One way to tell large kangaroos apart is by their noses. A wallaroo's nose has a large black bare patch around it. A red kangaroo has a smaller, boomerang-shaped black bare patch on its nose. The gray kangaroo has bare narrow bands around the nostrils and the rest of the nose is covered in hair.

Saints row 2 was ported to PC by CD Projeckt, not Volition. Volition still has their name all over the place, but it's buggy as all hell.

It's red faction 2 all over again, and if they think they'll get $30 out of me for guerrilla, they're batty.

A fish can get sea sick.

Sea cucumbers have an amazing defence ,, they actualy vomit up their insides.

A starfish, cut into four pieces, will succesfully turn into four starfish.

A shark is not a fish, a fish has bones and/or scales. Sharks have no scales, and have no skeliton, they have an inner frame made of dense cartilage. This is also the case with rays.

A typical wolf has an IQ the same as a 5 year old child. about 70 on the Stanford/Bennet IQ Scale.

A garden snail can cross a razer blade and not cut itself

Yellow Mold is a fungus on the move,, It can travel on its own about 3 inches an hour to find food sources.

Celery is actualy toxic. Until it ripens ( first frost) it is a neuro toxin. Even ripe it can numb your mouth after eating it.

Sausages were invented as a way to keep meat from spoiling.

The acidity level of unripened Pineapple can etch iron.

Philipe DeCatronovo escaped attentions of the Spanish Inquistion by living as a woman for 23 years.

Abraham Lincoln did not free slaves in the south because he bleived in human rights, he freed them as a punitive damage against southern landowners as a punitive damage  for them financing the Civil War in the US.

If you think this is a cool fact then you MUST read the book A People's History of America. I had not read it and Jack turned me onto it. You will discover some unbelieveable information about the history that you were taught in school and what actually happened.

I meant nothing racist about it.

Lets not go there again please. Most of us are grown ups and understand that posting fact is fact, slander is a completely different cup of tea. (There I used the "tea" word)

Technically, no one can slander another person here.  It would be consider libel.

Nah, I wish.  It's because they no longer have gravity weighing down and compressing their spine so the vertebrates are able to spread out a bit.  

It's the same reason you are taller in the morning (assuming you sleep at night) than you are before you lay down to bed, for as you go throughout your day, every step is compressing your spine a little at a time but when you lay down, the effect of gravity on your spine is severally lessened and the vertebrates spread out again.
