As you know, my sick mind goes in many strange directions. This morning, I stumbled into the bathroom and then decided it was time to brush my teeth. I reached for my Colgate tooth paste and was about to put it on my brush when I...

Something must grow on stale bread whether it's in hot or cold temperature when bread is forgotten from far back in the fridge for too long. Fungus makes its own digestive enzymes and acids which diffuse out of the fungus into the...
