    It is well known that consuming asparagus makes your pee smell unusual but it's still not known exactly what causes the change.
    I heard that it's genetics, but only a few people have the stinky gene, and, even then, not many of them can smell it.

    On that note...DYK that it's supposedly impossible to sneeze in your sleep, because the nerves that would normally be irritated are at rest with you?

    Did you know that back in 1518 there was a month-long plague of inexplicable dancing in Strasbourg, in which hundreds of people danced for about a month for no apparent reason. Several of them danced themselves to death! It was called The Dance Fever. (true story)
    Maybe ancestors of Deney Terrio spread it?

    did you know..

    the tradition of brides carrying bouquets of flowers comes from the old days when women would carry them to mask the smell of their body odor during the wedding. and the tradition of wearing a veil was originally used to cover the face of an unattractive woman during the ceremony of arranged marriages. so the guy wouldn't see her and run I guess?? lol

    Millisecond
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Horizontal logarithmic scale marked with units of time
    A millisecond (from milli- and second; symbol: ms) is a thousandth (10−3 or 1/1,000) of a second.[1]

    10 milliseconds (a hundredth of a second) are called a centisecond, commonly seen on many stopwatches but often mistakenly referred to as milliseconds.

    100 milliseconds (one tenth of a second) are called a decisecond.
