The day was devoted to the goddess of fertility, Freya – Freitag – Friday. If you are scared of Friday the 13th, you may have paraskavedekatriaphobia.

And this tradition continues for many, many adults as well.

For my fact: In the UK and Australia, Friday is sometimes referred to as POETS Day: "Piss Off Early, Tomorrow's Saturday".

According to a reliable study done by an online dating site, Friday (late afternoon/early evening) is when most couples meet in person their first time.

Americans spend about $86.79 on Halloween every year.
That includes Halloween decorations, candy, costumes, and cards by the NRF definition. (If you're curious how that compares to Christmas, Americans spent an average of $1,007 on winter holidays in 2018.)

Online dating "Little White Lies"
Anywhere from 50% to 80% of people who use online dating lie about themselves on their profile. Women tend to lie about their age, while 40% of men have admitted to lying about their jobs. People also tend to lie about height, weight and income.

"22% of People Have Asked Someone to Help With Their Profile"
Your profile is the first thing singles will see on a dating site, and to be honest, most of them will only take a few seconds to read it and determine if you’re right for them or not. That puts a lot of pressure on people to make their profiles perfect, especially those who are trying online dating for the first time and aren’t the best writers. So it’s understandable that almost one-fourth of online daters have asked someone to give them a hand with this part of the process such as choosing the best photos or tweaking some of the language.

World Series fact..

The Houston Astros and the Washington Nationals never played each other in the regular season, yet shared their spring training field. Imagine them watching each other and never thought they would battle it out in the World Series!!

Three teams have been to the World Series in the same year that the city that they play in also hosted the Super Bowl: the 1998 San Diego Padres, the 2006 Detroit Tigers, and the 2011 Texas Rangers..

I never said they would feel it or enjoy it. Their body is capable of it and it's happened (otherwise the medical community wouldn't know about it).

Here's another one for you: it's physically impossible to lick your elbow.

:deepthoughts:

Now I'm even more confused than ever! If the person is brain dead, what form of communication was used to indicate an orgasm was achieved to the medical community???

I won't stay up nights worrying about their orgasms, lord knows I got enough with worrying about my own, but it does have me baffled....:seeingstars:

I can see a male having an orgasm as it is almost entirely a function of the penis, scrotum, and prostate to produce semen, but female orgasms aren't merely a physiological reaction like the male.
Impregnating a wife/female partner by causing this reaction has been done for quite a while. I think it's :|:batty::deadhorse::deadhorse:

Electrodes and scans and connecting bits and pieces, I'd assume. Different parts of the brain light up during orgasm versus anger versus happiness, whether one is aware of it or not.

Fun fact! Green Eggs and Ham was created as a result of a bet between Dr. Seuss and his editor.

Bonus fact! Between 1912 and 1948, the Olympic Games awarded medals in sculpture, music, painting, and architecture. Competitive art!
