The majority of the dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. Luckily we have dust mites to eat that skin---a typical matress contains 10's of 1000's of the mites. Pillows are worse- up to 10% of the weight of a 2 year old bed pillow is composed of dead mites.

Take deep breaths and sleep tight tonight!

What happens when you wash the pillow case, does it weight 10% less?

Well...not a hat, more of a calendar, but you could put it on your head and wear it as a hat. I guess. If you used tape, because it would probably fall off. It wouldn't really block the sun or rain or anything either, so it would be a poor hat. Maybe you could put the calendar underneath a proper hat, but then you wouldn't really need the calendar anymore. Well, unless you wanted random facts under your hat, but then you couldn't read them.

So, in response to your post, a calendar is not a hat.

A group of frogs is called an army.

so when we say an army of frogs, do we need a qualifier that distinguishes the phrase from the French Army? :p

0/10

Are you kidding? That's freaking great. I just told my Citrix Admin that and we both agree that frogs, in groups, kick ass now.
