2. On a baby, the belly button is exactly midway from the top of his head to the bottom of his foot.
3. Keeping to the theme of babies, more babies are born in the month of September than any other month.
4. Two dogs were hanged at the Salem witch trials
5. Ketchup was once sold as a medicine
6. According to Guinness the longest bout of hiccups was 65 years (that's got to hurt)
7. 46% of all television violence happens in cartoons. (must be coyote and roadrunner)
   
8. Al Capone's older brother was a policeman in Nebraska
9. 20% of all potatoes in the US will end up as fries
10. Farthest distance a pumpkin has been hurled without the aid of explosives: 3178 feet. Hum just have to wonder about the people that have nothing better to do than hurl pumpkins... must be like us bloggers living in a twilight world of irreality. ;o)
