It's a fun fact!!

The Ten Commandments contain 297 words. The Bill of Rights...463 words. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address has 266 words.

A recent federal directive to regulate the price of cabbage contains 26,911 words.

--The Atlanta Journal.

This was off my daily "Lawyers" calendar that my mother got me for Christmas. I found it giggle-worthy.

All the negativity. We need to woodshed the Giant for neglecting the blog for so long and then returning with a pessimistic view that is anti-posting.

Why to break the chain Skog.

I think you need to join The Giant at the woodshed.

Illegible, but oddly attractive.

It looks like a fool is speaking.

Is that the tone in which

If so, great job!
