Quite Interesting Facts of the Day

A ten year old mattress weighs double what it did when it was new, because of the -ahem- debris which is absorbed through the years. That debris includes dust mites (their droppings and their decaying bodies), mold, millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, animal and human hair, secretions, excretions, lint, pollen, dust, soil, sand and a lot of perspiration, of which the average person loses a quart per day. Good night!”

Quote of the Day

â’Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.â’ Maya Angelou

Don’t Play Monopoly
The malware isn’t installed on the user’s machine by visiting the web page.
