• Walter Cronkite is the actual name of the second highest mountain in the Andes.

• People are not interested in the president's tax returns.

• Madagascar was once a Southern slave state.  When the Confederacy seceded from the Union, it seceded with it.  In an economic move, the Governor of Madagascar cut the budget for the ropes that tied his state to South Carolina and Madagascar was blown out to sea during the "Great Wind" of 1863.

• Doorknobs are more intelligent than shoelaces.
