Good morning and Happy Tuesday Phoenix!
Trivia for Today:

Quote for Today:
I feel the best when I am happy. Anonymous
Joke for Today:
Man to wife: ''Boy, you are getting old, look at all the wrinkles you are getting!''
Wife: ''They aren't wrinkles, they're laugh lines!''
Man: ''Nothing is that freakin' funny!!'''
Random Daily Factoid:
On average, there are 333 squares of toilet paper on each roll.
Daily Adrenaline Junkie Rush:
Disclaimer: MBPhoenix still does not endorse these activities, nor do they assume any responsibility for accidents or injuries if you partake in them. Do so at your own risk.
Camel Racing: Yes, this is a sport – popular in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Australia, and Mongolia. Professional camel racing, like horse racing, is an event for betting and tourist attraction. Camels can run at speeds up to 40 mph in short sprints, and they can maintain a speed of 25 mph for an hour.
The biggest potential for injury is falling off the camel. Children are often favored as jockeys because of their light weight. Due to thousands of children (some as young as 2) being trafficked from other countries for use as camel jockeys, many countries have issued penalties for child jockeys and force the return of the children to their homes, or sending them to shelters. The United Arab Emirates was the first to ban the use of children under 15 as camel jockeys, Qatar banned it in 2005, and directed that effective in 2007 all camel races would be directed by robotic jockeys.
Have a fangtastic Tuesday everyone!  Brock
