Who Cares Friday 4


It's been awhile since I did a "Who Cares Friday" so...it's Friday!


SCUBA divers cannot pass gas at depths of 33 feet or below. (did they try?)

Smearing a small amount of dog feces on an insect bite will relieve the itching and swelling. (who figured that one out?)

Although difficult, it's possible to start a fire by rapidly rubbing together two Cool Ranch Doritos. (survival facts you only get here!)

The first McDonald's restaurant opened for business in 1952 in Edinburgh, Scotland, and featured the McHaggis sandwich. (I wonder if they'll come out with the McCain sandwich?)

To human taste buds, Zima is virtually indistinguishable from zebra urine. (really?)

4,000 people are injured by tea pots every year. (that's why I drink coffee.)

In an average day, a four year old child will ask 437 questions. (oh yeah!  That's true!)

If you yelled for 8 years ,7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough energy to heat a cup of coffee. (I think my kids are trying that.)

In downtown Lima, Peru, there is a large brass statue dedicated to Winnie-the-Pooh. (Lima's got issues.) 

2,500 left handers die each year using products designed for right handers. (sucks to be left handed I guess.)

Americans spend around $3 billion for cat and dog food a year. (I contribute to that.)

When a horned toad is angry, it squirts blood from its eyes. (My ex girlfriend could do that!)

Hope you had a laugh and learned something too.  All without staying at a Holiday Inn Express!

Who Cares!!
