Weirdest Fact You Know

[Korolev]

The majority of symptoms caused by disease and the vast majority of the damage caused to your body as a result of disease, is in reality, caused by your own body's immune system when fighting off infection.

Oh and the fact that Archduke Ferdinand survived the first assassination attempt on his life, but was later killed after accidently riding by a sandwich shop, on his way to the palace, that the leader of the failed assassins had gone to get lunch. He spotted the Archduke and shot and killed him. How's that for a laugh? For want of a sandwich, WW1 was started, which led to WW2, which led to the cold war which led to the present day political climate as we know it. All because a failed assassin wanted to get a sandwich and the archduke rode by at that exact moment.

A pigs penis is curly.......?

This.

And, apparently, due to some strange mutation brought about by farming the hell out of pigs, some of the pig-bits are twisting in the opposite direction than the desirable clockwise (a kind of 'anti-clockwise', if you will) and has made it impossible for said pigs to mate. This will, apparently, bring the eventual extinction of pigs.

I've no idea if this is true, but it made me both horrified and highly amused when I read it.

However, WWII is not over.

where the heck have you been the last 64 years? dark side of the moon ,in a cave,with your fingers in your ears, ignoring evreything that happend?

Technically, WWII is not over. We only agreed to a cease-fire. And we still have troops stationed in Japan and Germany.

Actually you are mistaken - Japan fully surrendered his military forces. The US has troops stationed there on the invitation of the Japanese government. Germany, after May 1945, unconditionally surrendered to both the Americans and the Russians and the French and the English. The US has troops stationed there due to fears in the 50's that the Russians would take over all of Germany.

But in both cases, clear as day, both sides unconditionally surrendered (although Japan was not forced to surrender the Emperor). True, an armistice was first declared between Germany and the US, but after the instrument of surrender was signed, the governments of Germany and Japan came under direct rule by the winning side, for a number of years. Both in name and in practice, both German and Japan surrendered. This is why the Nazi party no longer exists (and is illegal in Germany), and why Germany and Japan are currently helping the US in its military endevours (Germany's got troops in Afghanistan and the Japanese Self Defense Force helps refuel US ships near Iraq).

when a sperm whale ejaculates only around 30% enters the female (and you wonder why the sea tastes so salty.) That and the word Gymnasium comes from the latin word Gymni meaning "Naked"

2007 was the Chinese year of the horse, which coincided nicely with the outbreak of equine influenza (horse flu)

2008 was the Chinese year of the bird, paving the way for Aviation flu (bird flu)

This year is the Chinese year of the pig. (I believe swine flu is something of a worldwide issue at the moment)

If anyone else has noticed a pattern here then it may concern you to learn that next year is the Chinese year of the Cock!!!...!!!

Tyrannosaurus Rex may have had venom glands.
And as for this fact:
"Male praying mantises can keep having sex for up to a day even if their head is cut off."
In reply: a male mantis can join with a female, but the act of reproduction itself cannot begin until his head is severed. Yes, all male mantises have a fatal case of ED. Literally. And mantis sex ends when the female is done eating. Poor guy...

I know. But since I heard that one a few months back, I've convinced almost every person I've told that it's true. Shh!! Not a word.
