    A sunroof and moonroof are the same thing. No difference! I always thought a moonroof tilts open and a sunroof slides open. Wrong.


    This is incorrect. The moonroof is when you give a sunroof a pressed ham.

    Hahaha took me a minute, but I get it now.

    I still don't get it. :ohwell:

    Did you know the loose skin on your elbow is called a weenus?

    My brother and I used to call each other weenuses. I never knew.

    Considering all the tissues and cells in your body, 25 million new cells are being produced each second. That's a little less than the population of Canada - every second !

    Every 7 to 10 years your body has completely grown every cell. So you are like a whole new person! So, if you stop smoking cigarettes today you will not (so I heard) have any signs of past smoking in your body 7 to 10 years from now.

    There are between 50 and 75 trillion cells in the body.... Each type of cell has its own life span, and when a human dies it may take hours or day before all the cells in the body die." (Forensic investigators take advantage of this vaguely morbid fact when determining the cause and time of death of homicide victims.)

    Red blood cells live for about four months, while white blood cells live on average more than a year. Skin cells live about two or three weeks. Colon cells have it rough: They die off after about four days. Sperm cells have a life span of only about three days, while brain cells typically last an entire lifetime (neurons in the cerebral cortex, for example, are not replaced when they die).

    It is well known that consuming asparagus makes your pee smell unusual but it's still not known exactly what causes the change.

    That would be a lot of damn fidgeting. :huh:

    That is so me! I am constantly moving, unless I'm asleep. I can't NOT move when I'm awake.

    Two nights before he broke the sound barrier, Chuck Yeager fell off a horse breaking several ribs. He didn't tell anyone because he didn't want to be taken off the mission. He had a local veterinarian tape him up.

    I'm doing this to one of my kids tonight.

    A very important piece of advice: Please make sure, very sure, that the kids are your own! ;-)

    Did you know that hens have two ovaries but only the left one controls egg manufacture.
    If it is damaged the other one takes over, revs up the testosterone levels and changes the hen into a rooster.

    I always thought a moon roof was a solid panel covering a translucent panel/pane while a sunroof was a translucent panel only, regardless of slide or tilt etc.

    Did you know that back in 1518 there was a month-long plague of inexplicable dancing in Strasbourg, in which hundreds of people danced for about a month for no apparent reason. Several of them danced themselves to death! It was called The Dance Fever. (true story)

    Did you know only a minute group of people believed that the earth was flat during the time of Columbus. A majority of the people of the time did believe the earth was round.
