Re: In a 2004 study by OSHA, it was discovered that people who will "usually" eat food that they've accidentally dropped on the floor report having 18 percent fewer sick days from work than those who "never" do that.

I TOTALLY believe that. I've always kind of thought that people who are germ-phobes get sick more often than those who are a bit more chill about it. Which is not to say that I lick bathroom stall doors or anything -- just that I don't worry too much about any of that.

Ha! That's so funny. I'm all for the 5 second rule. My roommate on the other hand, refuses to let anybody touch her food and she's had the flu three times this year.

So it would take like 573 cups of coffee to kill me?? No worries there

Those are some interesting facts, especially the one about dropping food on the floor, a little dirt does the body good I guess!!!

Soul Searching, hopefully you wouldn't be able to drink that much coffee. You would be bouncing off the walls!

Jen, I liked that fact in particular as well!

I actually opened a deck of cards a few weeks ago that had a duplicate King of Clubs.

Weird.

Johnny C., you're the only person I've heard that happening to!

Buffy, I think some of these people that figure this stuff out have a little too much time on their hands.
