"Six Items a Day of Enduring Insignificance"
------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings Infomaniacs,
We have all read those statistics that sound too weird and
bizarre to be true. You know what? Most of them are. Here
are a few of those statistics which are just plain wrong.
6. You Accidentally Swallow About 8 Spiders a Year.
5. You Only Use 10% of Your Brain.
4. Men Think About Sex Every Seven Seconds.
3. Spousal Abuse Skyrockets on Super Bowl Sunday.
2. You Must Wait 30 Minutes After Eating Before Swimming.
1. Christmas Causes Suicide.
The next time someone parrots one of these myths to you make
sure to tell them not to believe everything they read!
Enjoy!

Sometimes Frozen Fruits And Vegetables
Are More Nutritious Than Fresh!
The longer that fruits or vegetables sit around waiting

time to lose their nutrients.
