Topic: Weebles SHOULD fall down
Show me the blog!
No vocabulary today. Not too much information. I am over
processing a lot of you and that just doesn't seem fair, does it?
How about just entertainment? It's Monday, afterall. And who
wants to think on a day like today? I can't even come up with
anything that is just running loose somewhere in my brain!!
Urban Legends
Lies! "No one knows why" = crock o'shyte.
? A duck's quack doesn't echo,
and no one knows why. False ?
? Ostrich eggs have no yolks, and no one knows why. False ?
? The Great Wall of China is visible from space (and no one knows why, LOL). False?
? Banging your head against a solid wall really hurts, and no
one knows why. True and yes,
we know why.?
Perhaps one fact:
?Scientists have identified only 4,000 different viruses, a fraction of the
estimated 400,000 believed to exist on Earth.?
This is just interesting:
Redheads
need 20% more painkillers
A University of Washington in Louisville study reported that
natural redheads are more susceptible to pain and need more
anesthesia when they go under the knife than do people with other
hair colors. This confirms what anesthesiologists have suspected
all along - that redheads can be a little harder to put under
than others.
Scientists explained that redheads have a "defective
receptor" for melanin, a pigment responsible for tanning.
This same melanocortin-1 receptor cross-reacts with a related
receptor on brain cells that influences pain sensitivity. Ouch!

HA! How many redheads???? I know one for a fact (and you know who you are) who fits this very description of painkillers and low tanning levels, although her arms aren't as pale as she would like, hair stick em up! Weebles should NOT fall down, and the ostrich yolk information should be put to good use....have the Jackass crew have a hard-boiled ostrich egg eating contest!!!
