Does the US Post Office Really Use Mules?
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/128fs318181.gif
The US Post Office really uses mules to deliver items to the
Havasupai Indians, who live at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in
Arizona. A train of mules is used to transport mail, along with
food, supplies, and even furniture, down an 8 mile (12.87 km)
trail to the base of the Grand Canyon. The daily deliveries to
the Havasupai Indians weigh around 4,000 pounds (1814.37 kg),
with an individual mule being able to carry 130 pounds (58.97
kg) at a time. The nearest Post Office location to the Havasupai
Indians is in Peach Springs, Arizona and contains walk-in
freezers to hold the food for delivery.

More about the US Postal Service:
•There is no way to access the Point Roberts, WA Post Office by
land in the US—it requires driving through British Columbia,
Canada or else by boat.
•The Post Office Stamp Fulfillment Center in Kansas City,
Missouri is actually located 150 feet (45.72 m) underground in
order to provide the right moisture levels for preserving the
stamps. :o
•Ships on the Detroit River in Michigan have their own mail boat
that delivers to them on the water, and it even has its own zip
code.

Does Russia have a greater Surface Area than Pluto? ???

PLUTO?
HTML http://www.pic4ever.com/images/128fs318181.gif
Russia is the largest country on Earth and actually does have a
greater surface area than Pluto, which is a main reason why it
was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. The surface area of
Russia is approximately 6.6 million square miles (17 million sq
km), while Pluto’s surface area is 6.4 million square miles
(16.7 million sq km). The country has a population of
approximately 142 million people.
Nearly three-quarters of Russians live in cities, leaving the
vast amount of the country’s significant surface area hardly
populated due to its harsh cold climates and being mostly
covered with trees.

Lake Baikal has a LOT of water!
•Russia contains one-fifth of the world’s total forests. It also
is home to the deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal with a
depth of 5,387 feet (1,641.96 m), which contains one-fifth of
the world’s supply of fresh water. :o
•All of Russia’s combined pipelines, such as for gas and oil
water, would theoretically be able to circle the Earth six
times. :P
•There are nine different time zones that stretch across two
continents in Russia, the most of any country in the world.

Is It True That Atoms Are Mostly Empty Space?
It is true that atoms are mostly empty space. In fact, if all of
the space from the body’s atoms were eliminated, the leftover
result would be so tiny, the body could fit into an opening that
is less than 1/500th of a centimeter -- or the point of a pin.
;D Although atoms are small and comprised of empty space, they
are numerous; the average adult human body is estimated to
contain 7 octillion (or 7 followed by 27 zeros) individual
atoms. Each atom is believed to contain material that was
created billions of years ago. For instance, hydrogen is thought
to be nearly 14 billion years old, and oxygen was thought to be
created about 12 billion years ago.
More about the structure of the human body:
•The human body is thought to contain 10 times more bacterial
cells than actual cells that form the body.

•60% of the human body is comprised of water, which contains
hydrogen and oxygen molecules.
•Although the brain makes up just 2% of the total human body, it
requires at least 20% of the body’s entire oxygen supply.

