A friend of ours shared these with us and for some reason. I found most of them to be true, at least from my perspective. And the more I read them, the more intrigued I got.

  8. Right-handed people tend to chew food on their right side.
  9. According to Albert Einstein, if honey bees were to disappear from the earth, humans would be dead within 4 years.
