You made it!
Another working week done and the last full week of October accomplished.
Ready for some Random facts? See if you know these...
1. By the end of October, the world will have approximately 7 billion people according to the United Nations. Much of the growth is occurring in African nations south of the Sahara. The U.S. population would be shrinking if not for immigration.
2. IQ tests show that the average teenager is smarter with each generation. The tests are constantly adjusted to keep average at 100, and a teenager who now would score a 100 would have scored a 118 in 1950 and a 130 in 1910.
3. There were fewer than 20 democracies in 1946. Now there are close to 100. The number of authoritarian countries has dropped from a high of almost 90 in 1976 to about 25 now.
4. The first candy corn was made in 1898.
5. Recipe: Everyone has Halloween treats and cakes that are their favorites. One that is fast and easy:
Make a sheet cake as directed. Ice as usual using white, chocolate, or even grey colored icing. Stick Vienna Cookies vertical into the cake with "candy corn" pumpkins scattered throughout. Looks like a cemetery. Can add other non-edible items from craft store for a more detailed scene.
