Just Stick to the Facts People

I heard something on the radio today that surprised me so much, I had to research it when I got home. AND come to find out...yes, it was true.

In 2006, apparently it cost $1.21 to produce ONE penny. WHAT!?

Which led me to delve into some other strange albeit true things out there.

Don'tcha know:

Dr. Ruth Westheimer (yes, the sex therapist) served as a sniper in Israel in the 1940s. As a teenager, she was a member of the Israeli underground, and was an expert marksman and grenade thrower.

Dentists have recommended that toothbrushes be kept at least six feet from toilets to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. GROSS! (Mine is, by the way...your's will be too, now.)

It's illegal to have sex while in a moving ambulance in Tremonton, Utah. A parked ambulance is another story.

Deer sleep only 5 minutes a day. No wonder they are so "jumpy" and tense.

Cows sweat through their noses.

China has close to 25% of the world's population. Talk about claustrophobia.

Attila the Hun was dubbed the great conqueror of the world. So did he die in a great battle? No... Of a nose bleed on his wedding night.

It takes 17 muscles to smile and 43 to frown. I KNEW I was right telling my kids it took a lot more work to be mean to someone than to be nice!

Finally, and this one I'm having a hard time believing...

In his will, Noah gave the entire world to his three sons. Did he really think it was HIS to give? Chill Noah.


There. Now you know more than you did 5 minutes ago. You're welcome. :-)
