Trivia number 92

 

I want this to be information one just usually doesn’t hear.  If you have I would like to know if you haven’t all the better you’ve learned something today.  With that being said here is the information for you to consider today.

One in five adults admitted to urinating in swimming pools, which means 20% of adults in swimming pools have urinated in it. Red eyes associated with swimming are not caused by chlorine. They are caused by chloramine, a chemical that is created when urine combines with the chlorine already in the pool. In fact, the more strong smelling a pool is, the more contaminated it is.  The last one for today is: Calvin Graham was only 12 years old when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He won a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before the Navy found out how old he was.

Now go out and tell the world of your new found knowledge.  Smile it will make people wonder what you’ve been up to.  Join us tomorrow for another journey into the wonderful world of Wordsmith.  Click on the link below.  Who knows you may learn something along the way and some of the words may even bring a smile to your face.

Good morning James,

That is why I like the lake; but that has other pollution!

Make yourself a great day.

Hi James.

Really only 25% admit it? I think the number is more around like 80% or higher. Just sayin'.

Have a good day in Rogers.

Best, Clint McKie

I'm not too concerned about the pool thing - a couple of ounces in a few thousand gallons of water is such a miniscule percentage.
