<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Bread has been proven to absorb
water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows
that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this
absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding
person. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">When buttons were invented, they
were very expensive and worn primarily by the rich. Because wealthy
women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the buttons on the maid's
right. Since most people are right-handed, it is easier to push buttons
on the right through holes on the left. And that's where women's
buttons have remained since. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">A law passed in Nebraska in 1912
really set down some hard rules of the road. Drivers in the country at
night were required to stop every 150 yards, send up a skyrocket, then
wait eight minutes for the road to clear before proceeding cautiously,
all the while blowing their horn and shooting off
flares.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">The French national anthem, "La
Marseillaise," derived its title from the enthusiasm of the men of
Marseilles, France, who sang it when they marched into Paris at the
outset of the French Revolution. Rouget de l'Isle, its composer, was an
artillery officer. According to his account, he fell asleep at a
harpsichord
and dreamt the words and the music. Upon waking, he remembered
the entire piece from his dream and immediately wrote it down.</span></span></div>

The <strong>earliest recorded evidence of an earthquake</strong> has been
traced back to 1831 BC in the Shandong province of China, but there is a
fairly complete record starting in 780 BC during the Zhou Dynasty in
China.

When the Chilean earthquake occurred in 1960, seismographs
recorded seismic waves that traveled all around the Earth. These
seismic waves shook the entire earth for many days! This phenomenon is
called the free oscillation of the Earth.

That's right, a recent study of 5,000 pot <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9">smokers</span>
by UCSF and University of Alabama showed that those who only smoke a
few joints a week actually had stronger lung capacity and external
blowing force than non-users. A 2005 UCLA paper also shows that
marijuana smoke might actually help to PREVENT lung cancer. Unlike
tobacco, which contains nicotine and is a known carcinigen, marijuana
contains cannibinoids and THC, which seem to discourage cancer. It is
also impossible to die of an overdose. Put that in your pipe and smoke
it.<br />

Rainbow flavored ice cream, with its bright, swirly colors and sweet,
icy freshness – how could it be anything but a favorite childhood
memory? Just looking at the stuff is sure to bring on nostalgic wave of
hot summer days at the beach, snacks before movies, and long trips in
the car with your parents.<br />
<br />
Ice cream lovers, block your ears: what most of you don’t know is
that “rainbow” ice cream is actually mere vanilla ice cream, with a few
food colors thrown in. I discovered this from a friend who works at an
international chain-store ice creamery; and now that you too have
learned the shocking truth, you’ll find that the next time you taste a
“rainbow” ice cream, you’re tasting nothing but ruined childhood and
vanilla.</div>

The name Santa Claus is synonymous with Christmas time, the Christian
celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Actually, many elements of the
Santa Claus story hold very little Christian relevance. The fat, happy
Santa of our childhood memories is actually based on the fearsome Norse
god of war – Odin.</div>

"seven" you will notice that the 7 has a line through the middle of it.
That was the way the Arabic 7 was originally written, and in Europe and
certain other areas they
still write the 7 that way. Also, in the military, they commonly
write it that way. </span></div>

America, where she had been on safari in local rainforest, began to
experience severe pains in her left ear, accompanied by headaches,
dizziness and constant rustling

that exploratory surgery was required, which revealed that a spider
which had become trapped in her ear. Eventually it had eaten through her
eardrum and was living within the aural
cavity. The rustling sounds were from the spider crawling
around inside her skull. An egg sac was also removed.</span></div>
