“And all your money won’t another minute buy…“
-–”Dust in the Wind” (Kansas)
Like many teenagers back in the day, I enjoyed listening to Rock music.
And during that period of the 1970’s American Rock was anchored by the group Kansas, a close-knit group of singers and musicians whose vocals and instrumental work blended together on a level that seemed to approach perfection.

If you’re like most folks you’ve probably daydreamed about breaking a Guinness World Record and having your name written in that famous book.
Of course breaking a Guinness World Record isn’t easy, and only a relatively small number of our fellow humans will ever break one.
But that being said, some individuals have actually broken multiple world records in the past, and others will do so in the future.

Even if you don’t like it, you’re probably familiar with SPAM.
No, not the hundreds of junk emails that land in your inbox on a daily basis.

Well, as you might expect, we Americans consume more SPAM than any other country in the world.

However, you just might be surprised to learn which country eats the second-most amount of SPAM – and why.

You’re probably aware that the U.S. Postal Service will happily deliver certain live animals on your behalf if you’re willing to pay the postage.
But did you know they used to deliver human children as well?
Yes, it’s true. Back in the early 1900’s several children were actually sent “Parcel Post” through the U.S. Mail.
