My brother had a string of forgetting his toothbrush. It went so long that his just stopped bringing his toothbrush on trips. A new trip = a new toothbrush.
I always travel with a new toothbrush. If you bring an old toothbrush, wrap it in a bag...it's a nice greenhouse for bacteria to grow. So, it's actually better the way your brother does it.
So this guy is sitting at a bar reading a newspaper, and a girl walks in and sits down next to him. Reading the headline over his shoulder, "12 Brazilian soldiers killed in accident," she comments, "Oh, that's so sad."
"It is sad," agrees the guy, with a perplexed look on his face. "How many is a brazilian, anyway?"
Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world. Previously inhabited in large part by Tupi and Guarani peoples, Brazil was colonized by the Portuguese, who imported large numbers of slaves from West Africa to work on sugar plantations. The country was proclaimed an independent empire in 1822 and became a republic after the overthrow of the monarchy in 1889.
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

But, often times our browsers will cache items on the page (especially images and Flash™ documents.) This enables faster page loads, and less data transfer, which is actually nice. However, if you're a web developer, or someone who checks the tips site a lot for comments, you want to know that the information you're viewing is perfectly accurate. And, you don't want to empty your cache every time you look at a site. So, here's what you do.
