| Guest | (Yes, I had to comment on some of these...) Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell. (You know, I think I know some people whose brain still only occupies one cell!) Every year about 98% of atoms in your body are replaced. (Yeah, there is no God (or whatever ya wanna call it...) Hot water is heavier than cold. The only insect that can turn its head 360 degrees is the praying mantis. (OW) Sound travels 15 times faster through steel than through the air. At a jet plane's speed of 1,000 km (620mi) per hour, the length of the plane becomes one atom shorter than its original length. Time slows down near a black hole; inside it stops completely. (Who went into the black hole to find this out? Did they come back?) Ostriches are often not taken seriously. They can run faster than horses, and the males can roar like lions. Sloths take two weeks to digest their food. The duckbill platypus can store as many as six hundred worms in the pouches of its cheeks. Human birth control pills work on gorillas. (Were the condoms failing?) You can tell the sex of a horse by its teeth. Most males have 40, females have 36. (What about just looking between it's back legs?) Giraffes can't cough. (Cut's down on the cost of the zoo's cough syrup.) The mako shark and great white shark are two of the few species of shark that are warm blooded. You can house break an armadillo. (Why?) The opossum is a North American mammal about the size of a cat. It looks much like an over sized rat. In fact, one type of opossum is actually called the rat opossum. What's most interesting about opossums is how it reacts to predators: if it can't escape and hissing and showing its teeth do not scare off the predator, they pretend to die. The thing is, it's not doing this because it wants to; it can't really control it. Its muscles tighten up in fear and it faints. (Well, instead of calling it the rat opossum, what about calling it the chicken opossum?) | ||

Well in that case they could make a whole truck load out of my body. 2. A moth has no stomach. In that case I am willing to give some of mine to any moth that might want one. Dont fight there is more than enough to go round. 3. A rat can fall from a five story building without injury. Does the SPCA know about the tests to find this out?? Dont worry no rats were killed during this experiment, except for the one that was dropped from the 6th story, but we stopped after that. 4. 99% of people cannot lick their elbow. Ah, and I am one of those... 5. In Cleveland, Ohio it is illegal to catch mice without a hunting license. Maybe they got big mice... 6. A shrimp's heart is in its head. Gives new meaning to the phrase, "A pounding head ach". 7. By recycling just one glass bottle, the amount of energy that is being saved is enough to light a 100 watt bulb for four hours. You know this point is a bit strange, I wired a 100w light bulb to a bottle and nothing happened... 8. More Monopoly money is printed in a year, than real money printed throughout the world. Well thats because what they use in most 3rd world countries. 9. Cats cannot taste sweet things. And you know this how, tell me your cat told you... 10. For every 'normal' webpage, there are five porn pages. And I am working my hardest to try and get through them all, but everytime I think I am getting there, someone starts a new web site.
