<p>Last spring, a chili pepper garden was opened on a campground in an area with a significant raccoon population. Since raccoons are attracted to the remnants of human food, campgrounds would usually attract raccoons, yet no raccoon encounters were reported by campers. Capsaicin, a chemical present in most chili peppers, is used in sprays engineered to repel raccoons, so it is reasonable to think that the capsaicin in the chili pepper garden kept the raccoons at bay.p>

<p>To settle their stomachs, young wild dogs often eat a particular type of grass. This grass has properties that prevent certain types of illness-causing bacteria from proliferating in their intestines. When the dogs have reached maturity, though, they seldom eat grass, and thus a significant amount of the bacteria can be found in their intestines. Strangely enough, in areas where little grass is available for consumption, few young dogs are found to have the illness caused by the bacteria.p>

<p>A common criticism of capitalist economies is that they encourage greed, but participants in capitalist systems must often act in their own self-interest. If they did otherwise—say they sold their product at a loss—then sustaining their companies, and the economy in general, would be difficult, if not impossible. Obviously, the greed people ascribe to capitalist economies is indicative of well-functioning economic systems.p>

Analysis of the jar in which the scroll was found, whose markings indicate that it is the scroll’s original container, showed that it was made of clay found in the vicinity of the Bethel community but not of the Shemula community, fifty miles away. This shows that the scroll most likely originated in the Bethel community.p>
