If saying “gastroesophageal reflux” is the same as saying “heartburn”, why do I feel exhausted and in need of a nap only after saying the former?

By soothes the heart upset, I mean helps to get the stomach acid neutralized and back where it should be.

They sold them, though. I would’ve painted “Pepsi” on the side and coasted around.  Not to say that would be some solid advertising, but it’d get my attention.

No “willy-nilly” candy except at Halloween, that is.

It comes from the word honorificabilitudinitas, referring to someone who could be honored.

Butterflies can even see ultraviolet light and use it for communication such as with nectar guiding and mating behaviors.

It’s better than Timmy being in the well again.  That kid is always in the well.

Unfall=accident. When walking around areas with cliffs and such, you’ll find a lot of signs that say “unfallgefahr” (accident danger).  You’ll also find yourself saying that word repeatedly, because it sounds hilarious.

To determine how much carbon-14 there was initially, one can use the amount of carbon-12 present in the organic material currently (carbon-12 is stable) and use a ratio of about 1 carbon-14 for every trillion carbon-12′s to calculate.

There are neat systems out there for determining ages of sites, including older sites than 60,000 years.  Potassium-argon dating, for instance, measures the radiation in a radioactive form of potassium within volcanic ash.

Galvani also, in trying to understand how the frog legs were conducting electricity, discovered the electrochemical series in addition to uncovering some serious insight in bioelectricity.  This, of course, led to The Matrix.

Mentos ice cubes + soda = a hilarious day ruiner.

….Potassium is good for you, though.
