Why is the ultrapure water so dangerous? Where do we get blue blood and what for? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Let's start with some given in this article.
#1 Ultrapure water is dangerous for health
Purified water is good for our health. However, ultrapure water can kill you. It contains no mineral salts and microelements. If you drink a glass or two it'll take these elements from your cells.
#2 When the Mona Lisa was stolen its empty frame attracted more people to the Louvre than the masterpiece itself
In 1911 the famous masterpiece was stolen by Vincenzo Perugia. As he said, he wanted to return the Mona Lisa to its home in Italy.
#3 Torre Mayor in Mexico is the most earthquake proofed building
Its height is 225 metres (738 feet). It has 55 stories and is one of the tallest building in Mexico and one of the safest in the world. It was constructed to withstand earthquakes measuring 8.5 on the Richter Scale.
#4 A pet turtle was found alive 30 years after it was lost
This happened in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The turtle was lost during the renovation 30 years ago and people found it in the storeroom among old things. It was alive!
#5 Horseshoe Crab's blood saves lives
Their blood contains copper and thus it is blue. It also contains amebocytes cells that fight pathogens. These characteristics make Horseshoe Crab's blood useful for detecting bacterial endotoxins.
#6 Elizabeth II has a "secret button" in her bag
In case she needs to leave a meeting earlier than planned or stop a conversation, she uses her handbag as a signal to her staff who is always ready to help.

I heard that the queen actually switches her handbag from one arm to the other to signal her people rather than having a button in it.
Marilyn Chris Scott
No don't think the queen has a secret button.Its the way she moves her bag is the signal
Karen Adams
Marquita Simmons, I heard the same
Carol Moore
David Holmes, it was in a storeroom. Probably in the floor. I question it can go that long without basking in the sun for vitamins.
Carol Moore
Armando Garciacano, it might have eaten bugs it found in the storeroom. It was probably a tortoise or some sort of box turtle.
Armando Garciacano
Turtle or tortoise?? It still has to eat something during 30 years. Possibly a different turtle??

Jeri Lee Lazar, As Bugs Bunny once said "Toitle Smoitle" means of course "Baloney"

HM The Queen has more than 1 signal she uses to alert staff and others for example individuals who are introducing her to guests at a function for them to gently usher her away to the next guest or that she wishes to move on or even retire altogether.

Picture 4 is of a tortoise not a turtle.

It's all interesting

The claim that ultrapure water can kill you is a myth. You would have to drink nothing else for decades to loose more than a negligible amount of minerals from your body.

The pet turtle story really! All very interesting especially the crab blood. Thank you.
David Holmes
The "turtle" story is highly questionable. If it had been in a cupboard for all that many years what did it find to eat?

I may have to look up a restaurant that prepares horse shoe crab sandwich so I can eat healthy.
George Oliver Prince
So the only way to provide proof the Mexico building is earthquake proof is for it to get hit by an 8.5 earthquake, heck of a way to test it
Tony Burrett
So if I have a horseshoe crab sandwich, it’s good for me, right?
