Here's a fact today is my daughter's 12th Birthday

..........that`s not a useless fact.....tell that sweetie HAPPY B-DAY

Forgot one...

The grave of country great Patsy Cline is located right near a major highway but there is no fence between the road and her grave so really anyone can visit her grave at anytime, day or night as there are no security gurads there, not too mention a car can drive on top of her grave in the dark and not even know it.

Also another country singer is buried right next to Patsy. Al Hogan !! Like Patsy he died young too ( in his 30s ) after suffering a heart attack while doing his version of Chubby Checker's The Twist on stage at a local county fair in 1986.

Kermit the Frog is left handed.

Today Japan executed 3 death row criminals. Unlike the US, the government makes no announcement until the executions have been carried through.

One of the guys who bit it today was Tsutomu Miyazaki, who tortured and killed several little girls back in 1988.
