one of everything

Today I learned that:

• Rumor has it that you can get prickly pear spines out of your skin by putting Elmer's Glue on the problem and essentially waxing them out.
• Bras came into existence in 1907.
• Based on today's efforts, the only place belt sanders don't throw tons of sawdust is right where the operator's head is likely to be. Everybody else had better be wearing a space suit.
• Back in July, someone else learned about dogs and exploding toilets.
• The guy in charge of Britney Spears' visitation rights is Commissioner Gordon.

There is no word on whether Batman will be called in to babysit.
