After Reading This, You Will Never Use Your Phone In A Toilet Again!

We all have that weird habit of taking our phone into the toilet. However, did you know that in this way you’re exposing yourself and others to E.Coli, salmonella, and other dangerous germs?

Dr. Lisa Ackerley is a hygiene expert who explains that wiping your private parts after using the bathroom and then immediately picking up your phone, means transfer of the bacteria from your hands to your phone.

So, washing your hands after doing this is practically pointless, since as soon as you touch your phone – which we know it’ll be soon, the bacteria will get back on your hands.

So, what is the right thing to do?

The director of Biomedical Science Degree Programmes, DMS at Queen Mary University of London, Dr. Ron Cutler, gives a simple yet important advice. He says if you like to prevent transfer of fecal contamination and viruses, you better not take your phone into the toilet.

According to him, the contamination level depends a lot on the location of the toilet. If it’s in a small office, there shouldn’t be any serious problem, but if it’s in cruise ship or hospital where viruses may be circulating, the risk is drastically higher.

Although the most common way of transferring viruses is by hands, it’s not the only one. Dr. Ackerley explains that spray is able to travel around 6 feet from the flush, so keep your toothbrush away from the toilet. Also, make sure you don’t put your phone on any shelf or toilet roll holder near the toilet.

Germs can even survive on your phone for days! Phones are nice warm environment for bacteria as they heat up a bit. What’s more, they will become even more bacteria-friendly area if you leave a sticky coating on your phone when handling some sweets. That’s why you should always wash your hands with water and soap, and leave your phone in your pocket or bag before going to the toilet.

The Atheist and the Bear - Hilarious Story

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself.

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly charge towards him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing.

He ran even faster, so scared that tears were coming to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him.

At that instant the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...."
Time stopped.
The bear froze.
The forest was silent.
Even the river stopped moving.

As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don't exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?"

The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?"

"Very well," said the voice.
The light went out.
The river ran again.
And the sounds of the forest resumed.
And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together...bowed his head and spoke:

"Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful...AMEN!"
