How many UNC grads does it take to pull off a kidnapping?
Six. One to kidnap the victim and five to write the ransom note.

"It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to own
their dependence upon the overruling power of God
and to recognize the sublime truth announced in the
Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those
nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord."
-- President Abraham Lincoln

Two UNC football players were taking an important final exam. If they
failed, they would be on academic probation & not allowed to play in
the big game the following week against N.C. State. The exam was
fill-in-the-blank.

The last question read, "Old MacDonald had a ________."

Putty Duh was stumped. He had no idea what to answer. But he knew he
needed to get this one right to be sure he passed.

Making sure the professor wasn't watching, he tapped Tiny on the
shoulder. "Pssst. Tiny. What's the answer to the last question?"

Tiny quietly laughed. He looked around to make sure the professor
hadn't noticed, then he turned to Putty Duh. "Putty, you're so stupid.
Everyone knows Old MacDonald had a FARM."

"Oh yeah," said Putty Duh. "I remember now."

He picked up his No. 2 pencil and started to write the answer in the
blank. He stopped. Tapping Tiny's shoulder again, he whispered, "Tiny,
how do you spell farm?"

"You are really dumb, Putty Duh. That's so easy. Farm is spelled
E-I-E-I-O."

TRIVIA:

About 75 percent of Americans will have foot problems of
one sort or another at some time in their lives.

The Times Square "time ball" is named the "Star of Hope."
It was especially made for the Y2K millennium celebration
and contains 504 glass crystals cut into triangles, 600
light bulbs, 96 big lights, and 92 mirrors.

***

A rarity in birds, geese are among the very few in which
the family stays together at the end of the breeding season.
Parents and the young raised during the summer establish
strong family bonds and do not break up for about a year.
In the fall, geese migrate in flocks that contain other
family units, and each family stays together on the
wintering grounds.

***

CUBITS

Early systems of measurement used body parts to calculate
length. A cubit ran from elbow to middle fingertip. The
distance from fingertip to fingertip of outstretched arms
was a fathom.

***

THAT'S PRETTY LARGE

The blue whale weighs as much as thirty elephants, and is
as long as three Greyhound buses.

"A man who has never gone to school may steal from a
freight car; but if he has a university education, he may
steal the whole railroad."

Theodore Roosevelt (1858 - 1919), former U.S. President.

If you stop believing what your professor told you had to be true
and if you start thinking for yourself you may come to some
conclusions you hadn't expected. You may find the Bible makes
more sense than you thought or were told to think. Allow yourself
to be ruined, ruined with regard to what you always thought could
be true. Can you believe what you don't understand? You and I
believe everyday what we don't understand unless it comes to
the issue of salvation. - - - Dr. Woodrow Kroll
