Things you probably didn't know

I've been thinking recently about some facts that I've learned through life (and the internet) that could be helpful to everyone else. I have compiled a list and hope they help you in some small way. Some wont help you at all. Some are incredibly random. Some are very interesting.

1. When emptying the dishwasher, start with the bottom row because the water in cups on the top row will spill onto the clean, dry dishes on the bottom.
2. Dentists recommend you keep your toothbrush at least 6 feet away from the toilet.
3. On average, people who are right handed live 9 years longer than people who are left handed. (whew!)
4. 12 newborn children will be given to the wrong parents daily.
5. In honor of Shark Week (which I now love): sharks are immune to all known diseases.
6. When cutting an onion: if you put it in the freezer about an hour before use, the toxins aren't released which make you cry. Also, chewing gum helps in reducing the tears too.
7. The average American consumes enough caffeine in one year to kill a horse. (Good thing I quit!)
8. The human eye detects 10 million colors!
9. Kissing helps prevent tooth decay. It also is healthier than shaking hands.
10. Apples, not caffeine, in the morning are more efficient in waking you up in the morning.
11. More than 90% of plane crashes have survivors. (Did you read that Brooke???)
12. Watching TV can serve as a natural painkiller for children.
13. On average, a 4 year old asks 437 questions a day. (I wonder how many of those are "why?")
14. The stall closest to the door in a bathroom is the cleanest, because it is the least used.
15. The correct response to the Irish greeting, "Top of the morning to you," is "and the rest of the day to yourself."

You're welcome.
