ADAM HAMM Commissioner of Insurance (May 5, 12 and 19) By Samantha Weaver • It was British author Douglas Adams, best known for his "Hitch- hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" novels, who made the following sage obser- vation: "Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." • In the African nation of Sudan, a traditional wedding includes a cere- mony known as "sungkem," in which the bride and groom kiss the knees of their parents. • "Casablanca," starting Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, is one of the most beloved movies of all time, frequently being listed at or near the top of lists of the best films ever made. However, shortly after its release in November 1942, The New Yorker rated it only "pretty tolerable." • Connoisseurs of frog legs claim that you should leave the toes on when frying-- they're good for pick- ing your teeth after eating. • The deepest hole ever drilled by humans reached a whopping depth of 7.62 miles. The project, known as the Kola Superdeep Borehole, was undertaken in Russia for the purpose of scientific research. • At any given time, about two- thirds of the earth's surface is cov- ered by clouds. • American author, abolitionist, naturalist, historian and philosopher Henry David Thoreau died on May 6, 1862, of complications of tuberculo- sis. Those who were with him during his final moments say his last words were "moose" and "Indian."
