Random Facts Friday: February 19, 2012

Hello Friday! Hi everyone! Hopefully you are at home relaxing and looking at your favorite websites.
Here are this week's Random Facts Friday:

1. Six new breeds appeared at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. They were: the xoloitzcuintli, the Entlebucher mountain dog, the Norwegian lundehund, the American English coonhound, the Finnish lapphund and the Cesky terrier.

2. Being bilingual may push Alzheimer's away for as many as four additional years.

3. Processed tomatoes, such as tomato paste, ketchup, and marinara sauce, can help your skin be less sensitive to ultraviolet light. It is the lycopene, an antioxident, which is not found in raw tomatoes.

4. Lego company makes over 20 billion bricks each year.

5. Friday night at our house meant watching t.v. and eating snacks.

1 cup salted peanuts
1 cup cashews
8 ounces semi sweet chocolate morsels 
2 cups Cheerios cereal  
4 ounces sesame sticks
