TRIVIA TODAY - Monday, November 15, 2010

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Here's an interesting tidbit...did you know that flirting
might actually be good for your health? Frequent flirters
tend to have higher white blood-cell counts, which help fight
off pesky germs that make you sick. So, the next time you
make eye contact with someone, or exchange a smile, just
think about how you are doing your body good! Here's a few
more fun flirting facts...

Enjoy!

RANDOM TIDBITS

cell counts, which boost both immunity and health. Scientists
say there are 52 ?flirting signals? used by humans. Of these,
the hair-flip technique is the most common.

In Little Rock, AR, an antiquated law is still on the books
warning that engaging in playful banter may result in a 30-
day jail term. In New York City, another outdated law
mandates that men may be fined $25 for gazing lasciviously
at a female; a second conviction stipulates the offender
wear a pair of blinders whenever he goes out for a walk.

***
A full 62 percent of drivers have flirted with someone in a
different vehicle while on the go, and 31 percent of those
flirtations resulted in a date!

***********************************************************

In the Victorian era, fans were the ultimate playful props
that could communicate all sorts of messages. A fan placed
near the heart meant ?You have won my love.? A half-opened
fan pressed to the lips was an invitation, saying, ?You may
kiss me.? Hiding the eyes behind an open fan meant ?I love
you,? while opening and closing the fan several times was a
chastisement, implying, ?You are cruel.?

According to the Social Issues Research Centre, the most
common mistake people make when flirting is maintaining too
much eye contact.

***

Flirting is universal. A woman in New York City and one in
rural Cambodia may not have much in common, but when it
comes to attracting a little attention, they both employ
the very same move: smiling, arching their eyebrows, then
averting their gaze and giggling.
