9/11/07

* There are roughly 2,000 dots in a large cup of Dippin' Dots. The creator is a microbiologist, and one of the first vendors was in Pulaski County, Illinois.
* Pretzels started as rewards to little monks when they learned their verses correctly. The shape is to teach them how to pray (arms crossed and whatnot).
* Only in the Midwest can you walk into work in a T-shirt and walk out of work needing a scarf and jacket.
* Sept. 11 is officially Patriot Day. (I get the feeling I'm probably the only one who didn't know this.)
* Double check your mugshots.
* ...and slug photos correctly.
* Certain educators choose not to acknowledge 9/11 in class (specifically on the anniversary and usually for younger children) because they don't want to scare the students or force them to deal with such a dramatic event. Your thoughts?
