bit of a weird question but have you ever seen turtles at it (not in a crazy weird way) but it's just so funny

ACtually in grade 7, we went on a field trip to Science North in Sudbury. They had tons of animals and one of the exhibits was turtles. Although they were going at it :/ Very lazily I might add. But anyways we took a bunch of pictures and on the way back home the Teachers deleted all of them... But it's burned in my memory.

I bet the teacher secretly saved them and looked at them for a laugh when he/she got home...

"Santa Claus" is probably a mispronunciation of "Saint Nicholas." (see it?)

It does indeed mean Saint Nicholas, but rather than a mispronunciation, it is most likely an anglicised version of the Dutch 'Sinterklaas'.

OT: the capital of Madagascar is called Antananarivo.

1. Toothpaste dries out and removes mosguito bites. Just makes sure it dries before you accidentally rub up aqainst anythinq.

But be warned, only leave the tooth paste on for 5 minutes, any longer and it burns your skin, quite badly, I know this because my ex shoved some on her eyelid before bed time and she couldn't open her eyes for 2 days.

Your eyelids are extremely sensitive, and one probably shouldn't use toothpaste on them at all. However, other locations, like the leqs, arms, and torso are fine, and I have kept toothpaste on some bites for three days without any neqative effects.

Also, another fact! There is a town in Tennessee called Hitlerville, and there is a town in Pennsylvania with the name of Intercourse.

this is because fluoride is a powerful chemical and why do people even put it in toothpaste i mean seriously that qoes in your mouth oh wait that is why it says do not swallow i see now

I'm sorry, but I have to ask: why are all your 'g's and 'q's switched?

Glass is not actually a solid but is concidered a Super-Cooled Liquid

Actually a falsehood gained from the observation that old church and cathedral windows were thicker at the bottom, leading to the theory that it's very slowly running. But in fact during the periods in which these windows were made glass-making wasn't a precise process, leading windows thinner at one end than the other and obviously they put thick end at the bottom.

I think that serves as both a debunking and a useless fact in itself.

Actually, glass is a really slow-flowing liquid, even with today's standards of making it.

There is no such thing as a "solid" object. An atom is made up of mostly empty space.

There are always virtual particles and particles that make up hardons, baryons and mesons like quarks that are smaller than atoms.

[Bourne Endeavor]

I once did a mathematical analysis of how many hours - by approximation - I have spent playing video games, watching TV, surfing the Internet and sleeping in my entire life. If memory serves me, it was somewhere close to 75% Could be higher considering I do not believe I factor in any of my childhood television shows or anime. Suffice it to say, that is frightening. Ironically, my sleeping is in actuality substantially lower than what is deemed the norm for people because of my hatred for it, and therefore frequency is sleeping less.

It is completely worthless, I spent an hour to conclude it, there are probably miscalculations and I probably could cut back. Will I? Probably not.
