Getting rid of my account might as well do it with some fun make sure to read all of this it is hilarious a plane was about to crash and there were 5 people on board and only 4 parachutes. the first person said: " i am roy keane, one of the best footballers in ireland. i am worth a lot of money and my fans need me so i think i should be saved." the others agreed and gave him one of the parachutes and off he went. the second person said: "i am gerry adams, a radical irish politician who can really my country and i think i should be saved." the others said: "o.k.", and gave him a parachute. the third person said: "i am george bush, president of the most powerful country in the world. everyone knows i am a really nice guy and everyone thinks i am stupid,but i'm not, so i am taking a parachute." and off he went. there were two people left, the pope and a 10 year old schoolgirl. the pope said: "child, i am old and frail and have lived my life while you are young, with everything before you. you take the parachute and i will stay with the aircraft and take my chance."

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.
