Does anyone remember the "Big Wad" chewing gum? I reckon everyone who chewed on that monstrosity is probably either running fortune 500 companies or retired and living the easy life.

Frankincense and myrrh were of course tree resins used for many purposes (including embalming, highlighting the obvious symoblism).

Historically it was believed these resins could improve blood flow, digestion, and the skin.

It must improve intelligence, because an auto mechanic chewing gum will usually discover how to retrieve a small bolt that has fallen into the engine compartment by attaching a stick to his hand, then his ABC (already been chewed) gum to the other end of the stick, then the gum to the bolt.

It is not widely known, but chewing gum is also used to evaluate newly-elected Congressmen. They must begin chewing gum in a seated position, then stand up and attempt to walk while continuing to chew. Historically only 11-12 percent of them can do it.

Sorry, icebear, you are right. I was looking at their approval rating.

I have encouraged my kids to chew gum before test for years. It increases oxygen to your brain which in turn helps you think!
