A special day is coming up for you this month.

*Party* Happy Writing.Com account anniversary. *Party*

Happy 16th Writing.com Anniversary!!

May you have 16 more years!
*Balloonr* Yay!! Happy 15th WDC Anniversary wishes! What a stellar *Starstruck* milestone! *Salute*
It’s been forever since I wrote anything meaningful. Apparently all I needed was to lose a beloved family pet.

 Something Sad Open in new Window. (E)
When life hits you where it hurts, sometimes it helps to hear something sad.

This poem will do for now. Eventually I might write some music to go with it.
*Balloonp* Happy birthday wishes! *Wand* *Delight*
*Cake**Candy1**Confettig**Glass**Balloonr**Candlev*
Keep shining as the *Star* you are!
So... what's up?

I've had more spam emails in my WDC inbox this month than in the past thirteen years combined!

"A Catalogue of Useless Facts" Open in new Window.

Day 100: "Pliny the Elder" Open in new Window.

For our final fact, I looked up the world's oldest encyclopedia.
As it turns out -- and purely by accident -- we're going out with a bang.

---


And here we are! One hundred days and one hundred facts!

I think you'll agree that nothing covered here will have any practical impact in your daily life -- but then, we weren't aiming for practical, were we?

The Catalogue will be on hiatus for the foreseeable future, but hopefully I can start up again later this year. The world is a place of infinite facts, so odds are good that some interesting ones are still out there somewhere.

In the meantime, thanks for following. Now go enjoy this fascinating world of ours!

Day 99: "Loofahs" Open in new Window.

Why am I picturing Cosmo Kramer making a salad?

---

As a reminder, tomorrow will be our final fact for this initial run.
I tried to pick something substantial --
tune in and tell me how it sounds!

*FacePalm* Kramer? No, something smaller came to mind ... *Music1**Music2*Oompa loofah doompety doo I've got a perfect puzzle for you ... *Music1**Music2* *Rolling*
What do you get when you guzzle down sweets, eating as much as an elephant eats?

Sorry, couldn't resist. *Smirk*

Day 98: "Barber Poles" Open in new Window.

Take a half-inch from the top, a quarter-inch from the sideburns,
and a half-pint from the cephalic vein.

Day 97: "Purple Flags" Open in new Window.

The reason I'm not doing a poem today is 100% because I just did one yesterday.
The fact that nothing rhymes with "purple" is totally beside the point.

Day 96: ""Okay"" Open in new Window.

To promote our new Fact of the Day
I am not too embarrassed to say
I tried writing a rhyme
And ran quite out of time
So this limerick's hardly... um... fine?

Satisfactory? Adequate?
Shoot -- what's a good word that rhymes with "-ay"?

---

In case I forgot to mention, the Catalogue will go on hiatus after Day 100.
This'll give me time to stock up on new facts, as well as cut back on my daily "Things to Worry About" checklist.
So here we go! Day 96 and counting!

Fabulous! And I will be away when you reach 100 so I won't see the FANFARE! *Salute* You have done a superb job!

Day 95: "The First TV Show" Open in new Window.

Is it "NCIS"? Hasn't that show been airing since the dawn of time?

Day 94: "Ball o' Bees" Open in new Window.

For some animals, "ballin' it up" has a more sinister connotation.

Day 93: ""Car"" Open in new Window.

Looks like the Flintstones were really on to something.

Day 92: "The Underwater Waterfall" Open in new Window.

Because "watersink" doesn't have the same ring, I s'pose.
