In a fast-paced world, life can sometimes be daunting. Fortunately, the state of Michigan has online advice for almost every aspect of life, from shopping to gardening, eating to driving. Sure, some of it may be painfully obvious, nitpicky or bizarre, but just remember: The state knows what's best for you.

Jenny Grandtheft knows best.

It's also important to remember your offspring. When you take your child in the car, "Place something that you'll need at your next stop such as a purse, a lunch, gym bag or briefcase on the floor of the backseat where the child is sitting. This simple act could help prevent you from accidentally forgetting a child" (Hot Weather and Vehicles).
So if you're so absentminded you can forget your own kid in the back of your car, you're likely to remember your gym bag?
And what's with "Mercury Spills and Your Pet"? "Have you spilled mercury on your pet? Wash the unfortunate creature with shampoo containing selenium sulfide." Is this a common occurrence in Michigan?

WOW this must be what 2 penny Jenny needed the 2 cents for. I’m upset that didn’t pass, I would love to give her my 2 cents worth.

Yes, we have all of these expenditures, but they are *far* more important than teachers, police and fire. We NEED to know how to clean off a mercury-bathed pet!!! /SARC

I bet they have directions on how to go to the bathroom (#2) such as how many squares to use - as per some moronic musician, only use 2 squares.
Have to look sometime when I hae time. LOL :)

Is all this from the many mundane adventures of Captain Obvious. I've got one; If you become sleepy go to bed. I think a video tutorial would be perfect for this.
