2. 29 Days until the team start of RAAM.
3. Billiard balls used to be made of ivory. Only three ball could be manufactured from a single elephant tusk. The popularity of billiards in the mid/late 1800's is a primary contributor to elephant extinction.
4. If you have to shop with your daughter for her underwear, wear a hulk mask found in the kids department, select random undergarments and yell, "BRA SMASH!" - this will draw less attention to her so she can make her choices in private.

6. Buns made of french fries are a thing.
7. Scientists believe that names of people are arbitrary and hold no specific information in them. This makes it difficult for your brain to justify remembering them. I thought it was something else. #WhatsHisFace