[center][font=times new roman]Collective Sorrow [/font][/center]
by Alfred Lehmberg
[quote]I write to make a music of the sort that won't pretend
what the errors of our past produce... today. All the terror
raining bombs, insulted Arabs—wounded Jews... all the hate
that's running rampant while faux *Christians* hold their sway.
Still, the saucers slither in the blackness if in sight, and we
cower in indifference to pretend that wrong is right. To wit?
The least of us are sacrificed to pad rich feathered halls with
pumped up teats of trophy wives oblivious to all...
We tear our eyes from lights that fly. We laugh and smirk and
don't ask why. We're mired in mistakes so plain, mistakes so
senseless, cruel—insane.
Make some man a public figure, think him... somehow... better,
bigger! Place him on your pedestal—too soon held up for
ridicule. Listen to his radio. Hit his site. He's getting bold
(?)—then cast him out you fickle bitch! You whining... puling...
fawning snitch!
It all comes down to us at last. It's what we catch in nets we
cast. But them! So safe (and in position), spewing Right-Wing
impositions. Wrapped in their convenience—proud! ...And at the
suffering? Laugh out loud!
The truth is ravaged—used, abused! Tormented! Savaged!
Depressed! Confused!
From where would come your laughter, then? You're not a clueless
JERK, my friend... Truth comes clean if it's but faced, though
most will not to earn disgrace.
Conspiracy's alive and stark! Insidious and plainly dark, it
thrives too well in quick denial—is nurtured in conniving guile.
It preens itself in our distraction and grows too bold in our
inaction!
...I AGREE the water's filthy, but save the baby—could we? Will
we?
We're mushrooms to the non-elected. We're in the dark, fed
crap—detective! We don't have a wit or clue... clear evidence of
said abuse. Faith and trust is just pretended, crass betrayal,
instead, extended!
Nothing's as it must appear if first drawn through ones lens of
fear...
You say that's false, but then stop looking... blinded to their
looting—rooking! It's like we *know* and just don't care,
contributing to angst still there! ...And in your bubble thought
secure... you rationalize these lies—absurd!
Hidden in this churning madness, caught up in elitist gladness
are the truths that we would have if we would cop to what we've
said. Hallowed *treaties* now deplored, around five hundred,
*slightly* more—ripped apart by "Uncle Sam" to fill the vaults
of shadow men? Fixing prices, built-in failure, planning for a
short-term's nadir, building walls to hide behind for
"insulation's" sake, one finds!
Knowledge IS the power, friend, explaining schools that just
*pretend*. Autonomy is what we're missing, then *teams* have
power beyond dismissing, but THAT is what "the man" must fear
(above all else) it so appears.
Flying in the skies like crickets, *somewhere*, it has been
admitted, are reflections of ourselves who look and wonder for
themselves! But they're not here 'cause we're not there (?), our
science says... but oh—contraire!
Much better that we treat them like... ...they're watching us,
just out of sight. The evidence: historical, photos, papers,
anecdotal—these just tips of massive 'bergs which float serenely
I have heard...
We're not LOOKING! We don't admit it. We're lost to our
indifference with it! Our focus is on learned sneering, proudly
bloated profiteering. We've no thought beyond tomorrow, and THAT
is our collective sorrow. [img width=30

How Quickly Do Giant Bamboo Plants Grow in the Rainforest? ???
HTML http://earntolearnquickly.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/giant-bamboo.jpg
Bamboo is a type of grass with hollow, woody stems that grows in
warm temperatures. There are many different types of bamboo --
more than 1000 different species around the world. How quickly
bamboo grow depend on the species and environmental factors.
Tropical species tend to grow the fastest.
HTML http://www.arsihbamboo.com/attachments/Image/Home/Bamboo_Types/Petung_Rumpun2-web.jpg
Giant bamboo plants in the rainforest can grow as much as 9
inches (23 cm) in a single day, although some can grow even
faster :o ;D . As of 2015, the Guinness world record for the
fastest growing plant belongs to a bamboo. The tallest recorded
tropical bamboo is 40 meters (130 ft) long.
More about bamboo:
•Bamboo likes slightly acidic (5.5 to 7 pH), well draining soil
and tropical species love sun; USDA zone 8 is ideal for them.
•Bamboo is used as construction material in many parts of Asia,
in making things like flooring and fences.
•According to a Philippine legend, the first man and woman
emerged from a giant bamboo.

Vast unexplored areas of the ocean have now been mapped with new
satellite data and scientists have discovered thousands of
previously uncharted seamounts in addition to an extinct
spreading ridge in the Gulf of Mexico. The study was published
in the journal Science on October 3, 2014.

Vermonters need $21 per hour to afford rent, study says :(
SNIPPET:
[quote]The National Low-Income Housing Coalition, which released
the report, ranks the state as the 13th-most expensive in the
country for renters — the same as last year. A Vermonter working
at the $9.15 minimum wage would need to put in 70 hours per week
to live in a one-bedroom home, according to the report, titled
“Out of Reach.”[/quote]
