Well, Many of you noticed last week's errors.  First,  Mickey Mouse's birthday
and Fondation Day are Friday the 18th and Discovery of Puerto Rico day is
Saturday the 19th.  This week I WILL remember to put the trivia answers!
************************************************************************
THIS WEEK'S TRIVIA QUESTION:
 Jimmy Dewar, the inventor of the Twinkie, ate how many of his Cream-
filled cupcakes during his lifetime?
LAST WEEK'S TRIVIA:

bestseller "The Bonfire of the Vanities"?
 2,343
PREVIOUS WEEK'S TRIVIA:

Norweigian blue shadow fox coat?

Las Vegas.
************************************************************************
This week for a create-a-top-ten-list the subject will be: The top ten rejected
team nicknames for DLHS.
************************************************************************
It may be a little unconventional, but Pittsburgh Pirates fan Donna McConaughy
likes to show her support for the team by coming to Three Rivers Stadium
dressed like a bee.  She made the costume herself, right down to the antennae.
At a May game against the Astros, team officials asked her to change. Problem?
She looked to much like a professional mascot.  The team said that pro mascots
are trained to handle crowd control and are insured against accidents.  He says
the team is afraid of being sued if someone gets hurt by an unauthorized mascot.

 University of Bethlehem, Pa., the college of Business and economics
offers what sounds like a regular business-guy kind of class called New Market
Planning.  But this course, taught by Bruce Smackey, has a twist.  The prof
offers extra credit for dating.  His incentive program offers five points for
going on a date, five for matchmaking, and seven for dating someone else in the
class.  This term,  33 of 40 students got extra credit.  The prof also offers
"The Hero's Award" to unlucky Lotharios who strike out three times.

 A nurse in Cambridge, Md., has filed a reckless endangerment charge
against a colleague who she claims tried to kill her.  The weapon: a banana.
Disguised as a gun?  Tossed strategically on a floor?  No, nurse Lynn Rimes is
highly allergic to bananas.  She says fellow nurse Cheeri Parry spread a banana
on a book and cart she was using.  If convicted, parry could face five years
imprisonment and a $5,000 fine.

This week's obscure Word:   VOMITORY
Entrance piercing the banks of a stadium

Lady Astor:"If I were your wife, I would flavor your coffee with poison!"
Winston Churchill:"And if I were your Husband, Madam, I should drink it!"

"I hate quotations."   -Ralph Waldo Emerson
