Wasn't sure so I looked it up -- Camel hair brushes actually consist of various inexpensive hair types like Asian pony, bear, sheep or lesser grade squirrel hair. There is not a single hair from a real camel in a camel hair brush.

Question- 2 parts!:

Are you more susceptible to getting tetanus from stepping on a rusty nail as opposed to a non-rusty nail? Why?

Whether it is rusty or not, any object that punctures or damages the skin can lead to tetanus. According to Dr Andrew Lloyd, an infectious disease physician in Sydney, Australia: "If you get a deep wound in a dirty environment, dirt contaminated with Clostridium tetani could enter the wound. The fact that the nail is rusty has no affect on whether or not tetanus develops."

In 1934, the cocktail was called "Red Snapper" at the St. Regis Hotel, where Tabasco sauce was added to the drink, and the name "Bloody Mary" eventually won popularity.

????? is that it ???

- Lost Prime Minister - In 1967, Harold Holt, the Prime Minister of Australia went for a swim at the beach and was never seen again. Theories about his disappearance include kidnapping by a Russian submarine, eaten by a shark or being carried away by the tide.

Also learned that the term Waltzing Matilda means 'carrying a backpack' in German.  Never knew what that song meant!
