A few of my own follow:
Mobile phones are not dangerous in airplanes, I had my mobile phone turned on in my carry on luggage and nothing happened to the airplane.
Eating Vegetables make you lose weight, if this is true, why are cows so fat?
Playing video games is a waste of time. Actually, I played a lot of video games and I got great hand eye coordination and an appreciation of the technology involved, therefore my time was not wasted.

Genetic Disorders
The Amish are suffering from unknown and rare genetic disorders because of their intermarriages.
A lot of intermarriage are also happening among Arabs, either by marrying their first cousins because it is traditional to do so, or within their their immediate family to preserve the family name and lineage and maybe keep the money in the family also. A lot of people who marry outside the family or outside the country are looked down upon, although this is becoming less of an issue now.
The full Article is here.
tip for today: Marry someone as unrelated to you as possible. If you are already married, then it is too late.

Having Decaplets
I found a cool little widget that shows the growth of a baby in a mother's womb in Nzingha's blog.
I thought it was very cool, you could see the progress of the baby as it develops and grows. I went to the widget options and saw you could have up to 10 babies. So I set up my own Baby Ticker with Decaplets (or 10 babies) and want to see how they progress. You can see it on the right hand column of my blog page.
No, I am not pregnant nor is anyone in my immediate social circle, it is just for fun.
Ten babies, now that would be an instant family, 280 days until birth.
