- The strongest muscle in your body, compared to its size, are the tongue.
- The brain of an oustirge (cant spell that, the big birds, related to the emus) is smaller then its eye.
- Avredge a year, you have an intake of 4 pubic hairs from junk food.
- avredge a year, you hand shake with 8 dudes, who have masturbated, and NOT washed they're hands, and 5 women.
- the sheep's and goat's etc, have horizontal pupils, but as they bend down thire heads to eat, theire pupils STAY horizontal.
- My (only mine though, dont know how it got like that) pupils are of different size.
- Crabs CAN in fact get thirsty, WHEN they are in the water.
- The reason that dudes has nipples, are that after the lady gets pregnant, ALL starts out as girls, but then the dudes continue to "evolve" in to the dangly thing, as thus we still have nipples.
- In most counties, you are allowed to own a lockpic set, a police scanner, etc. but are NOT allowed to use it.
