    Actually Mel Blanc was not allergic to carrots... he just didnt like the taste of them so he would spit them out into a bucket.

    In Singapore, it is illegal to sell or own chewing gum.

    My Husband's best friend was born and raised in Singapore and he said that it is only illegal to buy or sell it in Singapore but that if you own some (ie.. traveling to Singapore from another country and its in your luggage) that you can own it and chew it legally. Just don't spit it on the ground because that is illegal!

    Okay last one...

    In Roman times, there was a tradition among the Gauls to use urine to whiten teeth.

    Back before lab test to detect diabetes, Doctors would drink their patient's urine to test is see if they had diabetes. People who are diabetics spill glucose (sugar) in their urine and it taste and smells sweet.

    People still practice urine therapy today. Urine therapy entails using your own urine externally or internally as a way to promote or maintain good health. "Urine therapy makes you feel vital and energized. It has helped me boost my immunity levels. It also helps people to stay slim ...it has a wonderful healing and toning effect when applied to the skin. "

    Hum, I think I will stick to my multivitamin. LOL!

    antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest word in the english language.

    Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "a factitious word alleged to mean 'a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs.'" A condition meeting the word's definition is normally called silicosis.

    The 45-letter word was coined to serve as the longest English word and is the longest word ever to appear in an English language dictionary. It is listed in the current edition of several dictionaries.
