Soap powder is tested on rabbits and ginny pigs :lol:
They don't kill them though, just squirt it in their eyes (not nice, but true)
And the reason soap powder makes your clothes white, is because it contains optical whitening agents and bleach, it re-whitens your clothes, they are no cleaner, just whiter

I used to read the testing sheets in my break at work, when I worked in the chemical plant. They often used begel dogs too, don't know why they only used those sorts of dogs. It would upset me to read them.
We once had animal rights people on canoes on the river, trying to get in, don't know why though, the tests weren't done there. It was very exciting to watch :lol:

Polar bears are actually black. Their hairs have special nicks in them that reflect the light to make them look white.
They have the best of both worlds, the white look lets them sneak up on the odd penguin or two while the black absorbs any heat that is available.
The military have been trying to copy it since WWII but have not been able to do it yet.

Hayles said:Or Nigel, of course Jayne..? :wink:
That's quite perceptive of you, Hayles. It was only yesterday that Jayne PM'd me asking my permission for her to enlarge my photo avatar to use as a screen saver. Well, how could I refuse? :wink:
Whilst I'm here, did you know that the word avatar actually applies to the male only? The female one is 'avatart'. :lol:
I get the distinct feeling I should go now 8)

It wasn't for a screen saver, I wanted it to scare the birds of my garden :lol:

No Hayles, you've got it wrong. They were so captivated by my looks and charm, they decided to come to Evesham and serenade me for an hour :wink:
Can't believe I wrote that - I'm starting to sound like Macmyday :lol:
I'd best go back to my old self :wink:
Cheers Nigel

I'm not sure I can beat Jaynes amazing fact that bread is made with yeast 
, but how about this seasonal offering?
Most animals dont eat moss. Its hard to digest, and it has little nutritional value. But reindeer fill up with lots of moss. Why? The moss contains a special chemical that helps reindeer keep their body fluids warm. When the reindeer make their yearly journey across the icy Arctic region, the chemical keeps them from freezingmuch as antifreeze keeps a car from freezing up in winter.
