Agreed, lenny.

Turn off video games and send your child to play with dirt. Dr. Chris Lowry, a brain scientist at Bristol University in England, found during an experiment with mice that mycobacterium vaccae, a special bacteria found in dirt, increase levels of the hormone serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a hormone that regulates moods. Dirt bacteria had a similar effect as Prozac, but without harmful side effects. Perhaps one of the many reasons we have an unusually high number of depressed children is the lack of old-fashioned dirt playing!

LOL!


The average person farts about 14 times per day and makes about a half liter of fart gas.

A fart can propel you in space
A fart can be frozen.
Much like your breath can be seen when the weather is cold, a fart can be seen in the same manner.
A fossilized fart has been discovered.

After the Battle of Gettysburg, the discarded rifles were collected and sent to Washington to be inspected and reissued. Of the 37,574 rifles recovered, approximately 24,000 were still loaded; 6,000 had one round in the barrel; 12,000 had two rounds in the barrel; 6,000 had three to ten rounds in the barrel. One rifle, the most remarkable of all, had been stuffed to the top with twenty-three rounds in the barrel.

We all like a man who gives a nice firm hand shake. However, you might want to think twice before returning the firm grip. Annually you will shake hands with 6 men who have recently masturbated and did not wash their hands.

There are a group of words called "Auto-Antonyms" or "Contronyms." These words have multiple meanings, at least two of which are opposite. Here are a few examples:

Dust: Since they were dirty, I dusted the countertops. (removed dust) The countertops were dusted with snow (covered with "dust")
Either: You either passed the test or failed it (not both). There are trees on either side of the river! (both)
Inflammable: Nitrogen is an inflammable gas (wont burn). Dont smoke near inflammable substances (will burn) (leads to a lot of confusion!!!)

Another example is "Cleave" which can be to firmly adhere or to slice apart. Which one do you think the word cleavage came from?!
