Men commit suicide three times more frequently than women do. But women attempt suicide two to three times more often than men.   Does this mean that men are more successful than women, or is they they do it properly?

The world's costliest coffee, at $130 a pound, is called Kopi Luwak. It is in the droppings of a type of marsupial that eats only the very best coffee beans. Plantation workers track them and scoop their precious poop.   (anyone for coffee)

I'm left - handed too Sandi, and left footed.......probably why I keep going around in circles!!!                                                                                                                                                                              

I am left handed to.   Ask a right handed person what hand do they use their fork when using a knife. Then ask what hand they use for their fork when not using a knife. Normally all right handers will switch hands with the fork.   I use my fork in my left hand no matter if I am using the knife or not.   So who is cack handed or should I say confused?

In the 1700s, European women achieved a pale complexion by eating "Arsenic Complexion Wafers" actually made with the poison.   Laser stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation."  I am sure that must be really interesting!   The condom - made originally of linen - was invented in the early 1500's.  That don't sound too good!
