I only identify with a couple of these.
Number 4 and 20

I already knew two but had forgotten one.
So... One.

I knew 4.

I knew number six but failed on the other 19. Not surprising, those are some pretty obscure titles…

Gotta luv trivia! However, you got me on all of them, even if I had heard of several of them. I am getting at that age where they are on the tip of my tongue and all I want to do now is spit out that useless info.

More than 2300 years after his death, Aristotle remains one of the most influential people who ever lived. He contributed to almost every field of human knowledge then in existence.
Aristotle was taught by Plato. He joined Plato's Academy in Athens at 17, and remained there until the age of 37. His views profoundly shaped medieval scholarship, and he tutored Alexander the Great.
He died at 61 or 62, and below are a few of his quotes:
On Self-Awareness: "Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
On Criticism: "Criticism is something we can avoid easily by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing."
On Friendship: “Though the wish for friendship comes quickly, friendship does not.”
On Feeling Offended: "A fool contributes nothing worth hearing and takes offense at everything."

RULES OF RURAL MINNESOTA ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot.
2. Turn your cap right, your head isn't crooked.
3. Let's get this straight; it's called a 'dirt road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.
4. They are cattle. They're live steaks. That's why they smell funny to you. But they smell like money to us. Get over it.
5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $150,000 combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.
6. So every person in rural Minnesota waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.
7. If that cell phone rings while an 8-point buck and 3 does are coming in, we WILL shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.
8. Yeah, we eat taters, gravy, beans and cornbread. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop..
9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.
10. We open doors for women. That is applied to all women, regardless of age.
11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham & turkey.
12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three seasonings - salt, pepper, and ketchup. Oh, yeah.... We don't care what you folks in other states call that stuff you eat ... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!
13. You bring 'coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice.
14. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.
15. College and high school football are as important here and fun to watch.
16. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards -- it spooks the fish.
17. Colleges? We have them all. We have State Universities , Community Colleges, and Vo-Techs. They come outta there with an education plus a love for God and country, and they still wave at everybody when they come for the holidays.
18. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't music anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers. Refer back to #1.
19. Four inches of snow isn't a blizzard - it's a flurry. Drive in it like you got some sense, and DON'T take all our bread, milk, and bleach from the grocery stores. This ain't Alaska . Worst case you may have to live a whole day without croissants. The pickups with snowplows will have you out the next day.
A true MINNESOTAN will send this on!!!
20. By the way.... if you want to talk to God in Minnesota , it's a local call.

^^^^^^^

Number 5 rocks! As does number 20!

Those are great Coop!
I confess though...I eat Sushi.

Grandma was cool.

Found these word that hold very true, if you're eight.

A good way to live.
