Default Current Short Facts

A few that I thought were &


A study of fast food resteraunts in Washington State before and after a labeling law was enacted found that posting calorie counts made no difference in how much people ate.


A road experiment made by a Dutch and French team found that performance impairment after three hours of continuous night driving was equivalent to driving drunk with a .08% BAC.


Enviromental scientists repoort that 45% of tap water taken from 18 different countries around the world contained live amoebas.


Medical researchers in Japan report that a trained dog sniffing human stool samples can detect colorectal cancer about as well as a colonoscopy.

Dogs will voluntarily sniff each others butts and eat turds off of the ground. I doubt a big whiff of human poo is that much of a strain for them.

I have no idea which one of those facts couldve made you mad enough to start personal attacks, but your question could be asked to anyone thats on during the day on a regular basis, including yourself.

And for the record, I have two currenty and am in the process of finding a third.
