15 Trivia Tidbits For Your Friday
I was walking in the woods and I found myself thinking about a certain kind of mushroom that I knew. I thought about it because I wanted to know more about its nature but I had no idea where to find such mushrooms, and I was worried that if I tried to find one I'd get lost. And then I wondered why I was worrying about something as stupid as getting lost when there are much worse things to worry about, like being eaten by bears, and I started thinking about how I could avoid being eaten by a bear. Then I wondered if it is possible at all to get eaten by a bear, and whether it is more likely that a human would just get mauled rather than eaten whole. And then I got really scared and decided to go back to town because if I didn't, I might end up as someone's dinner.
And then I remembered a totally random list of facts I'd read earlier in the day. That list went ...
