Did you know

*That cancer cures smoking
*That it is against the law in Oklahoma to hunt whales
*It is illegal to hunt camels in Arizona
*The custom of saying "Bless you" when someone sneezes was first used by ancients when they believed that breath was the essence of life, and when you sneeze a part of you life is escaping. Evil spirits rush into your body and occupy the empty space. By saying "God bless you" the speaker is protecting the sneezer from that spirits.
*The study of nose picking is called "rhinotillexomania."
*In South Africa, termites are often roasted and eaten by the handful, like pretzels or popcorn.
*March 14 is "Save a spider day." (ha! I do not celebrate this day)
