VOLKSWAGEN’S 2014 SUPER BOWL commercial centers around VW’s claim that the brand has the most vehicles on the road with over 100,000 miles. The commercials’ premise is that every time a VW hits 100,000 miles, a German engineer gets his wings.

FACTS
The biochemical effects of sex are no different than those after eating large quantities of chocolate. It was considered a sin to consume chocolate during the 16th and 17th centuries. It was once believed that chocolate could cure stomachaches and was used as a medicine during the 18th century. The largest bar of chocolate weighed 5,000 pounds and was created in the year 2000 in the city of Turin, Italy. 22 pounds is the amount of candy and chocolate that the average American consumes in a year, creating a combined total of 2.8 billion pounds annually.

SPOT: What made you choose Veterinary Sciences? I don’t know, I have just been surrounded by animals my whole life, so it’s just second nature to me. I just want to take care of animals. I don’t even think of why I want to do it. I just want to do it. How were you surrounded by animals? Well, my mom grew up on a farm, so we were always taking in animals, always taking in strays or whatever we could find. If someone would offer us a pet, we would just be like, OK, yeah.

What is your favorite kind of animal? I’d have to say, cats. My favorite thing was when we found this stray and she was pregnant so we raised a litter of kittens.
