   This will confuse a lot of people: Give them $3.09 for a bill that is $2.84. This happened twice to me in a short period of time (many years ago). First time they rang it up and smirked when they realized it was a quarter. Second time they rang up $3, gave me 16 cents back plus my original 9 cents.

   Pleading the fifth is not an admission of guilt.

   I’ve heard the distressed animal theory, which I suspect it is true. Though for my dog she just loves anything that makes noise. She got hold of an empty can of soda, and loved chewing on it, because of the loud noises it would make. She likes taking her heavy toys and dropping them to hear them bounce.

   1997 I was a Junior in university in the Boston area. On April 1st we had a blizzard. They announced on campus radio, which was run by students, that the University was closed. In the entire time I had been going there they never closed the school, and we had had worse snow storms. No one knew if this was an April Fools joke or not. The reason the school close this time, was the City of Boston, had already put all their snow plows in storage for the winter, and they couldn’t get the storage doors open because of the snow. So the city was closed until they could get approval to hire a snow plow to plow out their plows. This was announced on campus Radio too, and it seemed too implausible to believe. Eventually the news on TV confirmed that the city of Boston was closed.

   One of my suitemates went to the campus library, to do research for a paper. He came back a few hours later to inform us that the library had been unlocked, but he was the only one there. No one working and no students. He said it was rather spooky being there.

   Never talk crap about someone’s ex (or soon to be ex) until you are positive there is no chance of them getting back together

   I’m just thinking of all the depictions of sea serpents attacking ships, where their heads are out of the water for long periods of time. Though they just might be holding their breaths for a long time.I also read a lot fantasy books. Some have them coming on to the land for short periods, some have them talking to people, some have them flying, some have them roaring as they attack ships. Ever author has their own slant on mythological creatures.

   Dragons would traditionally be reptiles. Usually breathing in water extinguishes their flames (sometimes killing them in the process)Their cousins, Sea Serpents, would be amphibians.
