Money Orgami

25 Extremely Cool Examples Of Money Origami

I always think of Brad when I see origami. RIP Binky

I used to like to take two dollar bills and make an origami ring from them and leave them as a tip.  Before you think I'm a cheapskate, let me add: I seldom eat out except for the rare breakfast, so that wasn't a bad tip for a $7-8 meal. I don't even eat breakfast much these days, other than fixing myself a bowl of steel-cut oatmeal.  I have to avoid hash browns, biscuits and gravy. -sigh-

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zepplin

That "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zepplin didn't make the charts until 2007, when it was made available as a digital download? It was part of the album known as IV4. It never made the charts because it was never released as a single.

Did You Know?

That Ray Kroc (the founder of McDonald's) and Walt Disney both served in the same ambulance unit in WWI?

(and before someone calls me on it, Kroc didn't build the first McDonald's restaurant, but he founded the huge company that it is today)

This is the first post in what I hope to be at least a weekly affair. It may be several times a week or more sporadic than once/week. (my friends and regular readers know how much of a procrastinator I am.) I'm going to post only that trivia that surprised me when I learned it and think that it might surprise you as well.

Besides, if ToTG is going to be one of the most trivial blogs on the 'net, we might as well have some more trivia, huh?
