From Time magazine, "Numbers" section:


$5 million: 

    Estimated annual cost for a 10-year program that
    would identify large asteroids most threatening to earth. 

$75 million: 

    Budget for "Deep Impact", a film about the devastation
    caused when a comet hits earth. 

CBS is making a movie based on Marcia Clark's book about
the OJ Simpson trial. Casting has not yet begun, but
Marlon Brando has expressed interest in playing the mountain

Toward the end of their senior year in high school, students were required 
to take a CPR course. The classes used the well known mannequin victim, 
Rescue Anne, to practice. 

Rescue Anne was legless to allow for storage in a carrying case. 

The class went off in groups to practice. As instructed, one of the 
students gently shook the doll and asked "Are you all right?" He then put 
his ear over the mannequin's mouth to listen for breathing. 

Suddenly, the student turned to the instructor and exclaimed, "She says 
she can't feel her legs!"
