You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

~ Laurence J. Peter~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Dead people can still get erections.


It's so common for dead bodies to get erections, there's actually a term for it: "angel lust." This is most likely to happen after a sudden death in a vertical or face-down position. That could make for an awkward funeral.

Your cell phone has more germs than your toilet seat.


Next time you put your phone up to your face, just imagine you're laying cheek right on the porcelain throne. Scientists have found that cell phones carry more than 10 times the bacteria of a toilet seat. Once you stop to think about all the places your phone has been, it makes a lot of sense. But never was there better motivation to wipe down your phone every night.

The "D" in "D-Day" stands for "day."


You may have thought the "D" in "D-Day" stood for "death," "doom," or any number of menacing words. But the truth is not quite as auspicious. The "D" is actually just a designation for the date on any important military operation. So, by some interpretations, D-Day literally means "Day-Day."

Bearcat urine smells like buttered popcorn.

The next time you walk into a movie theater and your mouth starts to water, you should know that you're smelling the exact same scent as bearcat urine. These Southeast Asian mammals cover their feet and tails in their unique-smelling urine to let other bearcats know their presence. That urine contains the same compound, 2-AP, that is found in buttered popcorn. Delicious.

Abraham Lincoln's dog was also assassinated.


President Abraham Lincoln had a yellow, mixed-breed dog named Fido. (Which, by the way, some researchers say is why the name is so popular.) A year after the president's assassination, Fido was also killed. The dog reportedly jumped onto a drunken man sitting on a curb. In an intoxicated rage, the man stabbed the poor pup.

Wombats poop in cubes.

Nature has many marvels, and among them are the amazing cubic poops of wombats. This adorable animal deposits its feces in perfect cube shapes. The reasoning isn't (as some might suspect) because their buttholes are shaped like squares, but rather because of their long and slow digestive process. You never know, cube-shaped poops could be the next big trend.

The traditional shape of the heart was inspired by an ancient form of birth control.


Obviously, the hearts we cut out for Valentine's Day cards are not anatomically correct. One theory about the shape's origin is that it came from silphium, a type of fennel that the ancient Greeks and Romans used for medicine, food-flavoring, and most popularly, birth control. In fact, the plant is extinct now because they were using so much of it. Silphium seeds were shaped like our modern day heart, and the city of Cyrene even put the shape on its money.

A cockroach can live for weeks after its head has been cut off.


It probably makes you shudder to think about, but cockroaches are ridiculously resilient. Because cockroaches have an open circulatory system, when a roach's head is cut off its body simply seals at the wound. As for breathing, they use tiny holes throughout their body called spiracles to breathe directly into the tissue, Plus, cockroaches require much less food than we do, so they would be able to last for weeks before starving.

All cereal box mascots are looking down.


The next time you go to the cereal aisle in your grocery store, pay attention to the eyes on the boxes. You won't be able to un-notice that every mascot is looking down. The reason? So they can make eye contact with children. By doing this, they grab kids' attention and establish feelings of trust, making children more likely to ask their parents to buy a box of cereal. A brilliant marketing strategy, or mind control?

Jelly beans are coated with insect secretions.


Most jelly beans (as well as candy corn) are coated with shellac, a substance made out of the secretions of the female kerria lacca, an insect from Thailand. Often, you'll see shellac billed as "confectioner's glaze" in the ingredients list. It's what makes jelly beans so shiny. Just keep that in mind next time you reach for the candy jar.

Humanity has fa*rted approximately 17 quadrillion times over the course of human history.

The average human being fa*rts 14 times a day. So, Deadspin took that statistic one step further and calculated that there have been approximately 17 quadrillion human fa*rts over the course of history. Next time you let one rip, you'll be adding to the tally.

In Victorian England, people used to take photographs with their loved ones' dead bodies.

In the 19th century, mourning was fashionable and photography was becoming increasingly affordable. Those factors combined led to the morbid practice of death photography. People saw it as their final chance to have the likeness of the deceased preserved, writes the BBC. In these unsettling photos, the bodies often just look like they're sleeping or happened to blink.

One kiss transfers more than 80 million germs.


That's right, one study published in the journal Microbiome found that in one 10-second French kiss, more than 80 million microbes are transferred between partners. How romantic! But before you get too alarmed, scientists actually think kissing might be designed to boost the immune system by sharing bacteria. So go ahead, smooch to your heart's content, this one's a WTF fact that's totally harmless.

Good morning everyboomie. wave2


Jelly bean anyone? snicker


Are you guys tired of Christmas commercials already, like I am? Good grief Charley Brown! hardwall


Even the Post Office is jumping in already with Christmas commercials. razz


Today was seriously unspring-like here. Rainy, cold, and gale force winds. We were 32 degrees at 5:30 and 19 degrees with the wind chill. penguin


I only stepped out on the porch to feed the cats. Missy went almost 20 hours without a potty. She didn't want to go out. lol


I did NOT make my run to Walmart, and Tuesday is supposed to be colder. yes


Have a cozy day everyone. A happy....cozy day. woot
