Wasted what?
As I was running through the internet one day, I came across some very interesting articles. And then I noticed that we were having a contest for some weird unknown facts that are actually facts. So the one I found quite interesting, is from Guinness. According to this article Guinness waste almost 163,000 pints of beer in facial hair every year. Now we all know that Guinness Irish Stout is an all-time favorite for our Irish friends, and we also know how our Irish friends love to grow that facial hair. Of course, there are quite a few men around the world that like to grow facial hair so that is not a fun fact. No the fun fact here is that Guinness, had an actual research study commissioned and they found is that an estimated 162,719 pints of Irish Stout go to waste every year. The study also said it was via the mustaches. So those pesky little mustaches, that men have upon their faces, are in fact drinking themselves a good old Irish Stout Guinness. The fascial hair actually traps 0.56 mm of Guinness in their mustache or beard. They even went so far as to count how that got into the average beard or mustache with each sip. They estimated that it takes about 10 sips to finish a pint. They took the average estimate of 92,370 Guinness consumers in the UK that has facial hair. And that’s only the UK. If they consume on average 180 pints each year, the total cost of Guinness wasted annually is $536,000. I found this absolutely astonishing and also why would you do a study like that? But apparently, at Guinness, they really want to know where their Irish Stout is going. I myself am not a fan of the Irish Stout. but I thought it was very interesting that a company would go so far as to see where their extra beer might be going. So looking at that math again we have 92,370 Guinness consumers with ten sips per pint, with 0.56 mm milliliters getting trapped in their mustaches and each sip which equals 162,719 pints of Irish Stout that go to waste every year costing Guinness $536,000 a year. It was cute they said the moral of the story was shave and save. I found this on a website called, best life and the website is bestlifeonline.com.

Do The Stars Really Align?
would like to start off by being blunt. I have never cared much for Zodiac signs. I've always believed that people carry their own thoughts and ambitions, none of which is dictated by the movements of the stars. Much as Vocal as challenged me to write, however, they have now begun to challenge me to learn. In this little article of mine, I will be writing my thoughts as I research my own Zodiac sign.

A Deeper Dive into Plastic Contamination of the Ocean
With our oceans already filled with over 160 million tons of garbage, our oceans are facing a crisis! It is now estimated that by 2050, plastic debris in the oceans will outnumber fish. Plastic consumption is rapidly increasing, putting marine life in harm's way and destroying natural ecosystems.

Uncommon Knowledge Is Not Very Common
I'm one of those people that since birth is on that eternal quest for knowledge and it could be because I am a Sagittarian by birth, driven to constantly learn. Learning new things with a healthy curiosity can over a long period of time enlighten ones scope of the world. It seems to me that common knowledge is not all that common because most people are not paying attention, to anything. Then we have the other problem in an information filled internet world where a lot of people put out incorrect and deliberate bad information. On the other hand uncommon knowledge is very well hidden from most of us.

Why Do People Believe in Conspiracy Theories?
In our age of information, knowledge is more accessible than it has ever been in human history. But not all sources keep to the same veracity. To the skeptic, it may seem easy to discern between truth and fiction, but anyone can be mislead. Too often we find loved ones, friends, and perhaps even ourselves believing false information, stubbornly holding fast to claims that seem beyond reason.

How To Vanish Without Leaving A Trace
When I say that if you want to vanish without a trace, I did some research and found out a way that you can. If the world does change and this "New World Order," or " The Great Reset," actually does happen, and I know that I don't want to be caught up with that mess, and I will not wear a brand or get microchipped. I am not a sheep, and I will not be treated like one.

Miscellaneous oxymorons
26FEB2021; 1220, FRI It's another R.E.D. (Remember Everyone Deployed) Friday in these uncertain and unprecedented times, and I figured that I might as well as "shoot my shot" at the newest "community" on this site for my 56th blog post. With any luck, this will be my very first "staff pick", or featured piece, if you will.

I Saw The Sign, But I Closed My Eyes
I swear that every time you get to know new people--whether that be in a work, school, or other social setting--someone always brings up the Zodiac. I hear a lot of things like, "oh yeah, I'm a Cancer" or "Gemini, through and through!" But when I'm asked about my sign, I used to just mumble something about being a Scorpio.

Fun fact
I hardly know where to begin. I guess the best place to start is to put what I am about to write into perspective. My perspective. Don’t feel bad if you disagree. That’s what makes the world interesting. We all have a unique voice, a different perspective of what is around us and what we interact with.
