Crazy? I was crazy once… Did you know that… The first contraceptive diaphragms - centuries ago - were citrus rinds - i.e.: half an orange rind? A quarter has 119 grooves on its circumference? According to a survey of American mothers of school-age kids, 44 percent of elementary school children prefer a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich packed into their lunchbox. Their second sandwich choice is bologna, at 16 percent? [http://www.uselessknowledge.com](http://www.uselessknowledge.com) is great! * * * “I’m not dumb.
