As a substitute for Blood plasma.

Oh go ahead...I'll wait...

Fifty (50) years of age or older.
************

The first product to have a bar code
Was Wrigley's gum.
************

The King of Hearts is the only king
WITHOUT A MOUSTACHE
************

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one (1) olive
From each salad served in first-class.
************

Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.
(Since Venus is normally associated with women, what does this tell you?)
(That women are going in the 'right' direction...?)

************

A duck's quack doesn't echo,
And no one knows why.
************

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least

Six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

************
And the best for last...

So.......................


Remember, knowledge is everything, so pass it on.

And go move your toothbrush!
And stop folding that Damn paper!

Politicians can talk out of their butts, so they're much like turtles.

20 some years ago I saw a slow mo enhanced video of an open lid toilet flushing. Big mushroom cloud laden with fecal coliform bacteria.
only accurate watches are interesting

Good find. He wasn't convincing on the toilet flushing bit though. The video I saw was enough to convince me.

I agree, I've heard from several sources that it's like a mist when you flush, we always close the lid.

Good call. The Snopes entry for that one is quality:
Claim: A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.
Image FALSE

Anyone who has used the Internet more than a week has probably received at least one of those annoying lists of "facts": dozens and dozens of items of no real significance that somebody thought would be cool for you to know. It is indeed fortunate that the lists are usually composed of items of no real significance, because many of the entries are of dubious veracity. The purpose of these lists apparently is not to educate the masses (however trivially), but to induce readers into the information age equivalent of a scavenger hunt, sending them scurrying all over the Internet in an attempt to verify the truthfulness of the entries.
[...]
The winner (so far) of the Most Ludicrous Entry contest is the claim that a duck's quack doesn't echo. Unfortunately, it's also the item we're most frequently asked about.
