Yahoo!!! New trivia gang. Interesting fact about the male swan. How do other birds fertilize their eggs, I wonder. Also enjoyed the fact about James Parks. In fact, I enjoyed all of these facts. Thanks admin for keeping your site interesting.

Honey never spoils? Come to think of it I’ve never seen an expiration date on a jar or container of honey. Learned a few facts here today.

Gail, come to think of it, you’re right. Mmm! Very interesting. I found the fact on the bloodhound intriguing. I knew they were good trackers but didn’t realize their testimony was legal.

I would love to visit the diamond field in Arkansas. I’ve heard that diamonds sometimes work their way to the top of the earth and that there are many diamonds found there. Maybe one day.
