How many red stripes on The American Flag?

 

How many rings in the Olympic emblem?

 

While on my way to St.Ives, I saw a man with 7 wives. Each had 7 sacks. Each sack had 7 cats. Each cat had 7 kittens. Kittens, cats, wives, how many were going to St.Ives?

 

 

Useless information: The world's smallest man is 23.5 inches tall. His name is, Junrey Balawing, from the Philipines.

                            The chances of catching a blue lobster, is one in a million.

 

 

Quote of the day:.....If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.........Booker T.Washington

There are 13 stripes on the American flag; one for each original colony. (On Jay Leno's "Jay Walking" clips, I saw him ask a woman how many stripes were on the flag, and there was an American flag waving in the wind on a building nearby, and she said, "It's moving too fast for me to count them"). 

 

There are 5 circles on the Olympic symbol, although I don't know why.

 

And the third question, I cannot put my brain to, as cog fog has not lifted yet today. I'll come back to it later, even if someone has answered, I won't peak and see if I can fathom it.

 

I like the quote very much, P.J..  (Quote of the day:.....If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.........Booker T.Washington)

 

Sig-Will I hope you're going to start asking questions again, and not be a party pooper.
