Today I was reading a book to David and found it very interesting. Here are some tidbits that I gleaned.
* The tongue is one of the strongest muscles in the body. Everyone has a unique tongue print.
* If you lose sight in one eye, you lose only one-fifth of your vision. Your other eye will make up for some of the lost sight.
* A beard could grow over 30 feet over a life time
* There are more heart attacks on Monday than any other day of the week.
* Babies are born with 300 bones. Adults have 206. As you grow, some bones grow together.
* In a lifetime, a person produces enough spit to fill two swimming pools.
* hair is as strong as aluminum. A rope of hair could lift a car.
* Thighbones are stronger than concrete.
* Most house dust is made of dead skin cells.
* Your body has over 60,000 miles of blood vessels. This is enough to circle the earth 2 times.

There is a "green dump" in American Fork and a regular dump in Orem. If you are bringing stuff from your own yard to the green dump it is free, when we take lawn clippings from our business we have to pay.
