Jonas Sickler, director of operations at ConsumerSafety.org said, &#8220;Most salt and pepper shakers are only wiped down if they appear dirty, and even then, only with a damp cloth that bussers keep in their pockets.<\/p>\n<p>While some restaurants collect, refill, and wipe down shakers, they are rarely properly emptied and sanitized.&#8221; A 2010 study conducted by ABC News found the average pepper shaker contained 11,600 bacteria. Sickler says since shakers are such a potential germ source, it&#8217;s a better idea to ask the chef to spice up your food in the kitchen, and just avoid using salt altogether.<\/p>\n<p><strong>______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A woman named Parul Patel owns a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida, and recently\u00a0had to put up a sign telling people they&#8217;re not allowed to use the microwave to warm up URINE.<\/p>\n<p>There are two labs that do drug tests nearby, and people have been bringing in clean urine to warm it up and pass it off as their own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cFirst Man\u201d (PG-13, Drama): \u00a0A look at the life of astronaut Neil Armstrong and the legendary space mission that led him to becoming the first man to walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969.

month, he was diagnosed with something called &#8220;Leber&#8217;s hereditary optic neuropathy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It means he&#8217;s going BLIND, and there&#8217;s nothing anyone can do

been coming to terms with it, and says his faith has been a big help.\u00a0 And now he&#8217;s on a mission to see as much as possible while he still can.\u00a0 He made a bucket list of all the stuff
