In France it is illegal to park your flying saucer in a field.

Why they needed this law I don't know, but you aliens (if you're reading this, and I suspect you are...) should watch out so you don't get a ticket. Or towed.
The only person this would apply to (that I know of) is tellmeimaninja.

Left-handed people are better at sports that require good spatial judgment and fast reaction, compared to right-handed individuals.

Then why is almost every legendary soccer player right footed?

There are more cells in your body that aren't yours than the ones that are.
Since they're in your body (i.e. part of you), doesn't that make them yours? If not, then whose are they?
I suppose technically they could be considered yours, but I meant the bacteria and such, like Ecoli in your digestive track.
Ah, thank you for actually having the courtesy to respond to a question.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.:)

Supposedly, the number 666, usually referred to as the number of the beast in the Book of Revelation, is actually a numerical code for Roman Emperor Nero's name.

I read somewhere that the pigeon, also known as the rock dove, is the only bird that could survive on the space station as it is the only bird with muscles in its throat that would allow it to swallow water.

Ringworms are actually fungal infections.

Did you know.....

A platypus has venomous spines on its body.

If you cut the head off a giraffe, due to the amount of blood pressure, the resulting spurt of blood would shoot 3m in the air (makes you think who had the time to find that out.. :s)

Before George Washington had a set of wooden teeth he had a pair made of hippo's teeth.

And Mel Blanc the voice of Bugs Bunny was allergic to carrots.

So yeah...anyone else got any weird facts?

Some fun facts:
1. Many insects can carry 50 times their own body weight. This would be like an adult person lifting two heavy cars full of people.
But to double the strength you'd actually need to quadruple their size (I don't remember why, but there is evidence somewhere), meaning that if an insect was made four times as large it would only be twice as strong. This ends up meaning that an insect couldn't even lift it's own weight if it was the size of a human.

-Dolphins are the only other mammal besides humans that kill and have sex for sport. They will sometimes give blowjobs with their blowholes.
I know that they are the only animals that have sex for fun, but come on, that is just sick.

wrong...fag, a cockroach would be one of the ONLY things to survive a nuclear blast ¬_¬
1. we generally frown on personal attacks in this forum, just so you know.

2. mythbusters tested several types of bugs in increasing levels of radiation, and while cockroaches could withstand several times the lethal dose of radiation for humans, they were actually less resilient than the other kinds tested. I believe 1st place went to brown flour beetles, but I'm not sure.

The blowhole thing? Ya it just seems like an odd concept, and a question I have, is it mutual, or is the pitcher the only one enjoying himself?
