you know i try to read between the lines

10 things i would probably never knew if i didnt read (that may or may not be true, but i choose to believe them):

1. when you're dizzy, sit and put your head between your knees. it helps.

2. red streaks on your skin (like seeing your veins clearly red) means blood poisoning.

3. your pain tolerance is dependent on how many mu receptors you have. you're born with these and the number only changes if something drastic happens, like vampire saliva entering your bloodstream.

4. one famous poet, i forgot his name, didn't sell a single book the first two weeks that his first book of poetry was published. like not even his mom bought a copy.

5. ether is awesome and highly addictive.

6. in the old days (like early 1900s) people often left out the "meat" of the sandwich. cucumber sandwiches, tomato sandwiches... these were delicacies.

7. the starboard side is the right side of a ship, the port is the left.

8. if you can analyze the psychological motives behind your actions, then whatever you're doing is okay. for example, you hang out with a girl because when you're with her, people actually notice you. you know the motive, so even though that's considered a psychological malady, it's okay.

9. mixing sawdust into a used car's engine will make it run like new... at least for the few miles it takes for the new buyer to get far away from your car dealership.

10. milkweed or milksop or something like that can be used in fishing. you dam off a little part of a lake and throw the weed in there. it paralyzes the fish which then float to the top of the water. you pick up however many you want and then undam your area. when the weed loses concentration, the rest of the fish go back to normal.
