Episode notes
Stingray Shuffle To Avoid Beach Stings
- Drag your feet on beaches to avoid stingray injuries by scaring them away with vibrations.
- Do the "stingray shuffle" instead of stepping to prevent painful stings when walking in shallow sand.
Museum Of Bad Art's Low-Value Reward
- The Museum of Bad Art in Boston offered a $6.50 reward because the painting 'Eileen' was genuinely low-value art.
- 'Eileen' had been fished from the trash and slashed before the museum acquired and later recovered it.
Wear Sunscreen Daily Indoors
- Apply SPF daily even if mostly indoors because sunlight through windows still exposes you to UV.
- Consider daily sunscreen especially if your job places you near windows or at altitude like pilots or drivers.
