    The average person has less than two legs.
    If you were to take every single Christmas tree which was used in Christmas 2012 and put these in Wembley stadium, England, you'd have no where to play football.

    The sex of an alligator is based on the tempearture of the egg. If the egg incubates at or less than 85 F, it will be female. If the incubation is at or above 91 F, it will be male. At about 89 F, there's an equal chance of it being male or female.

    Proof that genetically women are cold hearted.

    Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.

    The opposite of flammable is actually nonflammable.

    the QWERTY typewriter was actually designed to slow the typist down because the mechanical typewriters of the day were no match for the human fingers. . .

    Activated carbon is able to "clean" water and is used in filter because it has an enormous amount of surface area as compared to its volume. The process used to make it creates countess holes and divits in its surface that dramatically increase its surface area. Contaminants in water that passes through it are attracted to and caught on the surface of the carbon.

    Speaking of carbon, diamond and graphite (pencil "lead") are both pure carbon. And of the two, graphite is the more cheimcally stable form. In fact, diamons slowly revert back to graphite over a very long period of time. So all those ads that say "a diamond is forever" are actually false advetising. Pencils are forever.

    You can only fold a piece of paper seven times. After that, it becomes too thick to make a crease.

    If a pregnant rabbit feels it cannot support it's pregnancy to full term (for whatever reason) it's body will absorb the embryos back into the body...which is just darn weird! :noway:

    in cantonese slang, yee-maah which is the word for period. in usual conversation it is the word for auntie, which ties into the euphemism.

    "you wanna hang out today?" "

    "I can't my auntie is here".

    .true story.

    When our Sun "dies", it will swell to a red giant (possibly engulfing Venus or even Earth) and then collapse down to a white dwarf.

    Before you american's start calling us aussies convicts, be aware that england first shipped it's undesirables to you, that is until you kicked them out and had a little war. This is the main reason they started transporting us future aussies to australia. HA bet you didn't know that LOL

    The reason the British (and many of their former empires) drive on the left side of the road is because most people are right handed.

    In times where people travelled on horseback & had to be wary of maurauders they would have a sword strapped to their left hip so they could draw the sword with the right hand. Being on the left side of the road meant possible mauauders they met on the road approached from the right & could be met with a sword in hand. When cars came along they didn't feel the need to change.

    I heard this once, any Kiwis feel free to dispute that, it may not be true.
