My housekeeping is such, you can also eat off my floors.

YEAH!
I remember as a kid looking at those catalogues, and wanting to get the "Surprise Box".
$3000 worth of stuff, all for $6.25
Imagine the riches.
I will never question you again, Chai. I feel terrible for doing so in the first place. I must not have a sole.
was that the soul reason for this disagreement?

Quote:in 2007 there were 134 000 000 babies born/yr divided by 525 600 minutes/yr = 255 babies born/minute

Sorry, that can't be, it would make the general population much, much clever..
Phineas Tayor Barnum is alleged to have said: "There's a sucker born every minute." Admirers of P. T., however, deny this. Other commentators state that P. T. actually said: "There's a suck born every minute; and two born to take advantage of him."
Now, had P. T. actually said that, the birth rate in 2007 were meaningless, as he died more than a century earlier--1891. So, it were entirely possible that of each, say, ten live births in 1890, one was a sucker, two were natural born flim-flammers, one was destined for greatness and the other six were destined to never leave the farm or the factory.
Who can say?

ah....but saying there's one born every minute does not say there is ONLY one born every minute.
One is merely the minimum.
I wonder how many babies were born a minute back in PT's day?
When, truly, was there only one born every minute?

Just a guess, but i'd say around 30,000 BCE . . .

Well, it would be meaningless in that case but, as Chai was referring to the suckers that currently buy those garbage bowls, it is meaningful..
@Chai,
Picture of the tag or not real
but anyways I think its just a manufacturing defect.
