Here’s a fun little factoid that I found out from the lovely Karen!

Only Mammals get rabies. Lizards don’t get it. Neither of course do birds or fish. Meaning of course, since lizards don’t get rabies, that you don’t have to worry too much about being attacked by Godzilla. I mean, if he bites your head off, you absolutely won’t get rabies.

I wonder though, do whales get rabies? What would a rabid whale be like?? Now, that’s a scary thought. Not as scary as the thought of Schwarzenegger running for president some day, but still pretty damn scary!

It’s been said “You learn something new everyday, and if you don’t you’re being cheated.”, and it’s true! Not a day goes by where I don’t learn SOMETHING. Granted, it’s not always a huge or epic life altering discovery, but it’s still something new to me.

However, there are days when I learn or discover something of great significance. Like today for instance, I learned something that will change my life forever, and I am going to share this discovery with you.

Today, I was eating a hotdog and while eating I saw something that I thought was funny. It was a cat actually, outside my house doing that stalking thing that cats do, because they feel it makes them invisible to anything. What made it funny, was it was a bright white cat hiding in some grass. He was clearly visible, I mean you could spot him from 2 blocks away. so, I spotted this scene just as I was finishing a bite of my hotdog, and just as I was swallowing. The event caused me to let out a slight chuckle.

This is where the discovery comes in people! So, start paying close attention.

I chuckle. Not loud, just a slight chuckle. I am then shocked to find that I have bits of hotdog falling out of my nose! As I am sure you can imagine, that this was not a pretty sight! Not only was it not a pretty sight, it also hurt quite a bit too!

Now, obviously I have laughed other things out through my nose. Things like milk and even soda. Which I would like to also mention, laughing soda through your nose burns like hell. However! I thought this “Nasal Flowage” for lack of a better term only occured with liquidy type substances. However, I thought wrong, and learned to my misfortune that this occurance can also happen with solid foods!

So, my lesson for the the day is this: “Never eat and look at something funny and if you truly must prepare for a surprise from the deepest pits of your nostrils! Learn from my mistakes and try not to repeat them!!!
