    I don't think medics stick a bottle-washer down the urethra, not these days @CT. Never did in '95, 'a spot which you should wash more often, should go away in due course.' Why we have a National Health Service, brilliant nurses or a male nurse which I put down as an 'experience,' I'm open-minded.

    The 'actors' thrust way too fast. As a man I know to take it slowly for both reasons.

    Is it just me or do these online forums always seem to degenerate to topics of food, politics, or sex?

    Unable to pee for a while, generally. Until things relax a little...

    (Same for women, in my limited experience.)

    Back to useless facts....

    A 747 airliner carries 57,285 gallons with full tanks. Jet fuel runs about $1.40/ gallon. (Bulk pricing, I assume) Maybe I won't feel so bad next time I fill up.

    That was actually really interesting to read. And it seems that lenses are more complicated than I thought. Thanks for the article. :)

    You've heard that old 'I before E' rule, I'm sure. Funny how there are only 44 words in the English language that conform, while 923 words go against the rule.

    Did you know in both pool/billiards and golf, 100% of the shots hit short, fail to go in the hole?

    The 1992 Lithuanian Olympic basketball team was not going to be able to compete, since they lacked money for uniforms, so the Grateful Dead sponsored them and provided gear to play in.

    Wind up bird press is sitting on a book titled '60 years later; Coming through the rye', an alleged sequal to J.D. Salinger's 'Catcher in the rye'. 60 years later was written by Frederik Colting under the pen name J.D.California. Salinger sued, and a court injunction prevents the 60years later book being released in any form in North America until Catcher is the rye copyrights enter public domain.

    Those air cushion type brushes work well if you have long wavy hair that likes to knot up.

    That's only useless because it's not a fact. :D At least, not for this person with long wavy hair that likes to knot up.

    Not for the germaphobes.

    Well a high percentage of money in circulation has trace amounts
    of drug residue, and various bodily fluids on it. (At least the paper money does.)
    So that means the bills in your wallet at some point came into contact
    with at least one stripper cooch, and a maybe even a drug addicts sticky meth fingers. :p
