Trivia number 87

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear.  If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today.  With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

Approximately 90% of the world’s recoverable helium is located in the ground under Amarillo, Texas.  The last one for today is: Charles Alderton (1857-1941), a Waco pharmacist, first created Dr Pepper in 1885. The oldest working Dr Pepper plant (since 1891) is in Dublin, 94 miles west of Waco. There is also no period after the “Dr” in Dr Pepper.

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge.  Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.  Click on the link below.  Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.

Hi James,

So Amarillo could get pretty HIGH is it decided to go up? Good to know it's not flammable. At least I don't think it is.

Have a great day in Rogers my friend. Stay warm.

Best, Clint McKie
