    Sea cucumbers, when threatened, can sort of shoot out their intestines to confuse their predators, get away, and regenerate them. When I was an aide at a nursing home, I was very glad that people did not have this capability.

    In the early days of film making, the people who worked on the sets were called movies. The films were called motion pictures.

    The average useless facts thread contains 30% urban legend with no basis in reality.

    I bet I could find a website to refute this :smile:

    An apple, onion, and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavor are caused by their smell. To prove this - pinch your nose and take a bite from each. They will all taste sweet.

    I think I'll leave that experiment to someone who is a little more naive:laugh:

    It's actually true! When we were learning about the senses in my Psychology class, we tried this experiment. Nobody could tell the difference!
