What I Learned from My Oatmeal Box…

Market Pantry oatmeal boxes have interesting facts printed on each packet of instant oatmeal. Here is what I've learned so far...

1. Sharks apparently are the only animals that never get sick. As far as it is known, they are immune to almost every known disease, including cancer.

2. The blood of mammals is red, the blood of insects is yellow, and the blood of lobsters is blue.

3. There are more insects in one square mile of rural land than there are human beings on the entire earth.

Thanks! It's good to be back =) One more tidbit for you:

A species of starfish known as Linckia Columbiae can reproduce its entire body--that is, grow back completely from a single severed piece less than a half-inch long.

Also I saw on TV tonight that a shark fetus feeds on his/her siblings in utero...learning to hunt before he/she is born.
