This one is not for those easily sickened by gross stories.

A Benito, Florida Middle School student performed an interesting science project in which she took water samples from fastfood restaurants and tested them for bacteria.   Her water samples were taken from toilets and ... ice for sodas.   Her findings?   70% of the time the toilet water contained less bacteria!

Jasmine Roberts won the science fair at the New Tampa school but her findings startled the budding scientist.   "I thought there might be a little bacteria in the ice, but I never expected it to be this much," she said. "And I never thought the toilet water would be cleaner."

The Tampa Bay Tribune says, "Geoff Luebkemann, director of the division for hotels and restaurants at the (Florida) Department of Business and Professional Regulation, said people shouldn't swear off fast food ice just yet."

Yea right.   Obviously dogs are smarter than humans.
