Well, after asking where the term "eighty-sixed" came from and getting a full report from Matt on it just minutes later, I thought "hey, ya know, there's no telling the kind of junk that could be in his mind!" Of course he could have googled it...
Anyway, here's a place to post awesome facts, weird stuff, trivia, etc.
Ya know, the kind of information you won't learn at school and might some day use!
...What? Like you're gonna use calculous.

And to start us off...
Did you know that penguins have an organ in their nasal cavity that filters the salt out of salt water?
How about that blue whales have the largest brains of any animal and can ejaculate up to 250 gallons of semen at a time whereas the average human only ejaculates 14 gallons in their entire life?
And if you're not sufficiently disgusted, did you know that studies show that on average 1 out of every 9 McDonalds burgers contains a pubic hair?
On a less gross level, did you know that frogs use their eyes to force food down when they swallow?
...Mozzletoff.

If everyone in the USA jumped at the exact same time they would obliterate China...and everyone in the US can fit into Delaware.

Pirhanas can survive in a tank full of human blood! o_O

cats! ::supes::

Best. Fact. Ever.

Dogs? ::bat::

not that easy huh jake.. B)

Dolphins (I think) and Humans are the only creatures that have sex for pleasure.

Pig's orgasms last 30 minutes (I think).

Isn't that just a terrible waste?

Oh, that reminds me:

Humans and Elephants are the only creatures that freak out when they see the bones of their own kind. o_O

The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (a variety of the marijuana plant) paper.

Vin Diesel once punched a man in the face with such intense force, that the man's face ignited and travelled back in time, setting Rome alight. Odin was pretty pissed, but then Vin Diesel revealed that he was the sprig of mistletoe that killed Baldur, so Odin just piped down and got on with his business.

That can't be true... Hemp. That's just silly.

hmmmmm maybe we should try and smoke it or something.. :wacko:

"And why did you set the constitution on fire, sir?"
"I wanted to get high, man."


Anyway, another true fact:

There are four states of matter; liquid, solid, gas and plasma. Plasma is when the molecules in gas seperate so far that the atoms actually split, letting the electrons form a sort of "gaseous soup" where the remainder of the atoms float around.
Plasma, the fourth state of matter, is what stars are made of and what's inside most flourescent light bulbs.

you must never sleep in class... +_+

It was an off day.

~Not much of a fact, but theres a penguin ranch I think in Alaska, that is by a run way to an airport, so off course the planes come preety low over this penguin ranch were all of these penguins stand looking stright towards the planes. They keep there eyes locked on the plane and as the planes pass's over, there heads tip all the way back as their watching these planes. Bassicaly they fall right backwards flat on there backs watching planes instead of turning round an continuing lookin at the plane. An most of theres pengiuns who fall onto their backs cant get back up an so can be stuck like that for ages. So that brings me to my main point; theres an actual job for a guy to stand an watch the penguins, an as soon as a planes flies over he has to run out to the ranch an pick them all up otherwise they can die.

now thats priceless :wacko: ...i wonder how much the job pay's

...Does it matter? You get to say "Hi, I'm [insert name] and I untip penguins." That alone is priceless.
And you can get points with chicks that like animals.
Good all around.

Ramses condoms are named after Ramses II, a pharaoh who had over 160 children.
