3. The Ernest character from the “classic” films like “Ernest Goes to Camp” and “Ernest in the Army” started as a character in TV commercials.

4. There are no laws preventing the NBA, NFL, or any other sports league from rigging their games.
5. Sunflowers are excellent for cleanup after nuclear accidents . . . because they soak up radiation from the ground and water.
