Lostintexas, what would you say to 10,000 posts?

7390~Would be doable, don't you think?

7391~Especially in such a short period of time?

7392~Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis got back to the United States after its historic 1972 transatlantic flight to Paris in a pine packing crate, measuring 27 by 12 by 9 feet, that was put aboard the cruiser U.S.S. Memphis.

7393~The flower known as the Yellow Rose of Texas was first found in the United States in New York City. A lawyer named George Harrison (!) found it as a seedling in the 1830s on his farm near what is now Penn Station. The rose was brought out west by settlers and--according to legend--adopted by Texans after Mexican General Santa Ana was distracted by a beautiful woman wearing it in her hair.

7394~The stars from point to point on the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner" were two feet across. The flag is now on display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C.

7395~The average person receives eight birthday cards annually, according to Hallmark.

7396~The waist size of the Statue of Liberty is 35 feet in diameter. But there is no real "waistline"--the robe forms the outer shell of the statue and there is no "torso" underneath.

7397~The first public aquarium in the United States was opened by showman P.T. Barnum in New York City in 1856.

7398~The Library of Congress ceased publishing Playboy in braille in 1985 after Congress voted to withhold funding. Playboy had been publishing in braille--without ads or pictures--for fifteen years. Publication resumed in 1986 after the courts ruled Congress' action illegal. At the time, Playboy was the sixth most popular of the 36 publications the Library was printing in braille.

7399~India ink originated in China.
