I can go all day;

1) It is illegal to carry ice cream in your pocket in Kentucky.
2) Parents can give their children alcohol but not tobacco.
3) Asphalt from your roads is the most recycled material in the country.
4) It is impossible to paint the Golden Gate Bridge. By the time the crew finishes they have to go back to the other end.
5) Along with number 4; The Eisenhower Tunnel through the Rockies must be inspected every 5 years; it takes engineers 5 years to complete 1 inspection.
6) You swallow an average of 8 spiders per year in your sleep.
7) 1 in 2 people will be involved in some sort of auto accident in their lifetime.

That's true. So was Johnny Mathis. Neither of them actually lived in Gilmer, though, as far as I know. Don Henley grew up in Linden, Texas, and Johnny Mathis moved to Los Angeles after he was born.

A tank of oil one mile long by one mile wide by one mile tall contains enough oil to run the entire United States for almost three years. Really. That doesn't seem like that much oil in complarison to the entire land mass of the US but it is true. We use 25 million barrells a day and that tank would hold 25 Billion barrells or enough for 1000 days of use.
