Random - Interestic facts - #3


Studies have shown that college students who had just recently been rejected by their boyfriends/girlfriends had a strong activity in the part of the brain directly associated with the insular cortex - part that experiences physical pain. Love hurts, literally!

║█║▌║█║▌│║▌█║▌║
The average life expectancy for a Canadian is 81 years. That puts Canadians on the eight place in the world overall. The United States ranks 46th, at 78 years.

║█║▌║█║▌│║▌█║▌
Virus called Norwalk virus or Norovirus, (causes stomach flu), can survive on an uncleaned carpet for a month or more.
║█║▌║█║▌│║▌█║▌
Dr. Jonas Salk, the inventor of vaccine that almost completely eradicated polio - (infectious disease that left tens of millions of its victims paralyzed in different degrees), never patented his invention. His sole intent was to develop a safe and effective vaccine as fast as possible, with no interest in personal monetary gain. When he was asked in a televised interview about the patent ownership, Salk replied: "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?".




To all of the nice people that follow me, sorry - I was away without access to internet for the last four days - IN DA WOODZ! :)

    "Virus called Norwalk virus or Norovirus, (causes stomach flu), can survive on an uncleaned carpet for a month or more."
    But that means you have to get fecal mater on the carpet and then not clean it up.... Ewwwww

    The Canadian life expectancy may be correlated with their healthcare system, or that's what advocates of the system tend to say.

    I think the polio guy needed to have a heart to heart talk with big pharma. They patent AIDS and cancer drugs regularly.

    Now that is an honest man, they say that there is a cure for some cancers, and the first person to be cured of aids also has appeared but it isnt in the Economy´s favor to release these cures because they sell more meds that way. Terrible stuff man.
