    Avoid vaccines, they contain toxins like aluminum, mercury, MSG, aspartame/formaldehyde, squalene etc cause diseases such as lupus, arthritus, Gulf War Syndrome, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Guillain-Barre, asthma, cancer, ADD/ADHD, autism etc. The WHO is now pushing for 4.9 billion h1n1 vaccines to be made and used!

    One food related myth that I would like to see tested is that of whether drinking coffee on a hot day can actually cool you off.

    I understand it’s supposed to make you perspire more, thereby making you cooler, however, I believe I have a higher than average body temperature; coffee on a hot day is a ridiculous prospect to me, it just makes me feel even hotter.

    Perhaps some FLIR imaging would be in order?

    The Illuminati=reptilian kin aka bluebloods, jinn, naga, demons, vampires, Rothschilds, Rockefellars, Windsors etc that rule secret societies like Freemasonry. Their agenda: force TOXIC swine flu vaccines on many, WW3, implement interenet 2 & Codex Alimentarius then stage an alien invasion to get a fascist world government with us chipped. Support Stewart Swerdlow, Dr Deagle, Oracle Broadcasting, free-energy technology and gardeners/farmers!

    I just tried this experiment a few minutes ago with some co-workers but it only resulted in a tiny guizer. How do you make it taller?

    tomorrow I’ll by a coke and some mentos and I’ll put a mentos in the coke and I’ll see if there’s something…whatever it is :D

    If you were to eat mentos and then drink coke (or the other way around) you would simply heave a bunch of foam. If you want to try with out risking death do this.
    1. Chug four (4) cans of coke in 1 min.
    2. Play Dizzy Izzy. (put forehead on baseball bat on ground and walk in a circle around bat in one direction 50 times as fast as you can)
    3. Spew foam.
    Your body has a fail safe to keep stupid stuff like this from killing you. It’s called a gag reflex, and it works well.

    LOL you’re right. Kind of looks like the kid from A Christmas Story.
