National Jelly Bean Day

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Tue Apr 22, '08, 8:53 am

Today, April 22, is National Jelly Bean Day! We've talked about Jelly Beans before in the Easter Candy thread topic, I believe it was. Jelly Beans come in all flavors, colors, and sizes. So, if you love Jelly Beans, today's your day! :wink:

Here's a quick Trivia question for you:

Which US President was so fond of Jelly Beans that he kept a jar of them on his desk in the Oval Office at all times?

Oval office? Wasn't that the same president who had his room specifically designed so that if he stepped onto the foci points of the room, with his officials in the other side, he could hear everything that had to say even if they whispered? Thats so fun, done it before, if you've ever been to the Exploratorium in CA.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....
