Theoretically, the chances of flipping a coin and getting heads is 1/3...

"# successful outcomes"
The formula for theoretical probability is ______________________

"# possible outcomes"

So according to Theoretical Probability, when flipping a coin there are 3 possible outcomes; heads, tails, landing perfectly on it's side!
I think it would still be theoretical probability if you calculated the weights and lengths of the coin in a way that told you which sides it would land on the most times.

Sharks have seven senses.
That isn't actually that many, we have loads, for example:
Touch,Pressure ,Pain (Damage), Temperature, Balance, Hearing, Vision, Taste, Smell, Sexual Pleasure, Hunger, Thirst etc..
Well, they have everything we have, plus they can detect motion and electricity.
Actually, Humans, dolphins and chimpanzees are the only creatures that have sex for pleasure. Infact, both chimpanzees and dolphins (Particularly bottle nose dolphins) are not all that fussed about having intercourse with other species, bottle nose dolphins are known to have sex with the following but not limited to: Turtles, porpuses, Manatees, dead sharks, whales and even dead baby dolphins (even ones they've killed) they're also known to seperate a female from it's pod, and deny it food or sleep until it has sex with them, 'cause the Human race is one of the few creature that actually give a damn about infanticide, necrophelia and rape. And Bottle nose dolphins are kind of the jerks of the sea.

It is impossible for a person to walk in a straight line while blindfolded, and scientists have no idea why
Try it. Try walk across an oval with you're eyes closed and you'll turn

Out of the millions of races of animal on our planet, only 1 known race has biological immortality. That is to say, it can keep on living forever as long as it isn't killed or doesn't run out of food.
What is it?

Yeah I know, I guess that's just proof that theoretical probability is only useful when it takes even more time than actually carrying out an experiment.

Cats are the only domesticated animals that don't consider their human owners to be their superiors. Cats consider humans to be their equals.

Unless you're 32, you haven't lived for a billion seconds. I actually did the math on that one, as it seemed preposterous. 32 isn't exact, but I didn't go so far into the math as to see EXACTLY when you'd hit a billion seconds.
please do :D that would be awesome, or maybe I could do it...

Nothing can really grow in honey, it's an antiseptic. They were treating wounds with it as recently as World War I. Another interesting thing about honey is it's the only food we as humans eat that was manufactured by animals. We eat lots of things that come from animals or are produced by animals, but honey is the only one that is actually manufactured, as in it's something the animal makes out of something else.

As far as I understand, you´d revert back as soon as you are sexually mature, not sexually active :p.

So You would keep reliving the first 10-14 years of your life....
