Biology Trivia

Note that as of Mar 17, 2009 I discovered the 'fake $5' is actually just an older note.

L gave me some biology trivia for today. If you place your hand just above your adam's apple and swallow, you will feel your epiglottis move. That is the flap that covers your windpipe when you swallow so you don't choke. She also discovered that if you were to cut a piece of heart muscle off and lay it on a napkin, it would continue to pulse and move indefinitely because that is the nature of how those cells work.

I was at the Chinese fast food mall earlier this week picking up some noodle dishes (lazy cook week) and the lady at the sticky rice counter tried to pass me a fake $5 bill, but I told her to give me another one. Watch yourselves, folks!

Good that you could use the info, Mom.
