cars, thumbprints, bacteria, and ick
Today I learned that:
- The instrument panel in the 24-year-old BMW has rechargeable batteries in it that say 'Sanyo' on them. I don't know what happens when they fail, but I suspect that if we don't just change them gratuitously while we can see them easily, one of these days we'll find out.
- If you attempt to cash a check at a Compass bank, they require your thumbprint on the check. Thumbprint chemicals don't smell very good, but I think it might have just been the general crap in the bank that gave me the heart palpitations.
- If you have intracellular bacteria and the resultant vitamin D deficiency, when you give up all foods containing vitamin D, your bone density may well improve.
- I'm really not comfortable discussing strangers' watery diarrhea in grocery stores.

Here is the question about the batteries... Are these the same quality of rechargeable you buy in the store? If not... where the heck can we buy the kind that runs for 24 years?!?!
As for the .. um... last bullet point. Does that mean you are ok with it in other settings? Just not the grocery mart?... Just clarifying. (<-- is that even a word? sounds funny)

It turns out the batteries aren't even rechargeable! They're 3V, look like about a half of a AA, and they're supposed to live 10 years. They had a sticker with German on it gluing them together, so they might have been original. We were stunned.
I guess there is no good location for that last bullet point. ;)
