Randomness


--Disclaimer--
Not one of these have been taken from anywhere that can be considered a legitimate reference. I can only attest to the first one.
-------------

According to my 4 year old, "When someone kisses another someone, it means they are married"

An average 4 year old asks, on average, 437 questions a day.

Every day, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents.

On average people eat 8 live spiders in their lifetime.

The wingspan of the Boeing 747 is longer then the Wright brother's first flight.

Nondairy creamer is flammable.

A skunks smell can be detected by a human a mile away.

Children grow faster in the springtime.

In Michigan it is illegal for a woman to cut her own hair without her husbands permission.

And in Pennsylvania it is illegal to sing in your bathtub.

I wonder how they discovered that non-dairy creamer was flammable. Was someone smoking and drinking coffee at the same time?

I always wonder how people come up with certain things...

Who was the first person that saw a chicken and said, "I'm going to eat the next thing that comes out of it's butt"

Or who thought to eat truffles?

Or maggot cheese? Seriously, maggot cheese?

Ok, have to stop...getting sick.

lol I just said the chicken thing not too long ago on another thread!! its like strange

When you think of meds, its also weird. Lamictal has cyanides/insecticide, rust and some other strange chemicals in it (I posted the complete list in my diary thread: Diary of and Epileptic, in the library) and put them all together. now half that stuff is deadly but who thought to put it all together and make someone take it and why does it have a positive effect if the individual ingreadiants can kill you?

hmm....I like curiosity.

And who would think that giving rat poising (Coumadin) to people with heart disease would help them? Yes, I know it thins your blood, but how? By killing cells off???
