However, when it comes to gross foods, not all are born from utter necessity. You’d be amazed to learn what disgusting things many people eat by [...]]]> http://www.toptenz.net/top-ten-grossest-foods.php/feed 48 http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-waves-ever-ridden.php http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-waves-ever-ridden.php#comments Thu, 21 Jan 2010 05:01:31 +0000 TopTenz Master http://www.toptenz.net/?p=5342 Measuring the size of a wave can be difficult. In most parts of the world a wave is measured from its face: the front of a wave from top to bottom. However, in Hawaii a wave is measured from the back.

I do, and I don’t need professional help to figure out the source – usually that salami sandwich or entire cheesecake I ate right before I went to bed. Recurring dreams, on the other hand, demand more of my attention – often because they are scary.

Until the Paris tasting in 1976, the myth that France was the only Country that could produce high quality wine lived on in oenophiles minds. Even though you may laugh at the myths below some people are still fooled by them.

In the olden days, people would think they were punishments from the gods, but these days, we know it’s a simple matter of tectonic plates shuffling and releasing the red-hot magma from the earth’s core.

These disasters are extremely crushing, to those who are both affected directly, and even indirectly.

The biggest problem with unhealthy fad diets is that you shouldn’t stay on any of them for extended periods of time because they are generally unbalanced nutritionally.
