The reason people originally freaked out over bird flu was because it could mutate and get in pigs, which could give it to humans...

But the pigs one-upped those feathered freaks.

MSG can also be called "Hydrolyzed soy protein". In fact, any hydrolyzed protein is considered MSG. Also, if any package says "No MSG" or "No added MSG" then it's probably a lie. Look at the ingredients. If it says monosodium glutemate or has any kind of hydrolyzed protein in it, then it has MSG.

Also, Funyuns (sp?) and most, if not all flavors of Doritos have MSG. Not that I personally care, I love Funyuns and Doritos.

( hmmm, I thought MSG was a salt, and not a protein) Both come from soy beans.

Swine flu was supposed to have come to America back in 1974, so the US government had vaccine makers make a bunch to prepare the elderly for flu season, and the swine flu didn't show up, and the flu shots were completely useless. The flu that came that winter was completely different than predicted. oops.

after you brush your teeth, if you rinse with a glass of water with a ton of salt in it. it will burn most of the missed plaque. but you should brush again after that. just to get rid of the salt which can corrode your teeth. it takes a lot longer, but the shine is pretty

If you play WoW, do not expect to get all the Brewfest achievements unless you have Wrath of the Lich King and are level 80. I was sadly disappointed when I found out I have to wait until next year to get the Brewmaster title and mounts. Unless I can manage to get a computer that can handle WotLK and get from level 65 to level 80 in a week and a half......I'm depressed.....

OMG, i forgot about brewfest! lemme go get my drinking cap and outfit!
there is 66 milligrams of caffeine in a 10 oz bottle of bawls.
there are (avg) 145 milligrams of caffeine in a 8 ounce cup of coffee (drip)

so in reality, the BAWLS "energy drink" actually has less then a 8 ounce cup of coffee.

prison terms for rock cocaine are still harsher than for powder cocaine. Which just happens to be the seeming preferences of blacks and whites.

The Slinky was by naval engineer Richard James. He was trying to create a spring that could support and stabilize sensitive equipment aboard ship in rough seas. He accidentally knocked a spring off a shelf and it "walked" down the shelves and recoiled itself on the floor. He then thought, "I can make a toy out of this...." And the rest, as they say, is history.

In early stages of the Earth's existence, plants were dangerous parasites that expelled a dangerous gas, O₂, which could cause otherwise harmless minerals and mineral compounds to enter explosive chemical reactions.

A chunk of pure calcium (sodium does this as well) will explode when placed into water. I watched a video of a guy throwing a chunk of calcium into a pond and it shot straight up and made a sound as loud as a gunshot, came back down into the pond. It kept doing that until the calcium had dissolved. In fact, any mineral that belongs to the far left column of the periodic table will do this. They are known as the alkali metals and all react explosively to water. Waaay cooler than vinegar and baking soda, but also more expensive.

It's because they're not pure calcium. They have other compounds in them that prevent the reaction. At least I'm 99% sure that's why.
