Did u know?

-A person cannot taste food unless it is mixed with saliva. For example, if strong-tasting substance like salt is placed on a dry tongue, the taste buds will not be able to taste it. As soon as a drop of saliva is added and the salt is dissolved, however, a definite taste sensation results. This is true for all foods. Try it!

Bad bacteria fishy... that's why whenever i see a group of kids sharing earphones ( eg one is wearing the left headphone, one is wearing the right) i always stop them and tell them that they're breeding bacteria and they shouldn't share earphones... and they walk away thinking i'm a crazy lady

But would you share them?? Especially the 'in ear canal' ones..... yerrchhhhh

The bee ancestry code: reproduction of a population of idealized bees

-If an egg is laid by an unmated female, it hatches a male.
-If, however, an egg was fertilized by a male, it hatches a female.
Thus, a male bee will always have one parent, and a female bee will have two.
