Oh boy, these are going to be fun answers! Probably not right, but fun nonetheless. Okay, here we go...

1. George Washington did indeed wear dentures made of wood...cherrywood...but that was just coincidence. Because he really didn't chop down a cherry tree. Those didn't show up in the DC area until nearly 50 years after his death.

2. If a shark stops swimming, it will not necessarily sink to the bottom of the ocean. It will, however, suffocate. Sharks need streams of water moving constantly across their gills to 'breathe'.

3. You may be taller in the morning, but that's not natural.

4. The Great Wall of China is definitely visible to the naked eye from outer space. But make sure your eye is the only thing that's naked, because Mission Control in Houston has hidden cameras on board.

5. Apple seeds do contain cyanide. Just ask Johnny Appleseed. Oh, wait. You can't. He's dead. See what I mean?

Okay, Nana said that dinner is ready. Be back to answer the rest shortly!!

The Waggle Dance

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: John 4:27-36

Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. —John 4:29

How do bees lead one another to nectar? Scientists say it’s all about the “waggle” dance. The theory was regarded with skepticism when it was first proposed by Nobel Prize-winning zoologist Karl von Frisch in the 1960s. But now, researchers in the United Kingdom have used tiny radar responders attached to worker bees to support von Frisch’s theory. They’ve confirmed that the bee orients its body toward the food source and uses the intensity of its waggle dance to signal the distance to other bees.

The woman who met Jesus at Jacob’s well also found a way to lead the rest of her community to what she had found—living water (John 4:10). They were drawn to discover why this woman with five ex-husbands and a current live-in was saying, “Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did” (v.29).

As the crowd was on its way, the One who on other occasions had called Himself “the bread of life” (6:48) was telling His disciples that His food was found in doing the will of God (4:32,34).

Jesus is living water and food for our soul. Joining Him to do the will of God and finish the work He has given us to do is the ultimate source of nourishment. 

Keep your witness bright and clear,
So the world may see and hear
God’s salvation far and near,
That others too may know Him. —Hess

When you have found food for your soul lead others to the Source.

Bible in One Year:   2 Kings 22-23; John 4:31-54

Many people do attribute the invention of the toilet to Thomas Crapper while he was a big fish in the bowl he wasn't the only one swimming there.

The "Silent Valveless Water Waste Preventer" (No. 814) was a siphonic discharge system that allowed a toilet to flush effectively when the cistern was only half full. British Patent 4990 for 1819 was issued to a Mr. Albert Giblin for this product.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

[laurenmarlowe]

That is correct, he did NOT invent the toilet!
