30 People Share Quirky Facts They Think Everyone Should Be Aware Of

It's banned in most countries except the US. Many vets consider it their "bread and butter". The paw project.org aims to educate. Please don't declaw. If you don't want and animal with claws adopt a rabbit! They're like cats without claws.

Jeezus, is this still allowed in the US? Or anywhere, for that matter?

Before I adopted them, I had to sign a form stating I would never get my boys declawed. Never signed my name so fast in my life.

No vet I know witll do it.

The EU prohibits declawing, tail bobs and ear trims, as well as circumcision both make and female babies. Castration of livestock must use anesthesia.Glad I live in a civilised place

And a trillion seconds is around 30,000 years...

a monday is eternity

Yes and just five more minutes is infinite.

It is cool to tell your age in seconds. Makes you seem like you're immoral, uh, immortal.

This is the second time I've read this!

AWW, that's so MOOOOOving!

So do horses.

Chickens do too. And often it’s you!!

Yep

They are also very curious and like to play.

Same here. It was horrible. I visited my doctor so many times and all he did was antibiotics and more antibiotics. It wasn't until I was in the 10th week of serious coughing, that he finally tested me and found it was Pertussis. This bout of illness made me distrust medical professionals.

I had chickenpox at 26 and it almost killed me, like literally almost died. My windpipe swelled nearly shut, raging fever with chills so bad I crawled into a bathtub of 100 out of the hot tap water and tried to cook myself. It's a miracle I didn't die because no one thought to check on me because it's "just chickenpox"and I was too delirious to ask for help.

when I go to my GP for my yearly, he checks his chart to make sure I am up to date on all boosters, and if I need, he gives me. I just trust he is keeping me current.

Why don't doctors tell us this????????????????

This is exactly something I could have written. I coughed so much I would puke. It lasted weeks. When my lungs started to finally clear, I would cough up massive amounts of infected mucus. It was miserable. Keep up to date on your vaccines!

I was the first person on the scene of a motorcycle vs. Tractor trailer accident about fifteen years ago. I only remembered about five years ago that the man had been decapitated.

This is 100% true. As a rescue technician this was actually part of our training. If you've never seen amputation injuries it's extremely jarring. If you're warned before seeing it makes it easier to accept what you're looking at.

Tell your name, tell the adress, tell if you need police, firemen or ambulance before everything else. Keep calm. I'm .... At .... Need of an ambulance and police. Then explane what is going on.

Paramedics would come in pairs, but if they know in advance that it is a gruesome death scene, they would come in alone to protect their partner from the PTSD.

Former dispatcher here, no. Give your location, type of emergency, and your ID/verification of callback number, in that order. Believe me, the first responders know what they are heading into, and have seen worse. Stay on the line and keep them updated while they're enroute, sure, but they don't need the gory details.

It is not like the brass will kill every microbe on contact. More like bacteria resistant, not 100% Not good for viruses either. I would not be licking brass doorknobs anytime soon.

I just wanna know what this weird a$$ door k**b is even supposed to be! What is it and what is it chewing on??
