Only in America

No one asked me a question today, so I must resort to providing you with some unsolicited facts.

I'm sure that some of these facts are so strange and incredible, you will sit in awe and silently wonder right outloud, "could these honestly be true?"

Who says no two snowflakes are alike? A snowflake found in Denver, Colorado in 1979, by Henry Togg was EXACTLY like a snowflake found by his grandfather in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1907.

Freaky Nature: A wild South American variety of marijuana was found growing in a plastic pot inside a double-locked closet on the 52nd floor of an exclusive high-rise apartment in New York City.

Times Two: Levy Heladei, Beloxi, Mississippi, received his late grandfather's Boliva wristwatch in 1963. It stopped working exactly sometime the following year, yet it has mysteriously shown the correct time (5:34) twice a day, ever since.

Italian Waiter: A large pepperoni and green pepper pizza ordered "to-go" from Antonio's Italian Villa, on Chicago's far-east side, more than 13 years ago, STILL HAS NOT BEEN PICKED UP.

Third Degree: A pair of pants worn by M.I.T. geometry professor Dr. Horatio B. Tutuwon, has a small tear on the left buttocks that is in the shape of perfect isosceles triangle.

A Mother's Place: In Fargo, North Dakota, every single resident of Norwegian ancestry has a mother who had parents with at least one daughter.

Single Mint: In 1996, Gumbolt "Gummy" Rapper, Baton Rouge, Lousiana, received a stick of Wrigley's Doublemint gum, and discovered it only contained a single pleasurable flavor and was only fun, once.

Pedaflop: In Towanda, Illinois, Kenny Abaker built a unicycle with only one pedal. To date, he has only been able to ride it for a very short distance, but intends to keep practicing.

Now, let's send in some more questions, my friends.
