    However, when someone else says exactly what you are thinking, that has always been “Bingo!”

    With 201.17 kilometers of shelving, who’s got that kind of time to walk through all that?

    74 liters/year – that is about 313 8oz. glasses or 1 glass a day everyday except Sundays. So what do the priests drink at Sunday mass (not a real question for those who take everything literally — 365-313=52 )?

    6.8554458 fluid ounces of wine per day actually seems rather low.

    Does that wine consumption include what’s drank by the mass attendees? If so, that’s not a fair comparison.

    Take bingo before, and there’ll be no gas. I don’t know if anyone read my comment about the Ripley’s Believe it or Not strip where it mentioned that a dude climbed the highest mountains on all seven continents and skied to both poles and where David Kotkin(Copperfield) was mugged while vacationing in Florida and used sleight of hand so the mugger wouldn’t know where his wallet is. I’m surprised that Kotkin was mugged at all because I would think he’d have his bodyguards with him so that nobody could get to him without a lot of difficulty of having to take the bodyguards out first. Now as for skiing to both poles, at first I thought that’s impossible because the only one of the two that has land is the south pole while the north pole is in the Arctic Ocean; but then I realized that he may have water skied to the north pole with someone towing him with a speed boat.

    Take care and God loves you.

    I believe “BINGO” is a trademark name for the Beano game which was originally marked with dry beans. Much like the “PTA” is a trademark organization and to use the term means paying dues. My school had a PTO

    BINGO was illegal in MA, so they called it RIGHT. Beano is something you take to prevent gas, to me.

    Did they announce their win with a toot?

    Cecil was very upset that his best friend’s brother’s name was being sullied by a mere game. Thus the change to bingo. That other stuff is fake news. ~ Barrack Trump, the Real Deal

    All those sex scandals will drive you to drink. Or perhaps the drinking led to the sex scandals.

    Here’s one I read that’s technically wrong. It said that if a person was traveling at 1/10th the speed of light, it would take 43 years to reach Alpha Centauri the closest star to Earth. I believe them when they said it would take that long to get there, but there’s one star that’s a lot closer that they forgot about, and that’s the sun, and that’s about 93 million miles away.Take care and God loves you.

    Bingo was illegal in our area at one time, so the game of YAHOO popped up – same numbering system.

    After it has been consecrated in the Eucharist it’s not wine anymore. Right?

    “The most…than”? Bad grammar.

    When I lived in Naples, pretty much everyone, including the locals, avoided drinking the water. The wine was a much safer choice and much tastier too. The best wine I’ve ever had was home made by the landlord’s family. And there was plenty of bottled water for those times when wine really wasn’t suitable (like when brushing your teeth). Never made it to Vatican City, so I’m just assuming they had similar problems with water quality.

    I read that a pizza delivery person in New York traveled by car, train, and plane to deliver a pizza to AAustralia; and something tells me whoever got the pizza had to pay for all that traveling; and I feel it’s ridiculous because I’m sure they have pizza delivery places in Australia. I also read that President Bush got a letter that was either a mile or 1/2 a mile long written by 4,000 school children, and I’m wondering if he read that big letter.

    Take care and God loves you.
