Random Thursday

So nothing new on the Disney Desk Calendar front. So far no more mistakes either. But this past two weeks have had a lot of Pinocchio pictures. But oh well. Onto That's a Fact Jack: A Collection of Utterly Useless Information [Updated] by Harry Bright and Jakob Anser!

"Walking corpse syndrome is a rare mental disorder where sufferers imagine they are decomposing, dead, or nonexistent. There is no known cure."

Wow. That's scary, and very sad.


"Snake oil actually has curative powers. High in omega-3 fatty acids, snake oil is effective in treating symptoms related to arthritis, as well as preventing heart disease, stroke, and even depression."

More intriguing facts. Though...I don't think I'd want to ingest this stuff. Betting on that it has to be ingested to cure all!

    hmm wonder when the walking corpse syndrome was discovered or named. was it after all the zombie craze? i wonder. interesting about the snake oil. I am firm believer in oils... I use them all the time. Of course mine come from plants not snakes. Snakes are kind of gross

    Walking Corpse Syndrome is really a thing? I definitely do NOT want that! I can't imagine being convinced I was decomposing:( Thanks for these morbidly fascinating facts Jessica!
