If you put a raisin in a glass of champagne, it will keep
floating to the top and sinking to the bottom.

Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite.

Potato crisps were invented by a Mr. Crumm.

Chinese eggs that are sold as delicacies in Singapore are often 100 years old.

The same concoction used to give Salt & Vinegar chips their "bite" is also used to create reusable liquid hand warmers via a dramatic chemical reaction releasing a lot of heat.

A can of Spam is opened every 4 seconds.

As the cheese ripens, gas bubbles are formed by the chemical reaction. As the bubbles break, the holes are left in the cheese, which gives Swiss Cheese its characteristic look.

Every time you lick a stamp, youre consuming 1/10 of a
calorie!

------------------- Road Kill Restitution -------------------

ACTON, Maine - A woman in Maine is upset after not being paid for the road kill she created. After Lisa Pierce's car struck and killed a moose, she felt it was within her legal right to claim monetary restitution for the meat that was given away by police after the incident. According to Pierce, "I want to be compensated for the meat." A butchered or dressed moose, which can't be bought or sold anywhere in Maine, can produce hundreds of pounds of food. Police say she will not be given a cash payment for her slaughter, but instead will be given the next moose
struck in York County. So today's lesson is, make sure you have yourself a tractor ready the next time you plow through a helpless forest creature to pick that carcass up for eatin'. Don't let anyone deny you the right to your road kill.

------------- Love Me To Death... I'll Pay You -------------

BERLIN, Germany - Many people would hop on the chance to be able to decide how they die. A German playboy has decided how he will meet his maker, and is offering a $125,000 reward to the woman who can kill him during sex. According to Berlin property tycoon Rolf Eden, "My real desire is to die on a lady, while making love." A lawyer has possession of his will which clearly states the details of who will retain the $125,000 after his death. Besides the contestants possessing certain physical qualities, the only stipulation lies in the fact that his death must be from sex and not from poison or a knife during the encounters. The 72-year-old will be flying in women from all over the world to give them a shot at helping him leave this world with a smile on his face.
