Since I'm so bored. I'm going to start posting random facts from this book on my table!
1. Characteristics of living things: Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, Nutrition. (MRS GREN)
2. The only location in the USA where the boundaries of four states join in one place is: 37 degrees N, 109 degrees W. ( The intersection of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico.)
3. Some chemical abbreviations:
TCP: Trichlorophenylmethylliodosalicyl: germicide
TNT: Trinitromethylbenzene: explosive
DDT: Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane: insecticide
4. 1 Horsepower can be converted to as follows:
-Power required to lift 550 foot-pounds by 1 foot in 1 second.
-33,000 foot-pounds per minute
-745.7 watts
-2545 BTUs

Eugene really likes the fifth month of the year very much.
