interesting.... maybe 5% of all statistics are true. but I'm sure the Ostrich do not put head in the sand cos of water...they did that cos of special kinds of bugs which they have in the hair...also I dont believe that I ate a spider.)
PS. I didn't know that restrooms are so dangerous place.) I'll take care.) |

Yeah I'm trying to figure out how one can be injured by the toilet myself. Yeah, the bug thing makes me wonder about what's crawled in there too.

well, my inlaws, which I love oh so dearly *cough cough* and aunt and uncle were once drunk and camping with the whole extended family so they went in the public bathrooms to have sex, ended up breaking the toilet and both of them had over 200 stitches each.... that was a pleasant one to explain to the kids in the morning.

#24 can't be right, can it? I know they don't ask if they can do that. As far as the bugs, I always felt what I don't know can't hurt me, but maybe I was wrong. Yikes!!
