My One-hundred-and-eighty-seventh Post

A few random tidbits of info I've been collecting:

• Did you know that in yeast breads, the role of sugar is to promote yeast growth, while salt's role is to control it.
• A better synonym of "condone" is "overlook" rather than "support," as many think.
  
• Botanically speaking, the banana is a herb. Also, try to work the phrase "botanically speaking" into your next conversation. Fun times.
• There are four types of marriages: monogamy, polygyny/polygymy, polyandry, and group marriage. (Monogamy is one wife, one husband. Polygyny is one husband, several wives. Polyandry is one wife, several husbands. Group marriage is self explanatory, I think)
