- in the 19th century, scientists warned against the so-called "bicycle face": they thought the head-wind could deform human faces
- the world record in nonstop-hiccups is 69 years (omg!)
- in New York there are still some water-pipes made of bamboo in use.
- in Germany (don't know about other countries) the original green-coloured Haribo gummibears taste of strawberry.
- when cows eat too many carrots, the milk gets pink.
- a four-year old asks 400 questions a day.

| I wonder why the milk turns pink, when carrots are orange? Hmmm. I guess farmers have to be really careful what cows eat. I read a book once where the cows found some wild garlic in a pasture and the dairy customers complained that the milk tasted terrible. The entire force of dairy workers stood side by side and searched the entire pasture to search for and destroy any wild garlic they found. |

This is what I found staring at me from my lava lamp. (Yes, I have a lava lamp, no jokes please. It makes a good night light if I have to get up in the middle of the night.) It looks even spookier in the dark.

It looks like an alien fetus.
Or if you look at it straight on it's a creepy face staring at you with little red eyes and a surprised "Oh!" mouth. He has some sort of growth on his face. Maybe that's the alien fetus. |

| That's the way I see it, a face with an OH! mouth and age spots on his forehead. It gave me the creeps when I turned it on the other night. |
