    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.

    Similarly to the driving on the left/right issue, spiral staircases in castles go in one particular direction so that defending is easier with your sheild in your left hand, sword in your right. You get more room for righties going downwards and swinging yer sword.

    The reason horses are raced around the track counter-clockwise is that they naturally have a longer stride on their right side. It's similar to most people being right handed.

    Hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons are all the same thing. The only difference is where they occur geopraphically.

    there has been an increase in the incidence of left handedness since they started doing multiple ultrasounds to babies.
    so they theorise that lefthandedness is actually a form of brain damage.


    also if youre stuck in a desert with no water suck on a pebble to keep thirst at bay.


    If you are oveheating and only have a small amount of water, we the insides of you wrists to maximise the cooling effect.

    More Germans are killed by crocodiles in Queensland, Australia, than actual Australians (in Cairns you will see signs stating 'Beware of the Crocodile' in both German and English).

    If you have taken any form of fabricated hallucinogenic more than 5 times in your life, you can be deemed as clinically insane. I used to have to take 10/day just to operate.
