    If I wash my hands for 19 seconds, then that is not quite long enough and I could die.

    The news gals look quite different without professionals doing their make-up before they go on air.

    Using Clorox “disinfecting” cleanser without rubber gloves on or something similar is unleashing absolute hell on your hands. I quickly learned that the hard way. Ouch!

    Ive been growing my hair out and its a little past my shoulders now, using a bleach-water mix in a spray bottle to disinfect things is drying it out and damaging the hell out of it.

    Damn! Think of what it could be doing to your lungs! Be careful. Hey, at least you have hair to damage. Mine used to be part way down my back, and was for years. How I miss it!

    There are craters on the moon that are in perpetual shadow with temperatures of more than -350 degrees Fahrenheit in the shadow.

    I listened to the audio book Rebel Yell: The Violence, Passion and Redemptinon of Stonewall Jackson and I found the following very humorous:

    "When he did speak he could be maddeningly literal, a visiting English man discussing history once said to him using a typically British prefix, you remember major that at this point Lord Burley was Queen Elizabeths great counselor, Jackson immediately interrupted him saying no I don't remember for I did not know it. When later asked if he knew "you remember" was just a figure of speech, Jackson stated I'm quite aware he did not intend to gauge my knowledge of history but nothing could induce me to give the impression to the man that I knew something I did not. Similarly, when someone used the term "you know" in casual conversation, again as a mere figure of speech, Jackson would frequently interrupt to claim he did not know. He refused to go along with the most routine conventions of everyday conversation. He would not say that he wished that any circumstance was different then it was. Meaning he could not bring himself to wish it was warmer, less windy or that some accident had not happened"

    I found it quite humorous in my mind to just imagine this mid 19th century man actually doing those things in casual conversation.

    Me:"You know it's like when.."
    Stonewall Jackson: "No sir! I do not know any such thing!"
    Me: "Uh, alright, good talk..."

    Benicio Del Toro is a separate actor, he is not Brad Pitt in ugly makeup.

    That Pat Morita used to stand up as the "Hip Nip" and that Red Foxx was his comedic mentor.

    Trump(ty Dump) didn’t know the flu kills people. He’s such a dope. But, you know, it’s “going really great and he has great relationships” as long as you kiss hiss ass.

    I just found out a few weeks ago he was Ah Chu on Sanford and Son. No idea how I didn't recognize him.

    Brown is just the color orange with different brightness and contrast settings.

    Rather then urban induced insomnia, Nightingale males of can chirp into the wee mornings to find a mate and mark territory.

    Thomas Jefferson loved nightingales to the point of lobbying it to be national animal and kept them as pets in the Whitehouse.

    He didn't write how to poison the bastards or make them stfu.

    Research pending.

    Monster class oppression runs deep.
