* When ocean tides are at their highest, they are called “spring tides.” When they are at their lowest, they are call “neap tides.”
* February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.
* Many Japanese golfers carry “hole-in-one” insurance, because it is traditional in Japan to share one’s good luck by sending gifts to all your friends when you get an “ace.” The price for what the Japanese term an “albatross” can often reach $10,000.
This makes me glad of two things. I’m glad that I’m not Japanese, and I’m glad I not a golfer.

As long as I’m rambling, here, did you know that GOLF was originally an acronym meaning Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden? Kinda makes Ladies Golf sort of pointless, no?
