Halloween Codicil
Omaha World Herald (10/31): "This year Americans will drop about $9 billion in celebration of Halloween & its carnival of escapism, a chance to flaunt yourself or disappear into someone else. The holiday's craziness & camp are fun precisely because they are temporary . . Nine billion dollars!Fast Food
OWH (11/1): "1 in 3 adults eat fast food on any given day. On any given day, when people are deciding where & what to eat, more than a 3rd of American adults--estimated to be more than 84 million adults--choose offerings from fast-food or pizza restaurants, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control & prevention." 84 million!Dept. of Shameless Joke-Stealing *

The guard replies, 'They are 65,000,011 years old. 'That's an awfully exact number,' says the tourist. 'How do you know their age so precisely?' The guard answers, 'Well, the dinosaur bones were 65,000,000 years old when I started working here, & that was 11 years ago.'"
