WHALE ART
A Beluga whale is making a big splash as an artist after picking up a paintbrush at an oceanarium in China.

Now the seven year old star's paintings are changing hands for hundreds among fans.

USELESS TRIVIA

Studies in the U. S. show the average three-person family generates 40 pounds of garbage a week. Much of the garbage is grass clippings/yard waste; followed by paper, then food.

The kinds of smells our noses detect have been categorized by scientists. They are minty, floral, ethereal, musky, resinous, foul and acrid.

The only major state in the U. S. that grows coffee is Hawaii. One-third of the pineapples consumed in the world also is grown there.

Singer Eddie Vedder suggested the name of the musical group ‘Pearl Jam.’ He wanted to honor his Aunt Peggy’s homemade jam.
