has a cancer. 6. Jene Beyns (female, 32). Bilogist from India. Knows well the local fauna and fish. An alcoholic. 7. Show Lukas (male, 35). Officer of British army. Has an ability to survive in extreme situations. Homosexual. 8. Kristina McDonnal (female, 31). John McDonnald's (fireman) wife. A police officer and has a pistol. She is pregnant on her third month. 9. Robert Sisulu (male, 41). A black judge from SAR. A good hunter, has a gun. 10. Father Iegunio (male, 26). A Catolic priest from Spain. He is very doog at agriculture. Worked as a missioner with tribes of Oceania. 11. Nikol Bushar (female, 23). A top-model from Paris. 12. Amanda Green (female, 24). Telecommunication engeneer from Australia. The winner of "Last Hero". So you have to choose which three of these people will not fly to the island.

  15. Then why am I so worried about being not only beautiful but also kind, smart, accurate, honest, reliable, caring, loving, understanding, interesting, with sense of humor... Oh, your words helped me to relax However I might not agree about money and all this stuff. It is some strenght and power in some people that make us value them. And this power is definitely not in money, but in their ability to understand, love and care about others. And when we see that someone can just do that without trying to get something in change then we begin to treat him as someone who deserves great respect. It's just difficult sometimes to find such people around us.

    Words Of Wisdom

    It is best to remain silent and let one think you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Don't tell me WHAT to do, tell me WHY you think i SHOULD. --Ross Bracco There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart... pursue those. If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man. --Fyodor Dostoyevski

    Armenian Tv

    Well, I won't say anything about the Armenian TV, because I am used to it and I don't mind Russian movies on it though I can understand the fury of those who don't speak Russian. But how great was mu surprise when I first saw the american armenian programs. I couldn't understand anything because they were in West Armenian. Well, I decided to watch programs in East Armenian, but they were even worse: a mix of the two ones plus American accent. Believe me I know for sure that these people can speak Armenian without an American accent. Why do they make themselves ridiculuos?
