holla at me [18 Dec 2009|09:00pm] useless_facts [night_owl13] According to the Oxford English Dictionary, hello is an alteration of hallo, hollo, which came from Old High German "halâ, holâ, emphatic imper[ative] of halôn, holôn to fetch, used esp[ecially] in hailing a ferryman." It also connects the development of hello to the influence of an earlier form, holla, whose origin is in the French holà (roughly, 'whoa there!', from French là 'there'). -- Wikipedia 0 bulimic rainbows vomit + what

Cake, Pie and Cookie Food Facts [13 Dec 2009|09:23pm] useless_facts [endless_reader] Pies and tarts are the most popular desserts with people whose dinner check is under 15.00-dollars. Try brushing the bottom crust of fruit pies with egg whites to prevent the fruit juices from soaking in. Make sure your oven has been pre-heated for 15 to 20 minutes before placing a cake in. Always bake on a middle shelf in the oven; the heat will circulate more evenly. To keep a cake from drying out, attach slices of bread with toothpicks to any exposed cut edges of cakes. To ice a many-layered cake, try attaching all the layers with a few pieces of dry spaghetti. ( Read more... ) 2 bulimic rainbows vomit + what

Poo facts for December 5-11, 2009 [11 Dec 2009|12:07am] useless_facts [glowing_dragon] [ mood | cheerful ] [ music | Fugazi, "And The Same" ] Poo nugget for this weekend: Sour Milk - The early twentieth-century observation by Russian scientist and Nobel Prize winner Elie Metchnikoff, that rural Bulgarians who consumed fermented milk lived long lives has led to the widespread consumption of sour milk. Metchnikoff hypothesized that the lactic acid bacteria present in fermented milk conferred health benefits. Soon after this observation, doctors across Europe began prescribing sour milk to their patients. One hundred years later, healthful bacteria are still found in many dairy products, including fermented milk like kefir. Poo nugget for Monday, December 7: Doo You Know? - When A Penny Saved Is Not A Penny Earned - The British saying "to spend a penny" is a euphemism for using the toilet. This saying comes from the British practice of paying to use public toilets. Although pay toilets fell out of favor in the United States in the 1970s, the United Kingdom still uses these facilities for Number Two. Poo nugget for Tuesday, December 8: Worms Suck - This day in 1813 marks the birth date of Angelo Dubini, the Italian physician who discovered the hookworm, a parasite that causes iron deficiency anemia. He found the worm, Anchylostoma duodenale, in 1843, when conducting an autopsy on a peasant woman. This worm literally sucks blood from the intestinal tract, and its spread amongst workers gave rise to such conditions as "miner's anemia" and "bricklayer's anemia." Poo nugget for Wednesday, December 9: A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words... - The Bristol Stool Scale is a tool used by gastroenterologists to help standardize the discourse on poo. Utilizing pictures and descriptions such as "like a sausage but with cracks," the scale breaks down poo into seven types. British physicians first published this poo pictorial in 1990, and found that the appearance of poo correlated with the amount of time it spends in the colon. The harder and more lumpy the stool, the longer the travel time. Poo nugget for Thursday, December 10: Always Shake With Your Right Hand - Post-poo cleanup in countries such as India and Pakistan occurs with the use of water and the left hand. For this reason, extending one's left hand in greeting is considered impolite and offensive, and maybe a little gross. Poo nugget for Friday, December 11: The Worst Case of Constipation - The world's largest preserved colon once contained over forty pounds of stool, and was stretched to many times its original size. On display at the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, the colon's owner suffered from Hirschprung's disease, a thankfully rare disorder that results in the inability to empty one's bowels. 10 bulimic rainbows vomit + what
