Do you ever wonder:
1. who the first person to realize mice like to run on wheels was?
How they determined it?

2. How big the pile would be if you took a fresh can of shaving cream and just emptied it?

It's no "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" but thanks for sharing!

I have not wondered those things. There is however, probably a government program that has studied them.

Are we talking the foam or gel shaving cream. If it's the gel do we need to convert it to foam after it's had been emptied out? Which brand and size are we using to test this?

no but when I dropped my alka seltzer in the water this morning I remembered something I heard long ago, i think it was actually said by my english teacher in 7th grade. He always said weird stuff, like egyptions had tool to extract the brain out of their nose or some such shit. He used to get mad at me because we both talked on cb radio and he was old and old school so he didn't have a cb name he used his license number, his cb radio license. I always just used j-bird, so he'd say "j-bird you have to state your radio license number". Anyway I think it was him that said if you gave alka seltzer tablets to pelicans that they would explode? Ever heard of that?

Pretty sure the alka seltzer making birds explode is a myth.

that was back about 1975 and I'm thinking he may have been close to 70 years old at the time. He also would say "when I was in the service guys would drink antifreeze to get drunk". He didn't explain that back then it was water and alcohol? I guess? At least that's what a know it all at the local watering hole told me. He was a nice enough guy but if you asked him for the time he'd tell you how to build a clock. Sound familiar? (that's what I often do)

If McDonald's sells hamburgers with bacon on them... why can't you ever smell bacon cooking in McDonald's?

The bacon is precooked and it only goes on the grill for 15 seconds or something like that. Then it goes on a sheet pan with a wire rack on it but there's really no grease from it. That just sits on the shelf over the condiments and a slice or 2 is removed as needed. One manager I had would even ladle some oil from one of the friers onto the grill before he made bacon. So I suppose it's because it just isn't on the grill long, it's a "clamshell" grill so the top is closed, and the exhaust vent over the grill is quite strong . That was about 20 years ago but they probably haven't changed anything.
Just for shits and giggles, I started this as a new paragraph and indented, I indented my original post and as you can see it didn't indent.
