Dear Dave,
When I'm traveling, I love
to listen to my favourite
podcasts, that I never get
around to listening to
when at home. My
favourite podcast is " Stuff
You Should Know"
sponsored by the " How
It Works" team. Chuck
and Josh, the hosts, are
knowledgeable, funny and
always easy to listen to.
I also end up learning a
great fact or two from
every podcast. Here are a
few of my recent
favourites.
COVER YOUR
TOOTHBRUSH - When
you flush your toilet, some
of anything in there turns
into an aerosol and covers
EVERYTHING in your bathroom.
So always close the lid to
flush, and cover your
toothbrush.
TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES
AT HOME
- Canadians, Japanese and
other cultures routinely
remove our/their shoes when
you enter a home. Most
Americans do not. Well, a
recent study showed that 93%
of shoes worn outside have
some fecal matter on
them...I don't need to say
more.
USE SPF30 SUNSCREEN
- Sunscreen with an SPF 30
rating blocks about 97% of
the UVB (buring) rays if
applied and reapplied
correctly. Sunscreen with an
SPF of 50 only blocks 98% of
the UVB rays (and SPF100
blocks 99%). So, using SPF30
CORRECTLY (reapply after
swimming or sweating) is
just fine.
.
I hope you learn something
new and useful each day
also!
