  1. Z So I doubted the OP's clam, but this graphic seems to lend it credence. However, it also shows that the in general the more religous a country is the poorer it is so it is not necessarily Islam itself.

    Female bedbugs have no genital opening. Therefore in order to reproduce the male uses his hypodermic like penis to pierce a hole into the females abdomen in which he then proceeds to ejaculate into.

    In honor of weed season. Taraxacum officinale also known as the common dandelion is not native to North American and was instead first introduced to the continent in the 1600's by European settlers who brought it for food. Sources: See "Common Dandelion Is An Introduced Weed" Aliens Amoungst Us
  5. Currently I am reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, A Divine Comedy: Inferno by Dante Alighieri, Excursions in Number Theory by Stanley Ogilvy. After I finish one of these I will probably move on the The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli or The Gettysburg Gospel: The Lincoln Speech That Nobody Knows by Gabor Boritt. By the way can anyone suggest any other number theory books?

    According to the Food and Drug Administration, chocolate can have up to 60 insect fragments per 100 grams and up to one rodent's hair per 100 grams. Here is the FDA Defect Levels Handbook. Although I do not suggest reading it if you are eating or plan on eating today.
  7. In my opinion once you understand the concepts behind basic math like addition and subtraction it simply becomes practice. I remember that when I was in elementary school everyday we did a thing called the Mad Minute. It was a sheet with 40 problems ranging from a addition to division and you had one minute to do it. I would suggest that once you learn the basics you practice with things like that. They make online versions like Math Magician. I would also suggest that you work slowly in steps making sure to be proficient in one skill before moving on to the next. Good luck with this, I truly hope you reach your goal.

    The word hoosier is thought to come from the word hoozer which means hill dweller. The word hoozer comes from the anglo saxon word hoo which meant high or hill.
