• Some of those who research our sleep habits claim that humans' normal sleep pattern should alternate four hours awake with four hours asleep 24 hours a day.
• It was several hundred years BC when famed Greek philosopher Plato made the following sage - and still relevant - observation: "One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
• If you pick up those flashy (and trashy) tabloid mags in the checkout line of the grocery store, you might want to consider this: the reading level of tabloids is considered to be 9 to 12 years of age.
• The first football team on record to have a live animal mascot was the United States Naval Academy. In 1890, the story goes, midshimen acquired a goat and named it, with a great lack of creativity, "Bill."
• "Uncopyrightable" is one of the only 15-letter words in the English language that doesn't repeat a single letter.
• No matter where you live in the world, if you've been paying attention at all during the past 15 or 20 years you've heard the Nike shoe comppany's slogan "Just Do It." In the late 1980s, the company was filming a commercial in Africa and hired a tribesman in Kenya to say the slogan in his native tongue. Instead he said, "I don't want these. Give me big shoes." And nobody, it seems, caught the substitution.
• If you're like the average American, you spend more time watching TV than doing anything else excepting else except sleeping and working - more than four hours every day.
