Tuesday's Random Stuff

Tuesday, to the majority of us, is simply known as the day of the week after Monday and before Wednesday. But there is much, much more to this day.

Tuesday is also known as the most productive day of the working week. According to a survey from Accountemps, almost half of the 150 executives that participated in a poll, identified Tuesday as the day that their employees were most productive. They reported that a Tuesday will always beat a Monday because the first day of the working week tends to be filled with more meetings. 

The worst day for productivity, not surprisingly, is reported to be a Friday.

Weird Alaska facts:

Alaska sure loves their moose! It is illegal to push one out of a moving airplane throughout the state, while Fairbanks considers you to criminally liable if you allow a thirsty moose to partake of your alcoholic beverage within the city limits.
You also aren’t allowed to whisper in someone’s ear while they’re moose hunting. Oh, and no shooting moose from an airplane.
In Fairbanks, you can kill a polar bear while it is hibernating , but don’t you dare wake it up to take its picture!
Apparently, their legal shenanigans don’t stop with wildlife. Your dog is not allowed to ride in the back of your pickup truck in Anchorage without being in a cage or tied down, either.

More random stuff:
1. During World War II, Americans tried to train bats to drop bombs.
2. Cherophobia is the fear of fun.
3. Footprints and tire tracks left by astronauts on the moon will stay there forever as there is no wind to blow them away.
4. The Welsh word for jellyfish is “pysgod wibli wobli”.
5. Europeans consume about 40% of the planet’s chocolate.
6. Almost half the pigs in the world are kept by farmers in China.
7. The very first nude scene in European cinematic history was in a Greek film in 1931.
8. In Kentucky, it’s against the law to put your ice cream cone in your pocket.
9. Hamsters only live for about 4 years.
10. Barbie’s official birthday is March 9, 1959.
So now you know all the useless/random/weird stuffs.

I'm wondering if alcohol played a part in any of these rules/laws?

I’d put money on it.

"Your dog is not allowed to ride in the back of your pickup truck in Anchorage without being in a cage or tied down, either".

What about children?

Rev. Paul said...

That particular statute is silent on that point. It's addressed elsewhere in the law, though, and I've never seen anyone ride in the back of a truck here.

Kind Sir, you stated: "So now you know all the useless/random/weird stuffs." That does beg the question... ALL?? But, hey, be blessed anyway! ;) Also, you know I'm not a robot, but I'll click the box anyway... :p

Rev. Paul said...

See!! I have always said working on Mondays was a waste of time, which is why I like to work Tuesday thru Friday.

Worked last Monday, ended up getting paid $12 bucks for the day instead of my usual $200+ due to Monday morning incompetents of others. "Yup, i confirmed that admission"..."Um where you aware he is still in the hospital, and most likely isn't coming out today? Per his brother, who is his transportation home?"...crickets.... So when ya call me this past Sunday and ask if I am willing to pick up patients and work Monday when I already have a full schedule the rest of the week...the answer is gonna be Nope, can't do it...Sorry.

I refuse to be a sucker 2 weeks in a row. And now I have a study to point to that proves my long held point. Thank you sir!!

That may be the worst case of Mondays Suck I’ve ever heard.

I assume the fact that you cannot legally push a moose out of an airplane is because someone, somewhere did this.

How someone got the moose into the plane is undoubtedly another tale...

Rev. Paul said...

You assume correctly, sir. And yes, I suppose I’ll have to write that, someday soon.
