Paul Winchell?

THIS is freaky! This year we will experience 4 unusual dates....
1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 .... NOW go figure this out.... take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year and it WILL EQUAL TO 111 This is freaky!

Not that freaky. Doing the same last year, would give you 110 and the year before would be 109 and so on. It's just that this year being 2011, gives you all the 1's, but it will be the same result for everyone no matter what the year is. Try it and see if I'm right!

The new iPad version of Scrabble does
not allow the words "nazi" or "rape".
But "c**t" is fine.

Just how big is Wal-Mart?

Read the yellow highlights at the end...OMG.. this should really boggle your mind..
the joke about the sign on the moon saying 'Wal-Mart's coming soon" could well be true!!!
This should boggle your mind!!

8. During this same period, 31 Supermarket chains sought bankruptcy.

9. Wal-Mart now sells more food than any other store in the world.

10. Wal-Mart has approx 3,900 stores in the USA of which 1,906 are Super Centers ; this is 1,000 more than it had 5 years ago.

ALL the insurance moneys go to the companies. I.e. An employee making $18,000 per year, dies, and the company might make
