Here are a few past notes from the NewsLetters:

Wednesday, May 10, 2000 Volume XX II

========================================================================

[**] Most of the ice in Antarctica is approximately one mile thick. Over 80 percent of the world's freshwater is stored in ice in Antarctica!

Wednesday, May 24, 2000 Volume XX IV

========================================================================

[**] Statues of Anubis in Ancient Egypt were said to be half human-half dog. Actually the head of Anubis, god of the underworld, was a jackal!

Wednesday, June 7, 2000 Volume XXI I

========================================================================

[**] In 1992, the governor of Hawaii received a 30,000-signature petition to change the name of a particular Hawaiian island to 'Gilligan's Island', in honor of the TV sitcom. Needless to say, that Island is still called Maui!
