Also - the orginal name of Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting was titled:
"Monna Lisa" 
Monna is the common italian shortening for Madonna - meaning My Lady
but today, the most recognisable name of the Painting (Mona Lisa) is due to a spelling error.

I like my coffee so hot that it burns me.
So i highly doubt this.

Feel free to read about the crafty indieBerrie-ways in which you can re-use your  left over cereal milk for your coffee milk. Genius.

Bacon is addictive. It contains six types of UMAMI - 
Umami produces an addictive neurochemical response

Don't worry, I googled umami too.

Scientists have also found that it is a good idea for pregnant women to eat bacon - because it contains the chemical choline - which stimulates fetal brain development.

As if you needed an excuse.

awesome, I knew most of those but you've just reminded me of some facts for our next quiz! Also - should you need it, reckon you can go into a job as an anatomical artist for medical books and stuff.

I didnt know pregnant goldfishies are called Twits. Thats great. I have a friend called Fish...do I wait til she's pregnant to tell her...hmmm

excellent my job as medical artist is on stand-by.

defs wait till your Fish friend is pregnant.
then - as a consolation prize - at least she can eat all the bacon she likes.

Ah BACON - my husband has always joked that Zoe and I are addicted to it, and now I can't wait to tell him that it's a proper, real addiction with chemicals and names and stuff. (Great to know we're not just greedy haha!)
