Yellow People

Ever wonder why the Simpsons are yellow? It's because when Matt Groening created the Simpsons (when there were still TV's that had a color adjustment knob) he wanted people to think their TV was off color so then would get up and change it, little did they know that they were supposed to be yellow. 

Facts from Andy

Geothermic is the most expensive type of heating and it uses brake fluid (anti freeze)

The enemies of Pac-Man are known as ghosts or monsters. Their movements are actually programed into the game (even though they seem random) for example: the orange ghost "Clyde" actually moves toward the lower left of the game board if Pac-Man is facing a certain way. They are programed this way so that the game doesn't become boring. 

here are what the other ghosts do in the game:

the red ghost "Blinky" or "Shadow" is a chaser
the pink ghost "Pinky" or "Speedy" is an ambusher
the cyan ghost "Inky" or "Bashful" is very fickle
and the orange ghost "Clyde" or "Pokey" is said to be stupid and slow.

Mmm Doughnuts...

Doughnuts have been around for centuries. Archaeologists turned up several fried cakes with holes in the centre in prehistoric ruins in the Southwestern United States. Because it is difficult to know how people made doughnuts just by a fossil historians began to discuss what they thouught the history of doughnuts was.
At this time doughnuts were known as olykoeks, or oily cakes, and it's primarily the Dutch who are credited with taking sweet dough balls and frying them in pork fat.
