Wise World of Wellen presented by Salem Eye Clinic
1. The reason humans are the only animals with a CHIN is . . . cooking. We figured out how to cook food to make it soft, so we evolved away from big teeth and strong jaws . . . and developed chins.
2. The TSA makes almost $1 million a year just from the loose change people leave behind at security.
3. A cup of maple syrup has more calcium than a cup of milk . . . although it would be awfully hard to drink a cup of syrup.
4. Wint-O-Green Life Savers make blue sparks in the dark when you bite on them because of something called “triboluminescence,” or light resulting from something being smashed.
5. There have been 11 different countries with their own version of “The Office”. And the show is set at a paper company in all of them except Germany, where it’s an insurance company, and Poland, where it’s a bottled water company.
