All porcupines float in water.
Armadillos are the only animals besides humans that can get
leprosy.
Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks
otherwise it will digest itself.
A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.
The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a
letter is 'uncopyrightable'.
It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up.
The frog throws up its stomach first, so the stomach is dangling
out of its mouth. Then the frog uses its forearms to dig out all
of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back
down again.
A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.
Studies show that if a cat falls off the 7th floor of a
building, it has about 30% less chance of surviving than a cat
that falls off the 20th floor. It supposedly takes about eight
floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and
correct itself.
Emus and kangaroos cannot walk backwards, and are on the
Australian coat of arms for that reason.
Norvelle Rogers is the real name of 'Shaggy' in Scooby Doo.
Certain frogs can be frozen solid, then thawed, and survive.
Cat's urine glows under UV light
Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie.
Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the
child reaches 2-6 years of age.
In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.

unicorns were not always associated with sissy girl things.
in old folklore they were known to kill lions. man kind could catch one by luring them out with a virgin girl who would then place a golden bridle upon the beast, if the girl lied an thus was not a virgin the unicorn would kill her for being unpure and lying O.O

Princess Mononoke is an awsome film but there was one small blooper during the film: as the wild boars are leaving the meadow (after seeing Ashitaka and meeting up with Morro) if you listen close you can hear a rooster crowing along with the pig sounds.
took me years to realize it as i own chickens and our own rooster never shuts up! XD

I just died for the 100th time in NetHack.
This calls for some sort of celebration.

corals may look like a plant but they are actually invertebrate animals that contain symbiotic algae in their tissues that turn sunlight into food.
in an aquarium the brighter the light the better the coral color as they will turn brown if not enough light is provided in an attempt to obsorb more light.
corals come in 3 catgegories: SPS (small polyp stony coral) LPS (large polyp stony coral) and Soft (no calcuim base just fleshy tissue)
some corals have no symbiotic algae and are filter feeders, these are hard to keep alive in captivity and odly enough include a species called the "sun coral" even though it grows in shadows.
(i has a 70 gallon reef aquarium BTW )

A couple that I found interesting ^__^
-In the average lifetime, a person will walk the equivalent of 5 times around the equator.
-The 57 on Heinz ketchup bottles represents the number of varieties of pickles the company once had.
-The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C.
-Mario, of Super Mario Bros. fame, appeared in the 1981 arcade game, Donkey Kong. His original name was Jumpman, but was changed to Mario to honor the Nintendo of America's landlord, Mario Segali.
-On average, there are 178 sesame seeds on each McDonalds BigMac bun.

I have been on tv twice, once as a local plug for the Fox station a loooong time ago... I was plugging Tiny toons, that's how long ago it was.
Second time (If I recall correctly) was on a semi-national news story kind of show cause I guess being a good person is a rare thing anymore...

Also, Kajet, whenever I read your signature, Denis Leary's "Asshole" song plays in my head.

i was on tv at least once, when a Lara Croft lookalike came to some video game store and they were shooting views of the crowd.
interesting fact: that was the day i heard "never gonna give you up" for the first time. Never did quite get that song out of my head...

Did you know that a pig's orgasm last for half an hour.
Did you know that a dolphin can ejaculate up to 18 feet.
I do...and I never forget it....thank you 2sense for ruining so many parts of my fragile little mind.

I've heard worse. For instance, the female bedbug has no "hole" for the male to "insert" himself into. So the male literally bores into the female's shell and ejaculates.
And getting off in a different direction, the werewolves of legends were not fearsome creatures. In fact, in Portuguese myth, the werewolf was an incredibly cowardly critter. They were very scared of light and were said to gather round houses and bark at them until the homeowner blew out all the candles.

I actualy remember hearing that a few years ago.
Wolves have three types of holws. One for territory, one for locating other pack members or giving their current location, and one to rally a pack or packs (I forget if it was both or just one)

Robert Oppenhiemer, the creater of the atomic bomb quoted a Hindu scripture upon seeing the destruction of the first testing of the bomb. " I am become death, destroyer of worlds." He sank slowly into insanity soon after.
