Almost everyday, I hear the "Sit & Sleep" commercials on TV. That guy says you have to get a new mattress because of all the skin shedding & sweating that humans do.
I listened carefully this time and I can't believe one of the facts(?). He says we sweat 10 oz. a night........that's more than a cup of sweat. What in the hell is everybody doing in bed that puts off 10 oz. of sweat each night??
If you sweat 10 oz. each night, you would wake up soaking wet !! He can't be serious!!

At first I thought the guy was just trying to scare people in to buying new mattresses but it turns out he was right:

Most, if not all of it, evaporates.
At time and a half all day, it will be.

household hint : Non-messy way to grease pans
To grease cake pans, slip your hand into a Ziplock style sandwich bag, then use it as a glove to dip out shortening and spread inside pans. When finished, place your "gloved" hand on top of shortening so the plastic sticks to it and slide your (still clean) hand out. Leave the "grease glove" in place (for next time) and put the lid back on the shortening. One baggie will last many times and you'll never forget this tip because the baggie is there to remind you to use it when you open the can.

Learned something new today : How we got the word "jumbo" as in jumbo-size:
Jumbo statue in St. Thomas, Ontario
Jumbo (1861 – September 15, 1885) was a large African Bush Elephant, born 1861 in the French Sudan
The giant elephant's name has spawned the common word "jumbo", meaning large in size.
Jumbo died at a railroad classification yard in St. Thomas, Ontario, where he was hit and fatally wounded by a locomotive.
The elephant's fame turned its name into a household word, with "Jumbo size" meaning "very large".
The central character of Walt Disney's Dumbo was named after Jumbo (cruelly nicknamed within the story as "Dumbo").
A life-size statue of the elephant was erected in 1985 in St. Thomas to commemorate the centennial of the elephant's death. It is located on Talbot Street on the west side of the city.
Railway City Brewing Company in St. Thomas, Ontario brews the popular "Dead Elephant Ale" a richly hopped IPA devoted to Jumbo and St. Thomas's railway history.
In computer networking, Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames with more than 1500 bytes of payload.
Boeing's 747 Jumbo jet is another good usage.
