Welcome to Oregon. The largest food-related salmonella outbreak in 1984 happened in The Dalles, Oregon. After moving to a ranch outside of Antelope, Oregon, the Rajneeshees plotted to take over the political structure in the region after being denied some building permits. They invented the "Share-a-Home" program, transporting homeless people into the region in order to help their cause and increase votes. To ensure victory they also visited 10 restaurants in The Dalles and infected their salad bars with salmonella. Over 750 people were food poisoned with what the Rajneeshees call "salsa".
Women have more sweat glands than men. The average person has 2.6 million sweat glands and can produce 0.25 to 0.5 liters of sweat per hour walking. "Sweating sickness" struck England in 1485, killing several thousands of people.
The most extravagant toilet seat has to be the TOTO Washlet S400. An automated lid that closes by sensors or by a remote, front and rear washing, air purifier, aerated warm water, heated seat, massage feature, air drying, and more lazy features makes this something I will never come in contact with. It has been recommended as a green alternative to toilet paper, but the huge dependence on electricity makes me seriously question that assertion.
