Good morning. Cold pizza and cold huggles - yay!
In exactly one week, I'll be starting my morning with a Boma breakfast and then it's off to see the yeti in the morning and the Magic Kingdom in the afternoon.
Any requests? (please don't remind me of the "churro thing" from last year.)

Dear Yahoo!:
Do toilet seat covers provide any real protection?

Dear Lisa:
Nope, but your seat doesn't really need protecting. All those paper covers do is mentally separate your backside from the countless bums that have occupied the same space. Before anyone gets their panties in a twist, let's listen to a few medical resources:
"To my knowledge, no one has ever acquired an STD on the toilet seat -- unless they were having ______ on the toilet seat!" according to Dr. Abigail Salyers, president of the American Society for Microbiology, quoted on WebMD.
"It's OK to sit down. Most organisms that cause STDs will not survive for long on a toilet seat," notes Dr. Sherry Marts, scientific director of the Society for Women's Health Research, on the Swedish Medical Center's site.
As Columbia University's Health Promotion Program sums up: "Because toilet seats are not major culprits in spreading disease, paper or plastic seat covers offer little more than peace of mind." In fact, you have more to fear from bathroom door handles and faucets than from commodes.
And while we're on the topic, you might consider something to cover that phone receiver. A University of Arizona microbiology team tested a dozen office surfaces including the bathroom. The scientists found that phone receivers had 25,000 bacteria per square inch, while toilet seats had only 49 bacteria per square inch. Talk about calling in sick!

That's why I never touch anything in a bathroom with my hands.
I think there was a local kid who did a science fair project on the amount of bacteria on a Wendy's toilet seat vs. the amount of bacteria in a Wendy's ice maker.
There was more bacteria in the ice maker.
