[The Hankster says] Good stuff.
- Eat a Cranberry Day'. No, today is Cranberry Relish Day.
[The Hankster says] If you want to determine if an individual Cranberry is
good, just bounce it on something hard. If it is fresh, it is still filled with air
and will bounce well. It is the air in the berry that allows them to be detached
and floated in a flooded cranberry bog for harvesting by skimming them as
they float. BTW, I take no responsibility, if you get your berries from a
can.
- National Cashew Day'.
[The Hankster says] Ever wonder why you never find Cashews in the shell? That is because the oils in the shell have substances that are skin allergens, like the oils of the poison ivy plant, and present danger during manual cashew processing. It takes careful processing to get us that sweet distinct nut, we love.
Hey math people. Tomorrow is 'Fibonacci Day'. Leonardo Bonacci, aka: Fibonacci, was an Italian mathematician who developed the mathematical sequence with his name. the sequence of numbers in which each pair is the sum of the number to the right. IE: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8, 13 and so on.
[The Hankster says] I'm only familiar with the mathematical sequence 'One, two buckle my shoe. Three four shut the door'.
Tomorrow is 'International Image Consultant Day'.
[The Hankster says] I hired one of these people to make me over. They ended up paying me as their first and only failure.
