Random Fact #10

Brian — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:37:58 +0000

I haven’t done one of these in a while so I thought this would be appropriate. Did you know that:

If you Google “brian casey” blog that my website shows up first in the search (as of this post, anyway).

How did I find this out? Let me tell you. I was trying to figure out how people might be able to search for my blog via Google. I was trying several things and not coming up with much. If you search for superbrian it is the first item on the list. This is the only search I had found before that picked my site up quickly. Today I tried the above search and my site came up first in the list. I just think this is interesting. That’s all. You may go back to your lives, citizens.

Random (possibly made up) Fact (statement) #9

Brian — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 17:04:04 +0000

Did you know…

Every year about 98% of the atoms in your body are replaced.

This brings a whole new meaning to “reinventing yourself” or “a new you”. I have always wondered if this was the case. I guess you could truly tell someone you hadn’t seen in more than a year, “you are a totally different person. I don’t even know you anymore”. If this is true then I wonder if the atoms replaced include the atoms in your brain and if so how do we remember anything for more than a year? I guess the atoms on their way out could tell the new atoms everything they know. What if something was lost in translation? Would we know? I guess not.

Random (possibly made up) Fact (statement) #8

Brian — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:32:36 +0000

Well, I haven’t done a random fact in a while and I am sure you are all greatly missing it. Not to mention they are great space fillers in that they allow me to update my site with content that didn’t cost me much brain power. Before I get to the real reason for being here, I will throw out another random fact: This post make one hundred and sixty posts that I have written here. Who would have thought when I started this that I would get there. Not me. Sorry for the diversion. On with the show!

Did you know that…

In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator.

I wonder if those little step counters from McDonald’s could keep up with that. If that is the average person how far does the person that runs or walks for exercise go? I wonder sometimes how they figure things like this out or if it is just made up. Maybe I should have called this post ”Random (possibly made up) Fact (statement) #8″. I think I will. Wow, that was kind of like time travel. You read the title of the post first only to find out that I decided to change it at the end of the post. That was a random thought deserving of a new “Random Thoughts” category. Until next time.

I haven’t posted a random fact in a long while so here is one for your reading pleasure. Did you know that….

The King Ranch in Texas is bigger than the state of Rhode Island.

They aren’t kidding when they say that everything is bigger in Texas. And to think they get the same number of Senators .

Random Fact #6

Did you know that….

….People in parts of Western China put salt in their tea instead of sugar.

This is gross. I am a sugar lover. I will eat or drink pretty much anything with sugar in it with the exception of tea. This is even worse. “Yes, I would like some salty tea please.” Yuck!

Random Fact #4

Did you know that…..

The Bible is the most-shoplifted book in the world.

I guess this makes statistical sense because the Bible happens to be the most printed book in the world too. The Word of God goes forth even this way too.

Did you know…..

……that in Tibet it is considered good manners to stick out your tongue at someone?

This is just funny. I have an idea. Let’s start a sticking-your-tongue-out-at-people revolution. So next time someone gives you a compliment, stick your tongue out at them and see how they respond.

Random Fact #1

Brian — Fri, 23 Sep 2005 05:27:35 +0000

This is going to be a brand new addition to my blog. When I find some interesting but random fact I will post it here for your reading pleasure and so you can impress your friends.

So…….my first random fact.

I did not realize this, but, in a one year time period the cost of political campaigning for all politicians combined ends up being about $1 billion per year. That is a whole lot of money!! One year!! Here is the kicker though: that is the same amount of money that we Americans spend on chewing gum in one year!
