Good thing I kept these around, it seems like all I do these days.

Five Found Facts I Barely Believe:
-
A rat can last longer without water than a camel.
-
A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and
down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top. -
If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will
instantly go mad and sting itself to death. -
By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you cannot
sink into quicksand. -
The glue on Israeli postage is certified kosher.

I want to try 2, 3, and 4!
KD: good luck with #4, let us know how that turns out. I’m pretty sure it’s the same as floating in salt water, if I remember correctly, the right way to escape quick sand is to swim out of it.
I’m down with 2– but I’ll leave 3 to Anthony Bourdain (b/c at least he’ll eat the poor thing when it’s all said and done), and 4 to Bear Grylls (b/c apparently he has enough back-up that nothing on earth is truly dangerous).
Ya, I might have a hard time finding quicksand in TX. Road trip anyone? j/k
Another way to escape quicksand – if you happen to find a sheep carcass nearby, use THAT to expand your own surface area. Then you can eat the heart for dinner. I’ve seen Bear do this, but it was a bog – which I think is like quicksand…
Man vs. Wild, a.k.a. how to get yourself out of situations you’ll never be in
2 and 3 COULD happen at SxSW – if #4 did, it’d be the best year ever…
I’ll bring the raisins, CK brings the champagne, KD brings the scorpion…That’s what I call team work.
