Interesting Facts!

1. Printers Spy On You

Printer manufacturers print invisible yellow dots on consumer\'s prints that check to see if a person is printing counterfeit money. If you call your printer manufacturer and ask them to \"please stop spying on you\", they will send secret services to your address to find out why you care about your privacy. Upset? You should be. The more people who call their printer\'s manufacturers and make this request, the more likely secret services will refuse to investigate.

The pyramids were paper white and as smooth as glass, toping the pyramid was a golden capstone that gleamed in the desert sun. It was an amazing spectacle. The pyramids somewhat stayed in this state until the Arab invasion of Egypt around AD 500. The Arab invaders stripped the pyramid of it's smooth limestone and built a huge section of Cairo. Many of the Mosques and Palaces of Cairo consist of the Ancient stones of the pyramids. Quite sad actually
