Things you can learn from a packet of instant oatmeal # 1

We like the little packets of instant oatmeal, just add hot water and you have a hot breakfast. We usually buy the store brand since it is usually a little cheaper and we can't taste any difference and besides that, you get some great trivia on the side of the packet. I thought I would share a few of the things I have learned that... well... made me go hmmm.

Did you know that in 1910, when it was announced that Halley's Comet would once again pass the earth, hysteria broke out in Europe. People thought the comet heralded catastrophe.

Did you know that bees create their own air conditioning for their hives. When they flap their wings it creates a cross draft within the hive and pulls the hot air out while drawing cool air in.

  • Let's see. Evolutionarily one day, millions of years ago a bee flapped his wings, the queen bee lived longer passed her genes to other bees (which she realized was important to the survival of the species) and over time enough bees got in on the act to start really cooling things down.

    How does a bone fide scientist fall for that kind of dribble?

    Praise God for His marvelous design!
