Things you can learn from a packet of instant oatmeal # 4
Did you know that the insulin used to treat diabetes in human beings is taken from pigs and sheep. The substance produced in these animals is exactly the same as that found in the human body.
On the subject of shots, did you know that the theory of immunization, and of smallpox immunization in particular, was known to Chinese doctors more than seven hundred years before its discovery in 1796 by the English physician, Edward Jenner.
How about this little tidbit for the next time you are playing Monopoly. The space on which a player has the greatest chance of landing is Illinois Avenue.
For those individuals who are married and are having financial difficulty (there must be some connection there), a wedding ring cannot be seized by creditors no matter how much a bankrupt person owes.
Can you believe, there is only one state in the United States named after a president-Washington. That is amazing especially with all the streets, buildings, airports, etc. that are named after presidents. I guess there won't be another any time soon either, huh?

I have heard that Puerto Rico would be willing to, if made a state, change its name to Millard Fillmore, who by the way did not have a Vice President though he had been VP to Zachary Taylor.
If I were Puerto Rico I'd lobby to become a state named Chester, for the most anonymous President... (who even knows his last name?)
