Elephants are the only animal that can't jump. A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. The praying mantis is the only insect that can turn its head to face behind it. The Basenji is the only dog which does not bark. Vultures sometimes eat so much they can't take off again. The giant squid has the largest eyes of any animal - The size of a soccer ball. And here are some quotes that proved horribly inaccurate: It doesn't matter what he does, he will never amount to anything. - Albert Einstein's teacher to his father, 1895 Whatever happens, the U.S. Navy is not going to be caught napping. - Frank Knox, U.S. Secretary of the Navy, on December 4, 1941 (3 days before Pearl Harbor was attacked) We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out. - Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962 I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. - Thomas J.

Supposedly it contains the remains of forty thousand people. So its not just the chandelier - http://www.kostnice.cz/ Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions?

It was a widely accepted theory before Columbus sailed to America. Do not upset the ugly worm, lest it be a dragon in disguise. (>oo)>   christine   10/2/2007 did you know? columbus thought the world had a "nipple" and the garden of eden was on the tip of it. just thought i'd throw that out there. I wanna be your lover, Lipstick my name across your mirror. Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter   Symia   10/3/2007 Weird. Did you know that Dachshund-chihuahua mixes are called "Chiweenies"?   ChiChi234   10/6/2007 A hedgehog's heart beats 300 times a minute on average. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. All polar bears are left handed. Bulls are colour blind, therefore will usually charge at a matador's waving cape no matter what color it is. On average, people fear spiders more than they do death. The sloth moves so slowly that green algae can and does grow on its fur. You are more likely to be killed by a Champagne cork than by a poisonous spider. A snail can sleep for three years. Eem Angry! Eem hit next poster!   Fairah   10/6/2007 Did you know? Being colour blind means that the colours are switched, you don't see just black and white. Thy profile looks very much like that sword point, lurking in the shadows and darkness. The only one who knows your true heart are the forest spirits... ...Only the spirits....   christine   10/8/2007 cause it's october playoff time, here's some basball facts! The inventor of baseball is also credited with firing the first Union shot of the Civil war. In major league baseball, the distance between bases is 90 feet . The distance from the pictures mound to home plate is 60 feet , 8 inches. Baseball ended one of its oldest traditions in 1997 when inter-league play was allowed for the first time. This means that teams from the American league can play National league teams during the regular season. The first inter league game was played on June 12, 1997. Babe Ruth wore a cabbage leaf under his cap to stay cool while playing baseball; he changed it every 2 innings. Major league umpire Cal Hubbard is the only person in both the football and baseball Hall of fame. Bob Feller and Kerry Woods are the only pitchers in history to accomplish this unusual feat : They both struck out one batter for every year of their age in a game. The baseball card dates all the way back to the 1800s and early 1900s. Hank Aaron had the most home runs in his career: 755. He didn't enter the Hall of Fame until 1982. 1998 was a great year for baseball, Mark Mcguire and Sammy Sosa brought America back to baseball. They battled it out for most home runs in a season with Mcguire winning with 69, to Sosa's 66. 2001 Barry Bonds became record holder for the most home runs in one season, with 73 homers.

No one knows why. European Hedgehogs can't be kept as pets in some places. You can't have a pet hedgehog in New York City. -GrayDragonEmily   KC11     10/13/2007 Did you know... A dog is more closely related to a human than a cat? We share about 87% of our genes with mice. Do not upset the ugly worm, lest it be a dragon in disguise. (>oo)>   Dreamnorn   10/15/2007 Did you know... That Sabre Tooth Tiger's have a modern relative: the Clouded Leopard? That Veloceraptor Dinosaurs are almost proven to have had feathers? That Cats, Dogs, and Bears share a common ancestor? That one tree can make over 12,000 pencils? That we might actually be what martian life might've become? A rock hit antarctica when the continent wasn't frozen, and it had organic compounds in it. These compounds may have polluted early Terran life.   KC11     10/15/2007 Oh my gosh! Sounds like a great movie. THE EXODUS FROM MARS Do not upset the ugly worm, lest it be a dragon in disguise. (>oo)>   Sixty Third Karias   10/16/2007 Did you know? * angel51431 is about the greatest .. and very right. * Even though some caterpillars take less than a year to become a moth, a certain Hepialid from the Indo-Austrailian area takes up to 5 years of Caterpillar life to pupate into a moth! Imagine the patience of keeping one. . * That even though most people who run into moths consider them all the same, there are more than 80,000 kinds in the world - And only a little more than 10,000 butterflies? Moths rule . . * That there is only one moth species in the USA that "eats" clothing (Blame the Europeans), - Because, it is often a beetle that causes household damage. * That too many people spell "Velociraptor " wrong? Amazing. * Also, there are more than 4 different Theropods larger and 'better' than the Tyrannosaurus rex OR bataar - And still, schools teach from stuff obviously older than 1991? -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate!   angel51431     10/16/2007 "angel51431 is about the greatest .. and very right." I knew that! lol suck-up. Nah, I agree, I am pretty awesome, hehehe... as long as I'm here. Here's some dog junk off the top of my head... did you know that in order