Today's Trivia

From an AP article entitled "WWF Warns on Man-Made Arctic Toxins" that apparently seeks to outlaw everything Gaia doesn't like:
    Only a tiny fraction of the estimated 30,000 to 70,000 chemicals made worldwide are banned, even though many more may be harmful, the report said.
In related trivia:
  • Of the hundreds of thousands of plants grown in American homes, only a tiny fraction is pot, but many more would stink up your house if you dried them and lit them on fire.

  • Of the millions of cars on American roads, only a tiny percentage will be in accidents, although any of them can be lethal if accelerated to their top speeds and run into unyielding objects.

  • Of the gazillions of gallons of water in the world, only a small amount causes death by inhalation, but all of it is potentially lethal unless you're Kevin Costner's character in Waterworld.

  • Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.
