On a lighter note......

Seems as though we have been getting heavy with our posts lately (actually only the last two, but you know I can only do heavy in doses) so to lighten the mood....per the email I sent you earlier. (Now you know that I don't have any research whatsoever to back any of this up...)

***Donkeys kill more people than plane crashes?
This floored me. Surely they are not talking about in this country, this has got to be a worldwide figure. I mean, seriously, do we even HAVE donkeys in this country? Weren't they replaced by John Deere tractors?

****You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.
This is not hard to believe. I mean, if you have ever slept in the same bed as me (which you haven't) it is like a boxing match all night long. :-) I have killer dark circles as proof too. I don't sleep well at all. And apparently, I shout out random things like "SEPARATE!" during my few periods of sleep. I hope me shouting out random things in my sleep does not become a habit. I may never sleep again......

**** A duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why.
Mythbusters says differently. Sheesh people, try to keep up.


****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 can't even begin to approach this subject this close to lunchtime. I will say Thank the Lord for small miracles and that small miracle being that we have a SoniCare and since it has to be plugged in, it is a safe 8-10 feet away from the toilet. Makes you wonder about bathrooms that don't have six feet to spare. Should you just hang your toothbrush outside the door?


****Turtles can breathe through their butts.
They also talk out of their ass too. Have you ever met a Maryland Terrapin fan?

Yeah the donkey thing has got to be a worldwide statistic. Im guessing most of these donkey deaths are a result of being kicked by one, but I guess if they sat on you, it would probably kill too.

I don’t agree with the burning calories watching tv vs. sleeping thing. The way I look at it, when Im watching tv, my fingers are exercising by changing the channels on the remote, and my legs are exercising every 15min when I get up to go grab some more chips and another beer, so I just don’t see how sleeping is more beneficial.

How do they know that a duck’s quack doesn’t echo, hell it doesn’t even have time to quack from the time I pull the trigger to when the bullet reaches him. Also the sound of the shotgun probably drowns out the quack.

The toothbrush thing is a bunch of garbage too. Just think about how many times you flush that toilet while still sitting on it (that means your mouth is less than 3ft from the bowl and your breathing all those germs) so I say the hell with it. Also my toilet is in a separate room from my sink so I guess that helps some.

Turtles and butts………………no comments, except for this: we all know that “A butthole gristle makes a meat skin whistle”
