Oct. 15 – Researchers at the University of Illinois say the so-called “5-Second Rule” isn’t a myth. They say when you drop food on the floor, it’s still safe to eat if you pick it up within five seconds.
That’s because it takes at least that long for germs to devour dropped food. Sticky food though, will pick up bacteria faster than dry food.
Researchers say the 5-Second Rule probably only applies to tile and hardwood floors.
Cartoon Network announced Tuesday that it is adding the Emmy-winning ’80s-era kids show to its after-hours Adult Swim lineup, beginning July 10.
The cable network will air all 45 original episodes featuring Paul Reubens as Pee-wee Herman, the biggest kid in the Playhouse, and his coterie of sidekicks. Watch closely, because yes, that’s the great Phil Hartman as Captain Carl, Laurence Fishburne as Cowboy Curtis, Law & Order’s S. Epatha Merkerson as Mail Lady Reba and a little Natasha Lyonne as Opal. And don’t miss Jimmy Smits‘ turn as the TV repairman.
All I remember is that the Alamo does not have a basement.

I think I would prefer the Chicken Fried Steak diet instead.
Imagine going to the grocery store only once every 6 months. Imagine paying less than a dollar per meal. Imagine never washing dishes, chopping vegetables or setting the table ever again. It sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?
But can a human subsist on a constant diet of pelletized, nutritionally complete food like puppies and monkeys do? For the good of human kind, I’m about to find out. On June 3, 2006, I began my week of eating nothing but monkey chow: “a complete and balanced diet for the nutrition of primates, including the great apes.”Â
Maybe I’ll lose weight. Maybe I’ll gain superhuman monkey strength. Maybe I’ll go crazy. Maybe it’s too late. Check back here every day to follow along with the Monkey Chow Diaries.
Just one little small warning before I post the link. The top of the webpage has a cartoon of a monkey extending the middle finger. Just wanted to note that incase you are sensitive to that sort of thing or being cautious of what others may see on your monitor at work. Link
