Did you know..... Chat Thread! W/ Hosts: DwayneNLiz, kwhites634, BantyChooks, MotorcycleChick, C

Did you know that the last time I tried to donate blood I was asked, in a face-to-face interview, what my gender was?
Did you know I was so insulted that I got up & walked out?
 
Can someone solve this equation?

7x - 2 < 10

I'm usually pretty good at math and a quick learner so if you could explain it to me that would be great
If you chose x to be the number 2 it looks like this:
7 x 2 - 2 = 12
12 is not less than 10, so the number is going to be less than 10.

Did you know Jelly beans and apples are coveredwith some pretty gross stuffs?

Jellybeans are a tasty treat and come in many flavours, but did you realize their shiny coating is made from bug feces? Shellac, also known as confectioner’s glaze, is made from a resin excreted by the female lac beetle, indigenous to India and Thailand. The resin is processed into flakes, dissolved in denatured alcohol to make liquid shellac, and then sprayed on food products or used to make lacquer for hardwood floors and furniture.

Shellac is also sprayed on grocery store apples to make them shiny and keep them fresh in the store. When you pick an apple fresh from the tree and rub it on your shirt, you will produce a nice shine from the natural waxy protection already present in the apple skin. But if you wash that apple first, you won’t be able to make it shine as washing it removes the waxy coating. Apples sold in grocery stores must be washed for sanitary reasons and then sprayed with a fine mist of shellac to restore outer skin protection. Without this waxy layer, the washed apples would spoil too quickly.
