Ernest Hemingway is supposed to have won a bet that he couldn't write a story in six words. He won.

A book has been been published based on this idea. Contributors had to tell their life story in only six words. The book uses one of the stories as its title: Not Quite What I Had Planned. Another one was: After Harvard had baby with crackhead.

I have written Fuzzy's. He would never write such things about himself - being too modest - but it is a true account:

Destined to be great. Managed it.

Mine is: Getting cleverer with each passing day.

I didn't know Karl Wallender had died.

Neither did I, not that I knew who he was, but the first time I saw the accident, I was shocked that he couldn't hold on! :shock:
