Have you ever lefted the #|water running in the bathroom or lefted the hose on outside for an hour or two ? If you live in #|California or in the Western part of the US that could be have of the little water supply that they have. The drought in the west has caused the mountains to dry up and #|break up. Governor Brown had declared that water should be savored, so California can cope with the lack of water. From the drought, people in California have pledged to not wash their cars so they can #|save water. That's how scarce water is. The land has risen about 0.16 inches since 2013. What that means is that all the water that would lay under the mountains is now gone which caused the mountains have dried up causing the land to lift without the water there to keep the land in place. In August the water supply went up 15% That is a reason why you can't use water or any other #|items that are precise to people who use the materials everyday.

When you sneeze do you notice that you #|close your eyes? Your eye sockets are not connected to your nose at all and the eyes are quite #|strong to keep them #|open or shut. A sneeze can erupt at a whopping speed of 200 miles per hour, but even the eyes can control itself then! They are no muscles behind the eyes that would be able to contract that fast either. So the question is why? Why can't I sneeze with my eyes open? The reason is quite simple, really, it is a reflex. The eyes and nose both have been connected by the cranial nerves. So the nerve that you send to the brain when you sneeze it sends a nerve to your eyes triggering them to blink or close their eyes for a few seconds. Now a small handful of people can sneeze with their eyes open. So the next time you feel a sneeze coming, try to sneeze with your eyes open you may be surprised in your end results.

Do you know anyone that has dropped food on the floor and picked it up and eat it and say FIVE SECOND RULE! If I were you I would mot eat that food even if it feel on freshly cleaned floors. Did you know that even if a piece of food falls on the floor and stays there for more than one millisecond it will attract bacteria's. How dirty it gets depends on what type of floor it has because of the dips in floors, etc, the bacteria can vary. So if you drop a piece of food on the floor I would tell you to pick it up and just throw it away because it is not sanitaria if you eat food that has been on the food. The five second rule is NOT true and I would not trust the five second rule. Just grab a new cookie or make another hotdog. :)
