    The reason why the Mad Hatter out of Alice Wonderland hair is orange is because of mercury poisoning. He has mercury poisoning because the glue used to create hats in the Middle Ages contained mercury, many milliners died from it.

    As well as glassblowers! They used mercury to make mirrors in the Renaissance.

    Oooo interesting to know!

    If you have chickens, and one refuses to get off the nest, won't lay an egg and fluffs out her feathers and growls at you when you try to take her off the nest, she is brooding! She wants a baby (even though there is no rooster around to make one)!
    I know this because my hen, Big Bertha, is doing this right now! Totally screwing up the egg laying for the other hens too.

    One that a lot of people don't know...

    The best paper airplane (dart type) are made by cutting the paper lengthwise. This is because there's no extra weight from folding the plane to make it. It DOES require more arm power to launch.

    It is against the law to purchase or consume Jack Daniels Whiskey in the city where it is produced (Lynchburg, TN).

    Actually when I went on the tour they said they gave their employees a bottle every month but that was back in 1990. Perhaps things have changed. It smelled so wonderful there.

    Male and female rats may have sex twenty times a day.

    a "Calorie Free" drink is allowed to contian 4 calories per 250 ml of liquid, so essentially a calorie free drink could contain 8 calories... for example Powerade Zero

    edit - that is inorder to claim its calorie free

    the buzz you hear from a bee (wasp, fly, etc...) is not from its wings but from air passing over little holes in their skin.

    They can also tune this sound by closing or opening these holes

    When opossums are playing 'possum, they are not "playing." They actually pass out from sheer terror.

    When snakes are born with two heads, they fight each other for food.

    The elephant is the only mammal that can't jump.
