It’s February 3. 
Today is “Bubblegum Day.”  Describe your favorite flavor of gum as if explaining it to someone who has never tasted it?

Trivial Fact of the Day:   100,000 tons of gum is chewed each year.  How much of it never finds its way into a trash can after chewing, I wonder.

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “Happiness springs from doing good and helping others.”  --Plato (Greek philosopher)
Vocabulary Word of the Day:  sophomoric (adjective) – use this descriptive word as a synonym for immature or uninformed.  Who do you know who makes the most sophomoric attempts at being funny?
