The Today Show Talks About Germs!

Every morning I put on The Today Show while I make breakfast and coffee. Although I'm usually annoyed with Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera (Katie Couric look-alike), I keep it on because they show the weather and I know if anything big has happend over night.

Yesterday, they had a special segment which "exposed" the fact that shopping carts are covered with bacteria and fecal matter. It's apparently part of a series they're doing on germs. Today, they talked about how vacuums have E. coli on their brissles and when a person vacuums, the bacteria are dragged around the room. If I wash my hands any more, the skin is going to fall off.
