I think there is some truth in that. I was awakened early this morning by a little spider crawling on my arm. At first I thought it was a beed of sweat running down. When I realized that its much to cold in here for me to be sweating, I frantically turned the lamp on and there it was, a little spider. No kidding. We just had a room added on to the house and now the critters are everywhere. God only knows how many I've eaten. I guess it's time to fumigate!!

Did you know that OLD ROY dogfood has insects added for extra protein,that's where they get the by-products from.
My dog is still alive..:)

[Sgt_Stedenko]

Hot Dogs also have meat by-products in them. Should I be worried?

Someone once told me that if I was to ever tour a plant which makes them, I wouldn't eat another one again. :(

[WYATT]

Tuna fish plants are pretty scary too.

[The Foxy One]

[The Foxy One]

With that in mind Did you know this.........

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

Hi, Foxy,

If I'm not mistaken, the "t" is repeated in 'untyprightable'. How about "uncopyrightable"?

And I'd like to know just who found out cat whiz glows under black lights (and why they found that out).

On second thought, I don't need to know. :gg ;)
