Tell Me Something I Don't Know

Popcorn enjoys a metaphysical bond with humanness. Popcorn is also the world's most social food. Consider that popcorn is the only food more often shared than eaten alone. Since that is so, the act of sharing brings people together, even if that togetherness is no more poignant than two greasy fingers touching and sliding off each other way down in the bottom of the bucket.

I thought fondue was the most social food? Wait, maybe you're right, greasy fingers touching at the bottom of the bowl is better than cheese-covered, burnt fingers.

My mistake. Carry on.

They are the Amish. But I don't know if the Penn. Dutch are just those in Penn.

The Amish mostly pick Lancaster county, in Pa. to live. I believe Pa. Dutch is an older term to refer to the large population of German immigrants that settled in Pa. too. The Amish are not all Pa. Dutch.

To sum up....

Not all Amish are Pa. Dutch.

Not all Pa. Dutch are Amish.

Make sense? Not to me, either. I just wish they'd quit using the horse and buggy and stop holding up traffic here.

In spring 1999 Finland became the first country in the world where over half of the population has a mobile phone. The number of mobile phones has exceeded that of fixed connections. By the end 1999, more than 60 out of 100 households owned a cell phone. The Internet and audio-visual services are increasingly available via wireless multimedia phones.

That wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that one of the largest cel phone manufacturers in the world happens to be located in Finland, would it?

As an aside, would you know where I could get information on Finnish films?

This should be easy.


It doesn't have to be of a personal nature. Just give me something to think about.
