Well folks, Jojo has really done it this time and I think that although we now only have 13 facts, he should hold his head up high for being such a wiz at trivia, riddles and jokes. We all have our 'non-think' moments. Mine is trying to remember where I pulled the original 35 facts from, so until I do, I changed the Subject to "13 Facts...." - golddust
[Note from jojomataketa: Hi everyone, I, in one of my non-think moments, while replying to golddust's post, deleted some of the 35 facts! I have sent a PM to golddust to repost her message. In the meantime....I will sink my head in shame. What you find below is PART of golddust's original post with my comments in blue. Hope goddust will repost soon. I am very sorry about this!]
