The idea of cat's having nine lives originates from the idea that witches could possess their cat.
W. Baldwin said:
Beware the Cat[/i](1584):]A cat hath nine lives, that is to say, a witch may take on her cat's body, nine times.
There are other such references but I can't be bothered to find them.

1. There are fish that can only live in sulfuric acid.
2. There are bacteria that have been known to survive re-entry on the hull of the space shuttle.
3. There is three times more bio mass under the surface of the earth than on top of it.
4. Giraffes can clean their own ears with their tongue.
5. Chimpanzees are the only species other than humans to participate in organized warfare.
6. The sun converts 700 million tons of hydrogen into 400 million tons of helium, 100 million tons of random elements, and 90000000000000000000000 joules of energy every second.
7. 90000000000000000000000 joules of energy is enough energy to run every machine humanity has ever created for longer than the human race will exist.
8. The largest star ever observed, LBV 1806-20, is 150 times larger than the sun.
9. If LBV 1806-20 was placed at the center of our the solar system, it's outer edge would reach about 7.5 times that of the orbit of Pluto.
10. Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell.

If you make a fist around your thumb and put your index finger down your throat you don't have a gag reflex.

I'm a teenage male who's a bookkeeper.

Over 70% of bookkeepers are women. "Lucky!" you might think, but...
Over 70% of bookkeepers are over 40 :(

Also, the word bookkeeper has three double letter in a row

All I can think of is that the word 'bed' actually looks like a bed, but somebody here will have said that.

People critise the old Team Fortress 2 screenshots for looking ugly, but if it wasn't for them, de_dust would never have been inspired.

Okay, I am going to do that all throughout my geography exam.

I have a towel with me right now! High five!

OT: Blackberries are purple. Derp.
What? Towel Day was five days ago? Dammit! I was looking forward to it! I even started reading Hitchhiker's Guide again so the quotes were fresh in my mind!

The reason Wednesday is so hard to spell is because it comes from the Anglo-Saxon Wodnesdæg. Wodnesdæg means Woden's(Odin's) Day. The "es" is a grammatical leftover meaning " 's "(possessive). Dæg is pronounced the same as "day". So sounded out it would be woad ness day, hence Wednesday.

In Chrono Trigger, the way to make both Golem and the GolemTwins obscenely easy is to equip Ruby Vests or Red Mail and exclusively use Ice and Fire attacks. When they copy your element, their attacks will become pitifully weak. I always laugh whenever I hear about people having trouble on these bosses.

There are more than 26 different unique characters in Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure. To unlock them, you have to collect their portraits and find all the dragon balls.

The Beretta 92 is the most popular pistol in cinema. Okay, this isn't a FACT, but I'm seriously like 99% positive it's true. Count 'em, they're freaking everywhere.

The song from Jackie's Cafe in Earthbound contains the Star Spangled Banner, if you listen closely.


You can hear it best at about 0:11

LIIIIIES! I just tried it twice to no avail. You're like one of those people who say "licking your elbow is physically impossible" but I've seen it done before.

Most people think the Atari Pong consoles were the first home consoles ever. It was actually the Magnavox Odyssey.

The more you know!
Similarly, dolphins are the only other animal besides humans who kill for sport/amusement. They also play with the corpse

Contrary to popular belief, monkeys lay eggs.
What? dude no, monkeys do not lay eggs! :S

Maybe you mean Sea monkeys, which also give birth, unless conditions are harsh, then they will lay eggs.

But normal monkeys (primates), don't lay eggs
