    There’s a pig monument near my town that was erected because some people saved a pig from a well. I bet they were nice people.

    Wow can they really that just boggled my mind! Gross!

    Up to 95 percent of the population is genetically unsusceptible to contracting leprosy. And these days, it is highly treatable and not nearly as contagious as once believed. As for armadillos—the risk of transmission to humans is low. Only the nine-banded armadillo is known to carry the disease.

    Back in the day, when I was stationed out in California, it seemed like every time we went to our main training area, a soldier would come back with the bubonic plague. We would get training on field sanitation and take precautions. It did keep the rate down and no one was ever terminal.

    What a pickle back shot is. A shot of Jameson followed by a shot of pickle juice. I’m told it is amazingly awesome. Sounds disgusting to me.

    If you let your sbs sample sit in the pao for more than a few minutes, before titration... It will ruin the sample and you will have to walk all the way back to discharge for a new sample... Which is lame

    Mama June passed up 5000 to do a lap dance for some guy. I’d shake it for a Cadbury egg and some lottery scratchers at my age

    Did you know that if you keep calling someone by a name they ask you not to call them by it is considered intentionally hurtful? (hint hint, nudge nudge)
