Gee, if I lived in the Mojave I think I'd be worried about rattlers, too--just as if I lived on the edge of a swamp, I'd be worried about cottonmouths (a.k.a. water moccasins). Maybe you seem to be seeing more snakes because you're now unconsciously looking out for them? And of course it is importan...

Here's one I remember from ages ago: A man is out in the country on vacation, and decides he wants to go fishing. He asks a local boy, "How's the fishing around here?" the boy says, "The fishin's great, mister." "Oh, good!" the man says. "What do you catch?" The boy looks at the man and says, "You s...

It makes your body produce excess kryptopyroles, which bind to certain nutrients (primarily vitamin B6 and zinc; it can also...
