That if you dial (202) 456-1414, your call will be answered at the White House? That Daddy Long Legs is not actually a spider, but a member of the tick family? That his bite is one of the most deadly, but his mouth is too small to inflict his deadly bite? That wasps can't see at night? I've got more, just can't think of them right now. But I hope these help. Good luck, hope you cheer up.

Did you know that if you lift a refrigerator from the house to your car, you'll be arrested? Neighbors get testy when you steal their stuff.
Besides that, its not too smart to haul a refrigerator in your car. Next time use a truck.
