That is absolutely not true. Bees defend themselves. Against mites, skunks, mice, and other bees. Also, beekeepers, even those who love their bees, are oft forced to "dethrone" a queen. And some of the girls in the hive get squisshed, accidentally from time to time, as well. Side: False
Is that because we have two feet to step into the river with ? So therefor we have to take two steps to actually step into it but if we only had one leg we would only be able to hop not step into it. or is it because the rivers flowing and if it wasnt flowing then the river would run dry and then you would only be stepping into a dry riverbed ? Side: True
Not being able to step into the same river twice is because the river is flowing and so is never the same. Not being able to step into the same river once is because "same" requires us to compare two or more events (or things). Stepping into the river once is a single event. We need to step into the river twice in order to know if its the same. Just some silly word play. Side: True

The name ketchup was derived from Asian culture from a pickled fish sauce, known as ke-tsiap There were no tomatoes in the original ketchup until after it crossed the oceans in the 1700s' . The first ketchup recipe was printed in 1727. btw- tomatoes are a fruit. Up until the early 1800s, tomatoes were thought to be poisonous. Then in 1820, when on the courthouse steps in Salem, New Jersey , Colonel Robert Johnson ate an entire basket of them proving them safe after not dying , it set of a "kethup" production craze . By the 1930s it became a staple of American diets. In an effort to boost sales one manufacturer bottled it as Dr. Miles Compound Extract of Tomato, claiming it to cure just about anything. H.J. Heinz company rooted out scientific studies which claimed that tomatoes had antioxidants which were beneficial in preventing cancers. Side: True