for terriers to have a hard wiry coat, it needs to be hand stripped - or plucked out? bet you didn't. did you know that grey (dilute) dogs are born striped like watermelons, and later turn into a solid blue colour? Did you know that the Dandie Dinmot Terrier is the only breed named after a fictional character? did you know that small dogs are prone to luxating patellas, or loose kneecaps? did you know that avocadoes, grapes and raisins are toxic to dogs? Did you know that large dogs are prone to hip dysplasia, where the "ball" of the femur degenerates and does not fit into the socket of the hip? Did you know that small dogs tend to live to 13+ years, whereas the biggest dogs rarely live past 9 years? Did you know that striped dogs are called Brindle? That brown (self-coloured) dogs are usually called Liver? That lots of tiny spots is called "ticking" but when the dog is covered in them its called "roan"? That when a dog has tuxedo markings, they are considered "Irish marked"? That a dog that is more than 50% white is called piebald? A spotted pattern of blue and dark blue (or red and dark red) is generally called Merle. In dachshunds the same pattern is called Dapple. In Beaucerons it is called Harlequin. Beaucerons, Briards and Great Pyrenees are required to have a double dewclaw on their hind legs. The Komondor, Puli, Havanese, and Bergamasco have hair that naturally forms cords - dreadlocks. Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions? Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel.   Sixty Third Karias   10/17/2007 Man do I feel proud.. I said yes to every "did you know" angel posted.. Except about the Dandies. Did you know. . . That bird-like raptors are actually lizard hipped, whilist the "clumsy" sauropods are bird hipped? That the Rabid Wolf-Spider is actually less agressive than your common house-dwelling Wolf Spider? That during its young ages, a black widow is actually a marbled yellow and white, quite often mistaked for a different and rather attractive, harmless spider? That male Black Widows are harmless? That a common chemical used to coat apples, Shellac was used with beetle wings? Hence the name shellac. That one common used chemical to dilate your eyes at the doctor's office, Atropine (Also found in Belladonna), is actually an even a more common remedy to nerve agents used in war? That the awe-inspiring inversed pillows of a Cumulonimbus mammatus cloud formation are actually, quite often, not a sign of a forth-coming tornado? -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate!   Dreamnorn   10/17/2007 *smiles at KC11* Here's another amazing fact... The most logical reason for Dinosaurs to have gone extinct is for a catastrophic colision with a meteor 65 million years ago... and scientists have proof! We've found signs that not only Dinosaurs died quite suddenly 65 million years ago, but about two-thirds of all life on Earth! Scientists have found a subterranian crater that has been made by something with the diameter of 100km! That means that, when the meteor hit the ground, it was like firing about 100 Hydrogen Bombs at once! And the crater was dated to be-- surprise!-- 65 million years old! This is an amazing discovery, pointing out the most probable answer to the mystery that's haunted us for a long time. Hawksight   angel51431     10/17/2007 Karias, I'd be disappointed in you if you didn't know those, they're common knowledge among dog-savvy peoples. Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions? Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel.   Sixty Third Karias   10/18/2007 yeah.. Hey did I tell you yet about my new Akita? Did you know - The largest moth has a wingspan of up to 12 inches, and isn't a single species.. Both the Giant Agrippa and Atlas share the record. Go Agrippi. Among the first Survivor games, contestants have actually nearly died? (Not physically at their keyboards, just so you know..) -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate!   angel51431     10/18/2007 Nope. Tell me! Did I tell you about my new Italian Greyhounds yet? Actually i didn't. I have two iggies now! did you know that... Jack Russel Terriers have been officially considered Parson Russel Terriers by the AKC for like four years now? Did you know that there are two distinct types of them? Parson Russel being a square dog with long legs and button ears, and Jack Russell being a long dog on short legs, and usually upright ears. The Parson comes in a smooth coat, wire coat, and a "broken" coat, and a Jack Russell is usually always smooth. They're different types of the same breed that diverged dramatically Did you know that there are distinct differences between "bench" (show) and "field" (hunting) sporting dogs? Labradors, goldens, springers, setters all have very different types between the show dogs and the hunting dogs. Still considered the same breeds, but the types are so different and never interbred, so that they might as well not be. did you know that Australian shepherds were developed in California? did you know that the Azawakh is one of the only breeds that is supposed to be taller than they have length in body? did you know that clicker training - popular dog trainig method - was developed by dolphin trainers? Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions? Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel.   Ilaezha   10/21/2007 Did you know these strange Lincoln and Kennedy similarities...? Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. The names Lincoln and Kennedy each contain seven letters. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost a child while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters. Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Kennedy.' Kennedy was shot in a car called a 'Lincoln.'   