Random Me on Monday

It's hot. It's dry. I'm stressed to the max about any number of things that seem important right now, but probably won't next month. All of this is to say I could not think of anything I wanted to blog about today. Until I took a break and read a magazine. And, guess what? I found stuff I wanted to share.

Totally Random and Almost Useless Facts:



A group of jellyfish is called a "smack."A large river hippo can open its mouth wide enough to fit a four-foot child.The life span of a taste bud is about 10 days.Dixon Ticonderoga Company produces approximately .5 billion pencils annually.It took 101 days for the Pilgrims to sail from Southhampton, England to Plymouth, Mass in 1620.******

Psyche: 


I seldom do any reviews of TV anything, but I discovered a show called Psych that actually made me laugh. It's on Netflix (I gave up on TV years ago), so you've probably seen it and forgotten you did. If you missed it, give it a try. Dule Hill and James Roday are a riot together. And Corbin Bernsen is his usual "interesting" self in the role of Dad.
