A 'jiffy' is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.
Any month that starts on a Sunday will have a Friday the 13th in it.It's never too late to become the person you always thought you would be.Comment

Re: the more you know
you know that film you get on the inside of your car windshield? even if you don't smoke? it's given off by the plastic in your car. you'll get more film in the summer because the heat activates the vapors in plastic more rapidly. newer cars are the worst offenders, over time the plastic wears and doesn't give off as much. go find a really old car made mostly of metal with a wood dash, and you will have clean windows year round. that vapor btw, is also a big part of "that new car smell."

Re: the more you know
that's not what I was told/heard....God Bless You originated when people sneezed as people believed at that your soul escaped from your body for a moment and saying God bless you would protect your soul from harm...
Here's a definition I found...
Another version says that people used to believe that your soul can be thrown from your body when you sneeze,[1], that sneezing otherwise opened your body to invasion by the Devil [2] or evil spirits,[4] or that sneezing was your body's effort to force out an invading evil spirit[1]. Thus, "bless you" or "God bless you" is used as a sort of shield against evil.sigpic

Re: the more you know
i always heard the plague thing.
what's grosser than the humans eating 8 spiders in their lifetime is this:
scientists say just through average yearly human water consumption, we drink more than a kilo of e coli bacteria, which is found in shit. yep, we drink a kilo of poop a year. next time someone says you're full of shit, remember, you actually are.

Never tried it but apparently if you keep a goldfish in the dark room it will eventually turn white.
Anyone up for trying it out? If so, take pics!sigpic

Did you know that the Bighorn Sheeps horns weigh more than the combined weight of the animals bones?
