For clothing and military vehicles.

First we will have a look at some history of color.

1611 - Finland - The oldest known color system is credited to astronomer, priest and Neoplatonist Aron Sigfrid Forsius (1569-1637). In his color circle , between the colors Black and White, Red has been placed on the one side since the classical antiquity, and Blue on the other; Yellow then comes between White and Red, pale Yellow between White and Yellow, Orange between Yellow and Red.

((HUGS))Good morning, GodblessUSA. How's it going?,p>Well, I'm going to be going to town later this morning too see if Wal-Mart has any dog bones for Bo and Jenny.

They're really having lot of fun out there. I had to bring Jenny in for a few minutes. The truck had some ice on it and it took a few minutes for the ice to thaw.

I tie Bo up when I bring the truck in and out because Bo has a habit of running out the gate if I don't keep up with him.

Speaking of which one of our neighbors dogs got out of the yard yesterday. I brought it to their attention and they put the dog back in.

Good thing too becuase the mai lady was just coming as it happened.

Stuff my "voices" have learned.....

 

A 13-year-old boy in India produced winged beetles in his urine after hatching the eggs in his body. 

In 1982, a cactus in Phoenix, Arizona killed a man. David Grundman fired two shotgun blasts at a giant saguaro cactus that ended up falling on top of him. 

Approximately 75% of human poop is made of water. 

In 1825, the first toilet was installed in the White House. 

In one gram of soil, about ten million bacteria live in it.

In India, a 9-year-old girl was "married" to a stray dog, which tribal custom requires in order to protect a child whose first tooth appears on the upper gum. 

In Japan, by the time man reaches the age of 60, he is commemorated with a special ceremony. This ceremony features the man wearing a red kimono, which denotes that he no longer has the responsibilities of being a mature adult.

In New York City, approximately 1,600 people are bitten by other humans annually. 

In November 1999, two women were killed by a lightning bolt. The underwire located in their bras acted as a electrical conductors, and when the lightning bolt hit the bra they left burn marks on their chest. 

One billion seconds is about 32 years.

A U.S. company came out with a toilet night-light that sends out a green warning beacon when the seat is up. 

The first toilet stall in a public washroom is the least likely to be used. It is also the cleanest.

missing a codec?

???

All the other music played fine.

Good thing you keep an eye on the dogs. It's not good for them to take off.

[GodBlessUSA]

That's great. They are enjoying the winter weather. :) My dog loves the snow too. We had just a dusting and she was running out there like a kid. :)

Good thing you saw their dog. It could have taken a long walk in the cold weather and they would not have been able to find him.

I need to pick up bones for my dog too. She loves them.

[GodBlessUSA]

Hey, are these better than the last glasses? What do you think? :)

[beachn4fun]

LOL

Actually, I liked the other pair.

[beachn4fun]

YO! Grandma. Have you seen PJ yet?

[beachn4fun]

Hey, Ma. You up yet?

[Tanniker Smith]

In New York City, approximately 1,600 people are bitten by other humans annually.

I think that that number is kind of low.
Granted, there haven't been too many bitings in my classes of late . . .

Good Morning Canteen FReepers!

[GodBlessUSA]

What about these?

I hate the ones I'm wearing. They remind me of Alan Colmes. I already have a back up(from a former mistake) of an Alan Colmes pair. LOL

[GodBlessUSA]

Good Morning Darkwing :)

Good morning, dangerous one.

How do you plan on being dangerous today?

[GodBlessUSA]

Hugs!

[beachn4fun]

Now those are Kewl.

Excuse me, Gracie, but you have TWO pair of glasses that remind you of Alan Colmes glasses?

I wonder why that is? You really like the looks of them?
