Useless Facts

I've seen this like five times and I read it every time because it's just so cute.

 

In the spirit of Thanksgiving may I introduce to you the Australian Bushturkey:

They build massive mounds for nests.

 

Fun fact: there was a while in Western fashion when women didn't have underwear but men did. Just covered in dressed with stockings and stuff.

 

I haven't been going to Facebook in a while. While I can't (and shouldn't) stop my Facebook friends from posting political stuff, it does get tiring after a while.

 

I'm very political when I'm not being Iain, but I just got exhausted by it all and suspended my primary account last night.

 

Apparently you can buy an entire Jeep chassis at Walmart for under $5000. (I’d have included the link, but it three posts long.)

 

I might need one.

 

They have 2 in stock.
ETA; when the popup ad pops up again, I’ll be sure to note the SKU#.

 

You don't need a medical license for IV saline, which you would
need for anything else. Apparently saline is not a 'drug' by definition.

 

I actually needed to know that. That's goin in both stories!

 

One of my buddies took a Combat Lifesaver course when he was in the Army. Doesn't make you a medic, just more qualified than the average Boy Scout (and the first aid I learned in the Marines that I didn't already know from Scouting was how to treat a sucking chest wound).

Anyway, the Combat Lifesaver course taught them to do saline IVs, which he told me they promptly abused to lower their BACs after drinking. More non-alcoholic fluid in your bloodstream, lower percentage of alcohol, officer.

I do not recommend this.

 

That sounds unpleasant and expensive. How much does IC saline cost and what's the cheapest way to do it? Medical seems like it would be expensive to aid an alcohol habit; which in of itself is a potential money sink

 

Not expensive at all. The more you buy the better the per unit cost gets. My wife buys enough at a crack to get it down to a $1.50 a bag. The trick is using it all before it expires.

 

I missed the "at a" in that sentence on the first read.

 

It was when he was serving in the Army, so it came out of tax dollars I guess.

 

Me too and I was thinking what a great price.

 

I'm not versed in these things, got chased out of one of those places for trying to buy a dime bag.



What?

 

I’m in Ohio; meth and heroine rule here. Crack is so Detroit.

 

Detroit is so Robocop.

 

I'm reading an article called "Forbidden Books From Around The World: 2019"
Apparently, the most forbidden book in Italy as of 2019, is the childrens picture book "Little Blue and Little Yellow" by Leo Leonni about a blue circle and a yellow circle who hug one another and turn green



ADDITION:
Satanic Verses is forbidden in Kuwait, Sri Lanka, Senegal, Liberia, Kenya, Papau New Guinea, and Tanzania

and Avengers: The Children's Crusades is forbidden in Brazil because of Hulkling and Wiccan's kiss (after the ban, booksellers sold out of the comic)

Is that the guy who did the video about Horrible Histories?

 

If you wear a banana peel on your head for two weeks, it'll turn to solid gold.

[That may be something I read in a Little Lulu comic book.]

 

When bees sting you, their asses break off and they die.
