(Not So) TOTALLY USELESS FACTS OF THE DAY
Toyota is headquartered in the city of Toyota, Japan, but wasn't actually named after the city. The city was originally called 'Koromo,' but was renamed 'Toyota' in 1959 because the company had become so famous.
Bill Gates is so rich that the average American spending $1 is similar to him spending $1.06 million.
Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.
have you ever tried wearing one of those silly caps?
Into a spray bottle put:
1/4 c. isopropyl alcohol
1/4 c. white vinegar
1/2 t. dish detergent (Dawn is excellent)
Top it up gently with warm water, swirling as you go to disperse the detergent, then cap tightly.
Before showering, spray down the shower wherever it gets wet. Afterwards you can rinse those areas down. This spray takes the minerals down the drain and leaves your ceramic clean and shiny. No kidding, I only scrub every few months...but then, there is only me using the shower and my spray.

PICTURES OF THE DAY
The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), is a species of Old World monkey native to South, Central, and Southeast Asia. It has the widest geographic range of all non-human primates, occupying a great diversity of altitudes and a great variety of habitats, from grasslands to arid and forested areas, but also close to human settlements. Generally brown or grey in colour, it is 47 to 53 cm (19 to 21 in) in length with a 20.7 to 22.9 cm (8.1 to 9.0 in) tail and weighs 5.3 to 7.7 kg (12 to 17 lb). Due to its wide availability and biological similarity to humans, the rhesus macaque has been used extensively in medical and biological research. It has facilitated breakthroughs including vaccines for rabies, smallpox, and polio and antiretroviral medication to treat HIV/AIDS. A rhesus macaque became the first primate astronaut in 1948, but died during the flight, followed on 14 June 1949 by Albert II, who became the first primate and first mammal in space. This male rhesus macaque, of the subspecies M. m. mulatta, was photographed in the Gokarna Forest, Nepal.DOUBLE EXPOSURES INSPIRE AN EXPERIMENTAL TWIST TO STUDIO PORTRAITS
