The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper.
And written in fermented pokeberry juice.

Cannabis is the number 1 cash crop of Kentucky and Pickens County, Georgia (no proof for the latter but I would be surprised if it wasn't).
That depends on what you're talking about. The rough drafts of the Declaration of Independence were written on hemp paper since it was one of the standard papers at the time, but the official Declaration which was signed in Philadelphia is inscribed on parchment.

A snail has its naughty bits in the side of its head.
Ohh, so that's what those two pointy things are.
Sorry, I'm calling foul.
Snails are hermaphrodites that reproduce by touching each others foot. Their reproductive organs are internal, and just within the foot, not on their heads.
Just kill everyone's fun why don't you.

Anyway, continuing the topic of animal sexualtiy, I'm pretty sure I've read that Seahorses have a penis up each nostril.

That sounds like a very practical feature.

What happens if they need to sneeze?

Staedtler pencils are black and red because they were big sponsors on the National Socialist (Nazi) Party in Germany in the 1930s (the Nazi's colours being red and black).

Personally, I think foot sex would be a lot more interesting than snails all being dickheads.
Good call. Foot sex would be... interesting.

The Andromeda Galaxy is over 2,000,000 light-years aways, and in a bunch of billions of years, it will intercept and collide with the Milky Way, either merging into a larger galaxy or just pass though.

The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan. There was never a recorded Wendy before it.
for women yes, it does appear before that as a male's name

this is more or less a question, why does the metric system mainly use meters, and not decimeters? The american system (I don't know what its called) mainly uses feet and not yards
Because a meter is small enough that it is easy to judge something in metres
decimeter is 1/10 of a meter or 10 centimeters, the common measurement for metric are cm, m and km or 10^-2, 1, 10^3 respectively
