    		Yay Liz! That stat came courtesy of the Greeting Card Association, an international trade organisation representing the interests of card-sellers worldwide. They also estimate a billion cards are sent globally.
    I bet most of those 15% daren't not send one.

    I did like your site, Liz. To think I had never noticed that rose is an anagram of Eros!

    Why is it that Australia has such a high proportion of the worlds deadliest creatures? And why also do many of these creatures, such as a funnel web spider, pack so much toxicity they could kill a very large mammal when their diet consists of insects and small lizards?

    In Texas Hold 'Em, what are the odds of making either a straight, a flush or a straight-flush by the river when dealt suited connectors? (I would like to see the math.) For those who are great at probability, but don't know poker: A deck of 52 cards contains 4 suits (spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs) and each suit contains 13 cards (2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-J-Q-K-A in that order - aces can be high or low). In poker, each person is dealt two cards (hole cards) and then five cards that everyone can use are placed face-up and you have to make the best five card hand out of those seven cards. The first three are called the flop, the fourth is called the turn, and the fifth is called the river. A flush is you have five cards of the same suit, a straight is when you have any five cards in a row (ex. 8-9-10-J-Q) and a straight flush is when you have five cards in a row of the same suit. Suited connectors are two cards dealt to you of the same suit that are one apart (ex: 9-10 of hearts).

    I'm looking for the name of a TV mini series movie/show. We had rented them from the video store. It's about a boy who is traveling to different worlds looking for pieces of a machine to get him back home (I think.) He is gathering something along his way. He travels to different worlds with a "professor" and maybe another person. Along the way he visits 5-8 different worlds (each was a different movie.) They were all entitled "Somebody and the Land of ???" One world had to do with giant eggs, one world a town of toys, and the end was a land something like a fantasy "Camelot." My children watched these movies anywhere from 1988 - 1993. I'm hoping someone can help me end my frazzled search.
