A cup of this...a teaspoon of that...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
18 million courses of antibiotics are prescribed
for the common cold in the United States per year.
Research shows that colds are caused by viruses.
Fifty million unnecessary antibiotics are prescribed
for viral respiratory infections.

In Greek legend, malicious creatures
called Kallikantzaroi (also spelled Kallikantzari)
sometimes play troublesome pranks at Christmas time.
According to the legend,
to get rid of them, you should burn either salt or an old shoe.
Apparently the stench of the burning shoe (or salt)
drives off the Kallikantzaroi.
Other effective methods include hanging a pig's jawbone
by the door and keeping a large fire
so they can't sneak down the chimney.

When a queen bee lays the fertilized eggs
that will develop into new queens,
only one of the newly laid queens actually survives.
The first new queen that emerges from her cell
destroys all other queens in their cells
and, thereafter, reigns alone.

Pandas spend about 12 hours a day eating bamboo.

A study of New York marathoners a few years ago
found that their divorce rate – male and female
– was twice the national average.
Persons that engage in solitary endurance sports
are the ones most likely to be compulsive exercisers
– for example, joggers, long-distance swimmers,
weight-lifters, and cross-country skiers.
Occasionally, devotees of these activities set unrealistic,
ambitious goals and then drive themselves
mercilessly to reach them.

Running late. Gremlins were at work first thing this morning.
After connection came back,
I had some pings and FReepmails to deal with.
And just finished the morning post.
So here I am...for now.
Sure hope I'm back on Canteen schedule next week.
Cold is almost gone...feeling somewhat better.

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come in, sit down.
Grab a cup of joe, or tasty tea.
Mingle a bit, chat with the troops
or family member. There's always plenty of conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS in the FR Canteen.

REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
