People are always talking about making lists of adventurous things they'd like to accomplish during their lifetime. Here's my list, and what follows are notes about what I'm currently up to.
Floss / quick showersApril 20, 2007
The two newest addition to the list are "
Floss each day for a year", and, with Earth Day close by, "
3 minute showers for a year". After having three cavities this year it's probably a good idea to get in the habit of flossing... like most people, I probably average once or twice a week at best.
Here are some interesting facts that I've learned about water usage:
15 minute shower = 150 litres
10 minute shower = 100 litres
5 minute shower = 50 litres
3 minute shower = 30 litres
2 minute shower = 20 litres
bath = 150 litres = 15 minute shower
Just for fun, I've calculated the difference in water usage comparing the adult population of the US having one bath a day for a month VS having a 2 minute shower each day for a month:
220 million adults:
2 minute shower = 1.32 trillion litres of water
bath = 10 trillion litres of water
McNasty
April 13, 2007
Ok, don't take me too seriously: I love McDonalds. It's probably my favorite fast food joint. But it's a sinful pleasure isn't it? Who can forget that movie "Super Size Me". One of my to-dos for 2007 is to not step foot in McDonalds. Four months down, eight to go. Hey, maybe I should celebrate next January with a big juicy big mac! hmm.
