More about these tools
None of these pages writes new text. Each is a fixed list, checked and printed in full at the bottom of its page. Each fact names the body it was read from, such as NASA, NOAA or the National Park Service. The riddles are traditional ones, reworded, with the answer under a cover. The psalms use the World English Bible, which is public domain. The quotations come from works published before 1931 and name the work and the year. The compliments, affirmations, advice, fortunes and excuses were written for this site. A list under the button narrows a draw by topic.
