Psst. Just bang the lint screen on the trash can and the lint comes off without you touching it.

Or use a paper towel (if the laundry room has been stocked, that is).

Why does asparagus cause stinky pee?

From WebMD:

Quote:

Aug. 14, 2000 -- You may have heard the tall tale that "asparagus urine" is linked to higher intelligence. In fact, it's the result of a simple chemical reaction. Asparagus contains a sulfur compound called mercaptan. (It's also found in rotten eggs, onions, garlic, and in the secretions of skunks.) When your digestive tract breaks down this substance, by-products are released that cause the funny scent. The process is so quick that your urine can develop the distinctive smell within 15 to 30 minutes of eating asparagus.

But not everyone has this experience. Your genetic makeup may determine whether your urine has the odor -- or whether you can actually smell it. Only some people appear to have the gene for the enzyme that breaks down mercaptan into its more pungent parts. A study published in the May 1989 British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology found that 46% of 115 people tested produced the odor in one group of British citizens, while 100% of 103 people produced it in a group of French citizens. The ability to smell the by-products may also be genetic. Another study published in the same journal found that 10% of a group of 300 Israeli Jews could not detect the odor. In other words, a person's urine could smell, but he or she might not know it.

Fascinating! I've always wondered.

Thanks MBC!

From a newsletter I get (about the printing industry):

Not too long after the founding of the American republic, a citizen complained to Franklin that he had not received the "happiness" promised in the Declaration of Independence. Franklin replied that "the Declaratoin's 'persuit of happiness' only gives you the right to pursue happiness -- you have to catch it yourself."

A Canadian once explained to my father that America is all about the "pursuit of happiness" while Canadians are just happy.

I hope that I can spend the rest of my life trying to always make it better.
