A great list to start any conversation.  I don't know how you would respond to one of those starters other than "no kidding"

Geez Travis, I learned a lot about myself on this piece!  Glad to know I'm included in the 11%, was part of the 100 million yesterday, and a little sickened knowing for most of childhood (and adulthood, which I use loosely) life I was referred to as a "pregnant goldfish".  Keep these going so I don't have to go to counseling anymore!  Just kidding... This was fun to read, thanks!

Travis, speaking of #161, I learned that since Jimmy Carter, only he and and the current President are right handed. John McCain and Obama are lefties also.
