I KNEW it! Women have higher IQ's! (This may make me sound like a man-hater. I'm really not. Some of my best friends are men!) Running away now...
I'm going to start wishing people a herd of unicorns after they sneeze, and see if anyone catches on.
I love random trivia!
Oooh... I love all of those. I feel smarter now! Thank you! *hugs*
Fascinating!
I wonder who had the thought to inject nutmeg into the bloodstream in the first place.
If a HERD of unicorn is a blessing, then just the sight of ONE must be a friggen pre-miracle to the thought of a blessing...
Must remember #5. I love that kind of stuff.
#7 makes sense, but I'm sure it's not true of all women. Of me, yeah, because I'm the nervous blinky sort.
So. ARE there fairies in Dublin?! Or is this like the Ghostbusters investigation team?
Hee, hee.
Hah! My security word is vzuabug (voo-zooh-uh-bug). How cool is that?
Wow! Interesting stuff mlf, I especially like no. 1 and no. 10 *Shaking my head* in amazement.
