Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there.

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. I keep my toothbrush in the living room now.

1 x 2 = 2 First Fold
2 x 2 = 4 Second Fold
4 x 2 = 8 Third Fold
8 x 2 = 16 Fourth Fold
16 x 2 = 32 Fifth Fold
32 x 2 = 64 Sixth Fold
64 x 2 = 128 Seventh Fold

Try to fold something in half seven times, puts you in less than 1 % of the original suface area. ;)

An Apple or Banana in the morning on an empty stomache takes as many or more calories to digest then you intake. It also provides good things for your body at the same time. :)

Louis Sachar wrote a kids book that involved this. Anyone else read "Wayside School is Falling Down"? It's the second in a set of 3 or 4 books by him and they're great for elementary aged kids. The first one in the set is called Sideways Stories from Wayside school. It's about a school that was supposed to be one story high and thirty classrooms long but instead it was accidently built thirty stories high with only one class on each floor (the builder said he was very sorry) :D . The books are about the students in the class on the top floor.
 
I remember that book! I loved those when i was little!
