IN PREPARATION FOR MY STINT ON CASH CAB


T, this is how I knew that tidbit about not naming your pig Napoleon. You didn't even ask! These were on an awesome clearance at Barnes & Noble on a rainy day.

DID YOU KNOW that when telephone area codes were first assigned, New York, the largest city in the country (and hence the one most frequently called), was given 212 because it took the least amount of time to dial on a rotary phone?

From David Hoffman's "Little-Known Facts About Well-Known Places New York" published by Metro Books.

Inquisitively,
