The "Great Tornado" of 1925 still holds the record. It's estimated that the tornado stayed on the ground for 219 miles and over 2 1/2 hours, affecting 3 different states and leaving ruin in the aftermath.
Horses can't vomit and pigs can't look up in the sky.
The national anthem of Greece has 158 verses. (Whew! I'm glad I don't have to sing that at every ball game!)
The state with the longest coastline in the U.S. is Michigan. (I didn't believe it either.)
A large swarm of locusts can eat 80,000 tons of corn per day.
If the sun stopped shining suddenly, it would take eight minutes for people on earth to be aware of it.
The setting sun is redder than the rising sun because the air at the end of the day is generally dustier than it is in the beginning of the day.
Fluorescent lights are much cooler than incandescent bulbs. Consider using those in the hot summer months.
Use Listerine as a spray to ward off mosquitoes by putting some in a spray bottle and spraying it on your deck, seating, etc.

Wow if Listerine works like that it makes you wonder what it's doing in your mouth!
Interesting stuff, Judy. I can't wait to try the Listerine thing !
Interesting about the setting sun.
When I nursed in Manchester aeons ago, we use to get such blood red sun sets. In those days Manchester was one of the dirtiest places on earth. I wonder if it has changed?
Now I know why pigs aren't into astronomical--suppose they always have their stout in the trough.
I knew a couple of these but Listerine for skeeters is a new one on me that I want to try!!!! Thanks!!!!!!
I think Michigan might have the longest "Shoreline" because of the many lakes they have. But, I don't think they have any "Coastline" at all.
Don't you have to be on the Ocean to have a coastline?
Maybe somebody will write in that really knows about these things. It is such an interesting subject.
You always have good "Food for Thought",Judy....
I knew about the horses but the rest were new. I understand the Listerine thing. It repels me. Nasty stuff.
That 8-minute sunshine thing is disturbing.
Horses can't vomit? That settles it. Next time I need a pet, I'm getting a horse. No more hairballs!
Michigan? Honestly?
Haven't seen a decent, really red sunset for years. Its these Clean Air Acts we have everywhere - no dust and grime now.
And yes, Manchester is a lot cleaner!
I am going to try the Listerine thing!!!! The mosquitoes are horrid again this year already. I had always heard that if you used Avon's Skin So Soft on your exposed skin that that too would repel them.
Very interesting.
