The man who added lead to petrol also developed CFCs for fridges (what a nice bloke)  however when disabled he developed a complex machine with pullies etc. to turn him over in bed.  It broke and strangled him.

I'll let you know....

I've heard the same about rice too, and that it's cruel to birds to throw it at weddings because they fill their stomachs with it, then the rice soaks up all the fluids, expands and causes their stomachs to burst inside them.  :)

Once watched a full Documentary on the Honey Badger and it reminded me
of my Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
He has this kind of fearlessness and determination.
