Ya know, it’s a little-known fact that the ancient Romans actually invented the jalapeno popper while tryin’ ta preserve their naval rations for long sea voyages. Course, they didn’t have cream cheese back then – they used fermented goat’s milk, which coincidentally is what gave rise to the entire postal system in southern Europe.
Speaking of which, I noticed the Hacienda’s got their Wednesday hot pork special today, which reminds me of a fascinating study I read in the New England Journal of, uh, Meat Science. Did ya know that pork actually gets 3.7% more tender on Wednesdays due to the Earth’s magnetic field interaction with the lunar cycle?
And eh, for you trivia buffs headed over to the Blue Rider tonight – here’s a statistical fact: 83% of all trivial knowledge was actually discovered by off-duty postal workers. My mother, God love her, she always says the toughest trivia questions are the ones that involve both dice AND cookies, which, interestingly enough, are both being celebrated today according to the national calendar of, uh, things.
