Friday's Fact

Could a revolving house spin through 360 degrees? Could it continue turning in one direction…forever? (Before you jump to a quick and possibly wrong conclusion, consider plumbing, gas, and electric.)

Last week’s fact: It’s called Cantharidin, it comes from a beetle…a ‘blister beetle’ and it causes a nasty little blister on contact with human skin. It does a nice job on certain warts however by forming a blister around the entire wart and sort of lifting it up by the roots. It burns like hell though.
