Ok, so while reading another post, I responded with a totally unrelated response to the OP, but to a person responding down the thread- it had nothing to do with the original post, but it was an odd fact that I felt compleed to share-

So, here is a new topic-

What random facts do you know that others might find interesting?

For example, my reponse had to do with socks dissappearing in the dryer... this is what I was told by an applicance company:

The dryer doesn't eat socks, the washing machine does! In a traditional top loading washer, there is usually a space between the top of the "basket" and the top of the washer to let the water escape- socks tend to float to the top since they are lighter, and can sometimes get swept "over the edge" with the water!

what do you know??? :drinker:

    The giraffe has the highest natural blood pressure in the animal kingdom, they have to have high blood pressure to get the blood all the way up their neck to their brains.

    You may not know it, but you have a third eyelid. Pull open the two more noticeable eyelids and take a look - it's located right in the corner by the tear duct. The third eyelid is left over from what's known as a "nictitating membrane," which is still present in animals like chickens, lizards and sharks.

    But my random fact is that cat urine glows under black light.
