USELESS FACT Set your clocks!
Here's something my dad emailed me this morning: "This coming Wednesday, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06. This won't happen again for another 1000 years." As such, I know it sounds lame... but I will most probably be up at 1 AM, just to celebrate this historically useless tidbit of knowledge.
Additionally, it's time to replace the phrase "As American as apple pie" with something more historically accurate... like "As American as the trampoline" or "As American as the fortune cookie." Viva revolution!
