Interesting things to know about the towel

How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut.  No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).  Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet).

president uhuru is intelligent

My belief that I Uhuru Kenyatta is incompetent to initiate tangible economic development programmes in the country is unchanged. However, I do submit that I Uhuru Kenyatta is intelligent.

The talks of who and how many are going to accompany him to the Hague is yet another strong sign of his intelligence. It is a plus to the country conscience as it shows how Kenyans can be united against a common enemy. Given the funds I would join the entourage.
