There is no such thing as a useless fact

You gotta love StumbleUpon:

Important Life Wisdom
(with some important contributions from small children)
  • Garbage bags do not make good parachutes – even when you tape three of them together.
  • A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2,000 square foot house 4 inches deep.
  • A 3 year old child's voice comfortably exceeds the volume generated by 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.
  • If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing Batman underwear and a Superman cape.
  • However, if you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan and tie it to a paint can, it does spread paint on all four walls of a 20x20 room.
  • When you hear the toilet flush accompanied by the words "Uh oh," any action you take is pointless – it's already too late.
  • Brake fluid mixed with bleach makes smoke. Lots of smoke.
  • Certain Lego blocks will pass through the digestive tract of a 4 year old.
  • The words "Play-Doh" and "microwave" should never be used in the same sentence.
  • No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can't walk on water.
  • Useful follow-up discovery – pool filters do not like Jell-O.
  • Marbles in gas tanks make an extraordinary amount of noise when you drive.
  • So far as we can tell, the spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earthworms dizzy.
  • We can categorically state however, that the spin cycle on the washing machine does make cats dizzy. Really dizzy.
  • Now here's a truly little-known fact – cats can throw up over twice their body weight when dizzy.
  • 60% of men who read this will try mixing bleach and brake fluid.

"The words "Play-Doh" and "microwave" should never be used in the same sentence[.]," except this one.

The toilet flushing and "Uh oh" had me giggling.

Reminded me of the book by Bach Anon titled Dropping Almonds. A good management book embedded in a poop story.
