The Noticer noticed some nasty stuff this week.
Stories shared from this week’s segment of The Noticer:
A British dog food company will pay you to smell your dog’s poop! You heard that right. British dog food company Omni is paying around six thousand dollars for customers to take note of their dog’s feces smell. Since their product is plant based, Omni has issued the challenge to try their food for two months. All they ask is that you smell your dog’s crap every day to see if the smell changes! [source]
Putting hydrogen peroxide on a wound isn’t helping. Despite how many people have been treating wounds for years, it turns out hydrogen peroxide isn’t as helpful as once believed. A new study shows that the fizzing typically associated with cleaning a wound is actually the peroxide affecting both harmed and unharmed tissue. So, you may be accidentally damaging healthy tissue. We don’t know, we’re pre-law! [source]
Move over Pisa, San Francisco has its own leaning building to worry about. The Millenium Tower, San Francisco’s 58 story condominium, has been leaning three inches every year. In addition, the building has also been sinking. If the sinking/leaning continues at this rate it may impact the elevators and plumbing. Luckily, a $100 million dollar restoration plan is being put in place to prevent that, led by engineer Ron Hamburger. We’re still waiting to see what architect David Hot Dog has to say. [source]
Finally, the FDA has approved a condom for anal intercourse. Here’s one to bring up at dinner time, this is big news! The FDA says that these new condoms will significantly help reduce the transmission of STDs, which are often transmitted when using the back door. This product is the first approved by the FDA to specifically help with anal intercourse. Don’t worry, the condoms are multipurpose. You’ll never guess which rocker, according to Steve, endorses them. Check out the podcast! [source]
Feeling connected with nature helps with a fear of snakes and spiders. Tired of being afraid of snakes and spiders? Touch some grass! That’s according to a new study out of Hungary that found that those who felt a connection with nature were less likely to have a fear of creepy crawlies. Some other factors to make you less afraid include older age and living in a more rural environment. Don’t forget, no matter how old you are, snakes can still be dangerous so watch out! [source]
