Your Random Fact Site Propagates some Incorrect Information, or Myths.

The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

See Here. http://www.snopes.com/autos/law/airstrip.aspPolice dogs are trained to react to commands in a foreign language; commonly German but more recently Hungarian.

Many people think this is true, but speaking to a Police Dog Trainer for the State of Oregon, I learned about this. There have been Trainers and Handlers that have done this. The Most common reason is to prevent the perps or a bystanders from giving a command.

The Police Trainer I spoke to says, Its easy to train the dog to react in German or another language, Its the Police Officer who you will have the most trouble with. So He trains dogs in English. But To prevent the Perp from giving a command the dog is trained to only respond to its handler. I saw this my very own.

The Police Dog and Handler that was there. The Handler Gave a Command and the Dog Followed. The Dog was then "released" for his sit command. I was then informed to instruct the dog to sit. I gave the command, Multiple times, the dog would not listen to me. The Handler then said "sit" and the dog sat.

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet (2 m) away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

The Television Show Mythbusters covered this in the early seasons. They found that no matter where you kept the toothbrush, on the toliet on the sink, in another room, you will get the same amount of bactria. This bacterial amount, however, is a safe amount and not harmfull.

So Dentist may recommend this, but there is no scientific reason to do so.
