In Pennsylvania, it's illegal to buy fireworks. So the firework vendors just set up their stands and a bunch of people from surrounding states come buy fireworks there. But technically, you can't if your Pennsylvanian!

Hmmm, it isn't illegal for a woman to be naked, that's fine. It's the men that look at her that are in trouble. Men, however,if seen naked get prosecuted for indecency.

I can't remember how that came up. I think it was a strange conversation with a uni lecturer I had but I don't know.

On the theme of banana's being herbs they also share 80% of our genes; though I personally feel with some people it may be more than that...

Not so much a fact as a random question. I've switched from a phase of normal Cheerios to the honey nut variety. Why is it they and Sugar Puffs make your wee smell so much? I know it must be something to do with the honey, but why?

On the theme of DNA, it always makes me chuckle when the police are carrying out an investigation and they say they have a DNA match of like 97-99% - that's about the same a match as individual has with a bleeding monkey - doh!

In amongst people they mean variances within the human genetic code like everyone's is different and they mean things that can be different; like different variations of the same thing.

Whereas with apes having~98% of the same genes as us they means as mean the standard genome code of species as a whole compared to the standard one for humans and so the variation there is different things being persent or not present rather than subtle variations of the same thing if you get my drift.

Possibly due to the sugar content meaning that your body needs more water and so you need to drink more as yor urine is more concentrated.

However this should be such little amounts it shouldn't make a different.

More likely to be due to preservatives in them

you forgot that a tomato is a fruit mand!

Although someone once said;

"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit...
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"

i thought most people would know that one!

i've heard that honey along with asparagus makes your pee smell.

i know coffee alters your pee - but that's coz it's a diuretic so make a larger quantity rather than anything else.
