One of the trivia questions our team answered incorrectly on Friday evening was the number of points awarded when a dart sticks in the very bottom section of a dart board. Not a one of us was a darts player. I ardently wished to be able to phone a friend, but that option wasn’t available.
One member of our team (The Pattycakes) was almost certain it was worth nine points. Another felt like it might be six. Neither had the correct answer: THREE.
But I found it interesting that both of the incorrect guesses were multiples of three, as if in some corner of their minds our team members were making connections to the actual answer.
The brain is an amazing organ. I’m so glad I have one. Too bad I lost the owner’s manual years ago.

The brain is a funny organ and prone to making mistakes. For example, my first impression on clicking on your page and seeing your graphic was that your post was going to be something about walnuts.

Some have commented that my brain has much in common with a walnut.

Darts! My dad was South London Champion years back! The game originated, I understand following the English archers defeated the French at Agincourt!

In the northernmost parts of this country darts are a big thing. I’m guessing due to the long, cold winters. But in Florida, not so much.

The best players seem to come from Holland these days…even in Belgium there are dart boards all over the place yet next door in France I’ve never seen one! However, shopping in France as I will be on Wednesday you do see lots of wine and fine cheeses (Shirley does get the raving hump that my smelly cheeses stink out the car on the way home though!)

I’d rather have wine than darts any old day. Stinky cheeses? No thanks!

I could live on just French cheeses (thousands of varieties) and French bread plus the odd glass of vino obviously
