    Reason to not carry cash: I heard on Cowherd this morning that the average bill in your wallet has been touched by an average of 600 people before you got it.

    And with the influx of illegal immigrants, it's just about further left, too.

    Hard to believe its Austin, TX. If I drive west from Baton Rouge on I-10 past Houston I have to turn north to get to Austin.

    Alaska is the northermost, westernmost and easternmost state

    No, you have to turn right. And you had been driving west-by-southwest.

    Technically yes, but legally, no. While it is true that the westernmost Aleutian Islands are west of the 180 meridian on the globe and therefore in the Eastern Hemisphere, the International Date Line is bent to include all of Alaska in the last western hemisphere time zone.

    In 1970 Alan Fish was killed when Manny Mota hit a baseball into the crowd at Dodger Stadium-The only person ever to have been killed by a ball hit into the stands even thought an average of 30 such balls are hit in each major league game.

    I don't know how "little known" this is, but it is a fact. Did you know that in Chicago there are these really nice high rise condo's, and if you stay in them you have a really nice view of the other high rise building that is just across the way. They are both on the lake. Well, it just so happens that you can just see right into the other building, very nice apartments. Well, did you also know that the ladies of said building are rather fond of walking around with no clothes on. They also do lots of other things sans pantalones and other garments that would normally be required in public.

    People watching has never been so fun
