    Rock is the best most talented type of music. So much so in the animal and insect world they all BOW DOWN!!! Supporting FACTS!

    Termites eat through wood faster while listening to rock music!



    We all get a little pumped up after blasting ACDC while driving down the highway - how can you resist such a powerful sensation? According to a study done by Dr Trenchard Bowelson (the name sounds made up but it isn't), termites can't resist the power of rock either!

    In fact, if termites are chewing through wood in the presence of rock music, they will actually eat through the wood twice as fast as they normally would have! Termites just can't resist rocking out - nobody can. Click the source to read the full report done by Dr. Trenchard Bowelson

    I had to google this one, I heard it before.

    Some people want to be buried in a cemetery, others want to have their ashes spread across an ocean, but some people, such as the founder of Holy Smokes, Thad Holmes, want to have their ashes loaded into 250 shotgun shells and used by their loved ones to hunt animals.

    Thad is an avid outdoors man, and so is his son, and they both believe that the best way for his son to remember Thad is to use him once every year to hunt an animal. This simply bizarre idea evolved into a business ran by Thad called Holy Smokes.

    Basically, people send the company their loved ones ashes, and in return, the company places the ashes in 250 shells (of the family's choosing) and then sends the shells back to the family to use. This one of a kind business charges $850 for their services.

    After just a few months of the business being in operation, they already have a website and have had two different families use their services!

    if you chop off the head of a cockroach, it will starve to death before suffocating as they can take in oxygen through their skin ( or so I read/heard once upon a time, I have no proof)
