Hey all I just thought I would post this trivia I found on the paper adhesive part of the dreaded sanitary pads I had to use after my cervical biopsy last week (wasn't allowed to use tampons and of course I had to get my period a day later mad.gif ). Spose it makes for interesting reading while sitting on the throne laugh.gif so I thought I would share it with you to lighten my day....

Did you know that......

* Four Tablespoons of tomato sauce contains the nutritional equivalent of a medium sized tomato (thought this would be a good one to start with since it came off a sanitary pad LMAO)

* Tuna suffocate if they stop swimming (so when do they ever rest sad.gif )

* An igloo is so well insulated that you can sit inside without a coat when the outside temperature is as low as -30 degrees, brrrrrrrrrrrrr......

* The first VCR was made in 1956 and was the size of a piano........

* 90% of all living things in the sea are made up of plankton.........

* It takes a week to make jelly beans........

* Milk is heavier than cream (except when it sits on your hips)

* The US bought Florida from Spain (now you US ladies should be able to confirm this one for me)

* Brontology is the study of thunder........

* Fingernails grow faster on your favoured hand (and break easier cos it's the most used hand too I would suspect)

* The average adult eyeball weighs under 30 grams (like we needed to know that LOL)

* Podiatrists state that the average pair of feet travel about 190,000kms in a lifetime (sorry don't know how to convert that to miles)

* Clams have a row of eyes around their shells..........

* Owls are reportedly the only birds that can see the colour blue (now how did they find that out did they ask the Owl dry.gif )

* The left lung is smaller than the right, allowing room for your heart........

* Rabbits are born hairless and with closed eyes, hares are born covered with fur and with open eyes......

* In ancient Rome, oysters were so highly prized that they were sold for their weight in gold (they still are aren't they)

* The cashew nut belongs to the poison ivy family.........

* The cheetah is the only cat that can't retract it's claws.........

* If the stomach did not store food people would have to eat every 20 minutes (and we don't anyway LOL)

* Green tea has 50% more vitamin C than black tea.........

* 80% of all rose species in the world come from Asia.........

* A large cumulonimbus cloud can hold enough water for 500,000 baths........

* A myosphobic person has an intense fear of infection.........

* A building in which silence is enforced, like a library, is referred to as a silentium.........

* Botanically, true berries include the grape, tomato and eggplant, but not raspberries and blackberries (so what are they then if not berries unsure.gif )

And my favourite for last:

* During menstruation, the sensitivity of a woman's middle finger is reduced (go on everyone who is menstruating now, I bet you are testing that theory right now aren't you laugh.gif I know I did tongue.gif )

must have had one heck of a period! blink.gif
