"Did you know...?" - Sunday, January 3, 2009 (cost, how much, phone)

[Suncoast Guy]

Here are some interesting numbers to look at! (from 1997 mind you, but since it is a New Year... I thought this might be interesting to share.)

• 166,875,000,000 pieces of mail are delivered each year in the U.S!
• 1,525,000,000 miles of telephone wire a strung across the U.S!
• 123,000,000 cars are being driven down the many U.S highways!
• 85,000,000 tons of paper are used each year in the U.S!
• 56,000,000 people go to Major League baseball each year!

I never realised how much junk mail I got until I was gone for 9 weeks. Took me about an hour to sort thru it to find the 10 pieces of mail I wanted.

It's funny because the first two, snail mail & telephone wiring are becoming an endangered species!
