Thanks for the link about the playing cards, I didn't know about this!! very interesting.
And love the quote, how true!
enjoy your weekend, kenju!
I had no idea the kings and queens were actually kings and queens! Thanks for the link!
I didn't know the each King represented a certain king or ruler in history.
However, I did know only one of the kings in a deck of cards has no mustache - or is it only one that has a mustache? I forgot, I am not very impressive with my trivia bits am I?
That was an informative linl.
Michele sent me here.
Michele sent me over again today, Judy.
I was out shopping last night and it was pretty quiet. I didn't go out until after 8pm tho. Various stores at Crossroads and then over to Fuquay for Wal-mart. It didn't even get cold at all until around 11pm. Freaky weather, huh?
Do you get the feeling that they just made up that info about the playing cards?
I always get this picture of Michele as a sort of blog traffic warden busily directing people hither and yon and I long for the day when I have a commenter who says the magic 'Michele sent me!'
I love that quote1 It is so true.
