Re: For those who thought they knew EVERYthing
Very nice post, I always wonder where all the dust in my house comes from. They seem to accumulate at breakneck speed in the dry California weather whereas in SG, the humidity prevents it from flying into your house. I open the windows all the time and that adds to the dust level.Ling2 wrote:*************************************************************

An armadillo always has four babies per litter and they are all genetically identical. She can also delay birth up to 2 months if under enough stress
The human body does not digest hair
a button mushroon is actually a baby shitake mushroom
Your eyes get no bigger than what they are at birth. No lie!!!!!!

did you know mushrooms can grow through concrete (not sure of the thickness though)
when a fly lands on a ceiling it touches it's front legs up to the ceiling & then flips it's body over (almost like a back flip)
flies take off by launching themsleves backwards
squid ink was used to sepia tone photographs

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.
Lid
Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush
be kept at least six (6) feet away from
a toilet to avoid airborne particles
resulting from the flush.
(I keep my toothbrush in the living room now!)
Or you can just close the lid..........
