“Mr. Looper? Where did YOU come from?”

Maybe I’ll make Monday the day I post something new and kooky that I’ve learned lately…kind of like the old “Sunday Burst of Weirdness” I used to post back in the old Byzantium’s Shores days.

Anyway, here’s something I didn’t know, and wow, did kids in 1986 dodge a bullet: there was actually discussion about having Big Bird fly on a space shuttle mission.

Yup. That space shuttle mission.

Imagine if that had come to pass. An entire generation of then-children would still be in therapy.

I don’t have much to say today but I did learn a random fact I didn’t know so now I’m sharing it with you, because I care!

Harland Sanders, the famous “Colonel Sanders” of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame, lived his last fifteen years or so not in Kentucky or anywhere you might expect. He lived in Mississauga, Ontario, which at that time was a suburb of Toronto. (Now Mississauga is so large that it’s a city in its own right.)

Did you need this information? Probably not. Are you happy I shared it with you? I hope so!
