I thought coccaine caused nose bleeds....whatever also pot/heroine was originally used on mental patients in like the 1600-1700s or something like that to keep them under control.

Sharks for all we fear them hate the taste of human. They will spit it out if they take a chunk from us. Sadly they take large chunks and most likly orgins that we need to you know survive.
Also I'm not sure if it has to be thousands of individual strands wound together or just one strand from a giant spider... Which makes you think.. How long till we have giant spiders making webs between the clouds and eating passenger jets? The twenty first century is a horrible place indeed.thisnameistaken2 said:

Well, I've noticed that they're completely controlled by tendons, from my study of my arm, the control muscles are in your hand or arm. So, tell those crazy Japanese robot makers to keep the fingers free of annoying loud motors.pimppeter2 said:
It's true, but you have to eat a lot of poppy seed rolls for it to register on a drug test. It will happen though.chrisdibs said:
I think that was actually the plot of an episode of Seinfeld, but that's not where I heard it from.
I was shocked to find out that bone marrow absorbs radiation from the sun.
That's why we get cancer, is because our bones absorb the harmful radiation.
Ever since then, I've tried to keep my body covered, even in the summer.

Yeah, spider silk is amazingly strong. Seriously, next time you get caught in a web, notice whether you're tearing the threads, or just pulling them away.thisnameistaken2 said:

I was surprised to learn so many Escapists have such lovely voices and accents 
Also, the 'eating 200 spiders in your sleep in a lifetime' thing is nowhere near accurate, I read somewhere it's about 8 in your lifetime. Ane even then that's only an average and it'll probably be zero for people who sleep with their mouths closed (see, snoring can be useful ).

The actual number is about 4. I don't know how many sites it had to go through to reach the unreasonably high total of 200, but it's just proof of how addictive embelishment is. 4, the average person swallows 4. That's the average person, as in 'taken from an average'. That includes people who live in trailers, work with spiders or just don't give a shit. Likely, you'll never swallow a spider in your life.NoMoreSanity said:Bored Tomatoe said:

Booboy: that urine is harmless and can be/was used/is used as both a mouthwash and anti-septic for cleaning wounds. I mean, most of my teachers are complete idiots and they seem to think that urine contains live bacteria and is extremely toxic, but it is just water with some proteins in it..
urine doesnt contain protein, if it does you have kidney damage and will die of an infection very soon.

Face a wall and put put both your arms so only the finger tips are touching the wall. now rotate one arm full-cicrle backwards, and now that arm cant reach the wall but the other still can.. odd
Goldfish have the ability for memories much longer than 3 seconds.
You do not lose 90% of your body heat through your head, it is roughly the same for any part of the exposed body.
The fact that surprised me the most was because it was so glaringly obvious. From QI (Quite Interesting), the fact that you have something like 26 senses, yet we still call anything supernatural a sixth sense and only list touch, taste, smell, hearing and sight as our 5 senses. We also have things like balance, thermoreceptors, pressure etc.

Thank you for bringing some sanity to the conversation.Ultrajoe said:The actual number is about 4.