Dreamnorn   11/6/2007 That's really cool! 8) Check out these interesting feline facts! Did you know... That a feline can see six times better than a human in the dark? That purring is produced by a false vocal chord? That Oriental Shorthair cats are actually connected to some of the cats in the UK? That Bengal housecats aren't afraid of getting wet? That all Siamese cat's eyes are blue? Dreamnorn   Symia   11/9/2007 If you want to know another interesting Lincoln/Kennedy fact (which I think is the oddest); Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, and Kennedy had a secratary named Lincoln O_o   NeverwinterCC   11/24/2007 XD werid Did you knwo taht in michigan theres a town called hell, and that the street the leads into the city is named after the the dude who came up with evolution? Rats are omnivores, But the only meat they eat is the meat form dead rats? (Kinda gross really..) Theres a species of ANIMAL called the waterbear that could live in space for up to 5 years with no oxygen, and survive almost everything nature throws at it? It's amazing really.. The things microscopic. That Rats ARN'T alergic to chocolate.. ( Mods you can shorten this is you think it's too long )   angel51431     11/24/2007 I'm challenging your rat facts. Get them straight, man. First of all, from first hand experience I'll tell you that rats certainly do eat meat, and pretty much any meat you give them. they also eat meat products such as dog food. I never fed mine dead rat. that's called scavanging. btw why are dead rats any more gross than some other dead animal? also. other animals (such as cats and dogs) are not *allergic* to chocolate. Chocolate is toxic (ie poisonous) to them. It has nothing to do with histamines. It has to do with toxic chemical buildup in the liver after digestion, i believe. Rats are able to digest the chocolate without succumbing to the chemical products in the end. Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions? Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel.   Sixty Third Karias   12/1/2007 Seriously!!! My first rat's favorite food was hotdogs.. my goodness. angel: the chocolate? I beleive it is the Alkaloids and Amines the animals cannot withstand. . Did you know . . That the Hoh Rainforest located in the state of Washington gets more than 230 inches of rain per year?! That the coldest average winter temperatures for a USA city are located in North Dakota, specifically around Langdon? -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate!   christine   12/2/2007 gee, the "facts" here are quite inaccurate. since angel debunked the rat one quite well, let me just say a couple more things: the lincoln/kennedy list is quite inaccurate (see snopes on the matter), and no one actually knows why cats purr. i don't really have time atm to check more stuff, but the point is, don't trust everything you read! I wanna be your lover, Lipstick my name across your mirror. Blood red with flaked gunshot glitter   Jacob   12/12/2007 Did you know the 20 precepts of Gichin Funakoshi are as follows: Karate is not only dojo training. Don't forget that Karate begins with a bow and ends with a bow. In Karate, never attack first. One who practices Karate must follow the way of justice First you must know yourself. Then you can know others. Spiritual development is paramount; technical skills are merely means to the end. You must release your mind. Misfortune comes out of laziness. Karate is a lifelong training. Put your everyday living into karate and you will find "myo" (the subtle secrets, the ideal state of existence, exquisite beauty). Karate is like hot water. If you do not give heat constantly it will again become cold. Do not think you have to win. Think that you do not have to lose. Victory depends on your ability to tell vulnerable points from invulnerable ones. Move according to your opponent. Consider your opponent's hands and legs as you would sharp swords. When you leave home, think that millions of opponents are waiting for you. Ready position for beginners and natural position for advanced students. Kata is one thing. Engaging in a real fight is another. Do not forget to correctly apply: light and heavy application of power, expansion and contraction of the body, and slowness and speed of techniques. Devise at all times. And Lastly this statement is probably one you should remember if you ever do study Karate, especially shotokan: Master Funakoshi says it is not the best karate man that can defeat 10 people. The best karate man is one who avoids conflict to start with. Not really active around these parts anymore.   angel51431     1/2/2008 did you know... that Dr. Cox on the show Scrubs is the coolest person evar? that blue cats are more interesting than non-blue ones? that digital picture frames are absolutely essential for anyone with a half-decent digital camera? that shiny things are PRETTY? that Jon Stewart should be king of Americaland? that snow is only fun while its falling and a total nuissance the next day? that Ukraine is the coolest country in Eastern Europe? that mugs are especially eyecatching when adorned with an image of an adorable barnayrd animal such as a piggie or a cow? that everything i just said is my opinion. Ergo, it is absolutely totally and inarguable true cause I rock? mm-hmm. Yes, I'm the forum ... Any questions? Rascii: You make my life difficult, angel.   Sixty Third Karias   1/10/2008 Did you know.. that "Happy Cows" are not from California, but . . Another reality? that TarScream is unbelievably, rediculously funny in an immature type way but still cool and such? that creating webpages in predone Programs like Frontpage and Dreamweaver is a task for lame-people with no talent or imagination? that MySpace is for lazy, lame, immature, uncreative, and extremely "sheepish" people, usually at the age of 6 to 19? Anyone who uses it older than those said ages has a mentality at those ages. Those are all things you should know as well, because what you should also know is that Mods, Managers, and Admins like angel never lie. - That the following words above this line are opinions of me, aswell. . Err, except the last said "fact." -Karias; a bit fruity and gone bananas in the wrong climate!
