Thank you so much. Thank you.
I can't remember my license plate number to save my life, but that particular factoid, that I will take to the grave.

Well no shit, if you had been paying attention that explains it all.

Best fact I've learned this year.

In Edinburgh, Scotland, before indoor plumbing was invented, the towns people used to poop in a bucket and throw it out of the window into the street. Apparently the town council passed a law to say that you couldn't throw your "slops" out of the window before 10pm and when you did you had to give fair warning by shouting "gardez l'eau" (French for 'watch out, water') before heave-ho into the street. It just so happend that 10pm was kicking out time at the pubs so many a scotsman was wandering home half-cut after a few pints of McEwans export. Obviously, the more switched on folk would hear "gardez l'eau" and make a dash for the nearest doorway. However, the ones that were too drunk or to dumb to hide, tended to hear the words "gardez l'eau" and wondering where it came from, pointed their faces skywards looking for the source of the utterance. At which time, slopping out would commence and the poor Jock got a "real taste" of the city. And, I shit ye not, that is the origin of the phrase "shit faced" meaning falling-down drunk. So there you go.

I learned that babies who are fed mother's milk get more toxins into their system which cause cancer. (PCB etc)

Who knew?

A couple of stranger-than-fiction facts:

1. Long ago, Airtwardo was a young boy
2. Futuredivot was thin back in the day.
3. At one time, Sunny didn't know what "roadhead" was.
4. Hans was not a DZO and had all his hair.
5. Villy Bance was actually sane.

My reality and yours are quite different.

The toxins in breastmilk says something about our environment and products.

Mother's milk is still way better than formula for babies.
