Stuff I Learned Today

• not to let bright-eyes tie stuff in my hair
• the major supplier of oil to the US is NOT a middle eastern country
• Source amnesia, a curious neurological separation between storage of facts and their source, may cause one to re-process a false statement from a non-credible source as true as time passes
  
• weekends are NOT good times for catching up on stuff
• when making guacamole, too little lime is better than too much... a good recipe is 2 avocados, half a lime (squeezed), chopped red onion, chopped tomato, chopped cilantro, garlic salt
  
• Average number of vials for snake bite treatment is 12. At a *wholesale* cost of $1,572 per vial, this makes the average treatment: $18,864.
  
• Squirrels can hold a lot sticks in their mouth at once. But why?
  
• You only need the first and last letter of a word to be in the right place to read it, the rest can be a random jumble.
