I am full of useless knowledge and so to keep my brain cells full of nothing, I have been relying on Wikipedia for informational purposes. As I research the meanings, origins, and definitions of words and yes this is for a certain purpose but that's for another post, I have found some pretty fun facts that at my age thought that someone in my social studies or science class should have taught me in school. I mean why in the world would I rely on myself to do such things?
First, did you know that one tree produces about 100 pounds and 83 million rolls of toilet paper a day. Which only means that the whole world is full of shit.
Although mouthwash, relieves bad breath and kills some types of organisms in our mouth, it does not last long enough to kill all germs and disease throughout the day. Which only means the whole world has a potty mouth.
Tampons originated from the medieval French word tampion, meaning a piece of cloth to stop a hole, a stamp,plug, or stopper. Which only means every woman hits a hole in one.
Soap is made up of fatty oils and lubricants which takes its name from Mount Sapo where animal sacrifices had taken place. Which only means one stint in jail and you will learn the term soap on a rope.
And finally it's a known fact that chewing gum does not stay in your stomach for 7 years. So guess what? Yo momma lied. Which only means you can tell her to blow it out her ass.
So kids, I hoped you enjoyed this little history lesson. These are deep thoughts I don't have very often but thought that if I shared, my wisdom will be your gain. Or you could tell me to blow it out my ass, but that wouldn't be very nice now would it?
Hey, Monday,
Dusty
I knew that thing about the gum not staying in your stomach, but I heard that the icing in oreos stay in your stomach for two weeks before your body can digest it. I don't know if that is to make me not want oreos, but it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteyep, totes calling my mother tonight!! gesh! LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are all things that are imperative to know. I'm so glad you enlightened me this morning.
ReplyDeleteI treasure your tampon knowledge!
ReplyDeletehahahahhaaa, I had no idea one tree produced 83 million rolls of toilet paper! CrayCray.
ReplyDeleteMy life is now complete now that I know these facts. You never know when you might need them on a game show or something. Not that it's my dream to be on a game show (it is).

Oh my goodness, Dusty. This is highly informative. I never would have known we were all potty mouths who were so full of shit, but I guess I would have eventually figured it out, given the people who walk into my office every day. You just provided the facts to back it up!
ReplyDeleteI swallowed my gum yesterday. Good to know its on it's way out!
ReplyDeleteSo much knowledge. So, so much. Deep thoughts by Dusty!
ReplyDeletePoor trees...on the other hand, thank you Mr. Tree. I shudder to think what we'd have to use without you. LOL Dusty, you're just a wealth of information girl...keep enlightening us with that entertaining knowledge. :)
ReplyDeleteNow, the thing with the Oreo's - I had no idea. Damn, I love Oreo's!
I'm so happy to hear that my gum is not piling up in my insides however if gum isn't my problem...I wonder what is?
ReplyDelete"Which only means you can tell her to blow it out her ass." Oh how I've missed you Dusty! Thank you Thank you Thank you for filling my head with these funny facts! HAPPY MONDAY! Hope you are off to a beautiful week!

one day i'll win jeopardy because of this blog post. and then i'll give you a shout out.
ReplyDeleteThis is just about as funny as my co-worker having a "honey boo boo child" ringtone! You crack me up! I am now much smarter than I was 5 minutes ago. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYo mamma lied... bahahahaha.... Just FYI, I would never eat fried pickles or any kind of pickles. They are gross. I tried to feed one to my niece yesterday while I was babysitting her and gagged when I touched it.
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!!! I've been missing our evening chats! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteThank you for today's lesson. It taught me a lot and thanks for confirming that I have a filthy mouth and that my my is a liar. :)

Yep, the mouthwash thing is true. I work in a microbiology lab and you wouldn't believe the number of kiddos that think they want to see which mouthwash is the most effective for the science fair. The second truth is that I have a potty mouth...shit.
ReplyDeleteI always threw caution to the wind and swallowed my gum... especially during church before communion... live dangerously!
ReplyDeleteThanks for informing me. I swallowed some gum recently.
ReplyDeleteI feel dumber, I mean smarter already. You know, Sherm used to somehow find gum everywhere we went and swallowed a few before I found out this could kill him. Yikes.
ReplyDeletethanks for the tampon fact.... icky, icky, icky.
ReplyDeleteThe bitch lied, haha I really thought for the longest time it stayed in the stomach that long. I wonder where that started.

I love knowledge that's really not terrible important, but makes you feel like a friggin genius. You know you have to bust those out the next time you have a get together, right? :P
ReplyDeleteUm...if you were my history teacher in college, I might not have dropped that class! I love history, but it's got to be a fun teacher. I elect you as our blogger history professor!!
