You should wash your dog’s bedding in your washing machine on the hottest recommended setting, or at least 140 degrees Fahrenheit. To make sure the fabric won’t fade, test it by applying detergent to a seam or inconspicuous area on the bottom.

Fact

A bolt of lightning contains enough energy to toast 100,000 slices of bread.

If you consider that each bolt of lightning contains more than 5 billion Joules of energy, then the average 1,000-watt, two-slice toaster could be powered for 84,000 minutes with just one strike. That’s just enough time to toast about 100,000 slices of bread, bagels, English muffins—whatever you prefer.
