oak tree on the ground looks four times bigger than it did standing up.<\/li>\n<li>When house hunting, look for closets with lots of leg room.<\/li>\n<li>AA, C and D are the only alphabet we need (think batteries).<\/li>\n<li>Chainsaw-wielding-men are nothing to be afraid of.<\/li>\n<li>You can&#8217;t spell &#8220;priceless&#8221; without I-C-E.<\/li>\n<li>Gasoline is a value at any
