  1. Interesting stuff...I am a trivia hound.
    I think crocodiles and alligators don't HAVE tongues at all, which why they can't stick them out.

  2. Thank God I read this before injecting myself with nutmeg. I just hate having extra spices around the house and was considering it.

  9. These are really fascinating, Baygirl. No, I simply refuse to believe the average chocolate bar has 8 insect legs in it..? That is bizarre. Please say it isn't so.
    Your BabyGirl Bar Award has none. I know because I made it, and I didn't put any insect legs in it..Ok, now I need to do some research. What insects? How? Whym oh why?
    Cheers,
