Wash your hands!

We've all heard that we should wash our hands after using the bathroom, before preparing or eating food, and other times during our daily routines. But how many actually do so? Take a guess before reading this article about handwashing.

One note about the article: it indicates a nice increse in the number of hand washers done since the last time this study was done, and implies that a campaign to promote handwashing aided in this. I suspect, though, that there is an age-based bias when it comes to washing hands -- younger people were more likely indoctrinated into hand washing than older people, so as those older people are dying off, we see an increase in the ratio of hand washers to hand non-washers.

Important note: Flu virus can live up to two hours on your hands, and up to twenty minutes on hard surfaces such as door knobs!

Did you ever...

Did you ever see a post and think, "what were they thinking? Why would they post something like that?" And then of course you post it so people can see what somebody else had the audacity to post, all the while going, boy, I'd sure never post something like that...

What prompted this? A link to this book at amazon

But of course, I'm not going to post it because it was just well, not something I can imagine anybody posting.

True Love (humor)

"Order of the Stick" is a humorous Dungeons and Dragons based comic strip featuring a band of adventurers going on, well, adventures. In their recent exploits, they find a woman at a dirt farm (yes, a dirt farm), bemoaning the capture of her husband. The Order of the Stick rescues the husband. True love is what happens when the couple is reunited.
