RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

4/11/2017

DID YOU KNOW THAT . . .

. . . most spiders have eight eyes?  Here's looking at you.

. . . President Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated quite a number of justices to the Supreme Court?  Of course you did.  But did you know that one never went to law school (Felix Frankfurter) and another was a KKK member (Hugo Black).  Despite this, the country survived - and even passed significant civil rights legislation with both on the court.

. . . Batman has no superpowers?  How could he be a superhero?

. . . Quillagua is the driest place on Earth?  It is an oasis in Northern Chile and has an average rainfall of .002 inches per year.  You call that an oasis?

. . . Chrysler Corporation, which was founded in 1925, became Daimler Chrysler in 1998 and Chrysler LLC in 2007 and Chrysler Group in 2009 and Fiat Chrysler in 2014?  Since Fiat took over in 2009, Chrysler has increased auto sales each year.

. . . Hippos can run faster than humans?  Yes, about 18 mph.

. . . in 2007, Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, made the most expensive single-building property purchase in U.S. history - acquiring 666 Fifth Avenue NYC for $1.8 billion?  I didn't!
