4. The former vice-president Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were roommates at Harvard
5. 90% of New York City cabbies are recently arrived immigrants (...shocker)
6. During a lifetime an American Man will spend about 3,500 hours shaving? (As opposed to the Canadians and French who spend only 2,600 hours....What is up with this stat?
7. The twin towers of World Trade Center in New York had 208 elevators
8. New York City has 722 miles of subway track
9. Americans file about 70000 lawsuits every single day
10. Americans consume an average of about 67 pounds of sugar each in a year

LOL! Love your blog. I was in tears laughing about elementary school. It is amazing any of us survived. And loved the random American facts. Hilarious.
YOU have a blog too?? What is this and why was I not aware?!? "I'm in love with my cousin!!"....that's all..
The shaving one was my favorite. I hate shaving and hope to decrease that stat by getting the hair removed off my face through laser hair removal. Feel free to check out mine and Heather's blog. http://cragheadfam.blogspot.com
Hey there! Before you start wondering how you know me let me just say that you don't! lol
I just came across your blog and had to give props for the "America: Is This What We've Become?" pix. OK so I laughed hard enough for tears to run and that's before I hit the ice cream truck shot and then the lunch lady.
Oh dear this is why I love blogging. Ya never know what you'll run across on any given day.
Great blog!
Cheers!!
