It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...But, not downstairs.
Escher figured it out.

Acorn production begins when the oak tree reaches 20 to 50 years of age. Production of acorns increases each year in proportion to the size of the oak tree’s canopy.
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
Well, of the phrase origins I’ve heard of, they’re all correct. Learned a few interesting ones, though.
We always put the lids down on the toilets in our house. No complaining about who left the seat up, and our toothbrushes are protected!
Nope. The mist of the flush is what causes the fecal bacteria to disperse. Even flushing with the lid closed will no prevent the dispersal of the bacteria. Myth Busters did a fine job of looking in to this myth.
confirmed
Fecal coliform were indeed found on all the test brushes, including the control ones. However, none were of a level high enough to be dangerous, and experts confirm that such bacteria are impossible to completely avoid.
Well, this is demonstrably false. As a result, I have a harder time believing the rest of them.
see my post #25
Correct about closing the toilet lid not helpful. My toothbrush is in the kitchen in a “germ terminator,” which sterilizes the brush. (Timer sets it to clean automatically twice a day.) My mouth feels much cleaner since I started this, but a cheaper solution for many is simply to keep the brush covered in the bathroom. Still I like to clean my brush for better health all around.
The correct statement is , an oak tree can take up to fifty years to produce acorns.
harder time believing...? so what?
You are still breathing in the fecal bacteria and it's on all the surfaces of the bathroom (at least). It cannot be avoided, and probably should not be totally avoided. You are not designed to live in a bacteria/virus free bubble.
3,3,5,4,4,3
What number comes next and why?
Cute, but probably not 100% right.
You might want to double check that “over a barrel” phrase.
Or maybe not.
Venus has the slowest rotational period (day) of 243 days
Okay, so where did “Fin” and “Sawbuck” come from?
Whenever we travel and while in Sierra Leone, we whisked our toothbrushes in Listerine or denatured alcohol before use.
Sometimes it tasted pretty terrible, but we were fairly confident the germs were gone.
Now I will probably start doing it again since all of this has freaked me out.
Good stuff!
Thanks for the knowledge
