Everyone remembers how when they were little they had these books in the library that were about all sorts of crazy but true facts. I remember reading a charlie brown one tongue.gif Anyways the thing is as we grow up every starts to catch on and I pretty much know every crazy fact there is about animals. I mean I read fucking 30 books on animals in a month. So I want to learn some new shit; not just about animals but anything. So if you think you know something not a lot of people do, let me hear it. tongue.gif

I'll start:
The biggest penis-to-body ratio belongs to the barnacle.

    Did you know that the Turritopsis jellyfish can return to it's polyp stage, the grow into a jellyfish again, then return to it's polyp stage, then grow into a jellyfish again.

    This is the only animal in the world that can revert to a younger state of it's lifecycle. Consequently, the animal is immortal.

    That is incorrect. It's actually the attention span of a goldfish, since they seem to get bored pretty quickly with stuff that doesnt fit in their mouth.
    Several experiments have been done and some results show that some have remembered food stimuli for over a year.





    Did you know thrash metal songs typically use fast, percussive and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead work.

    The goldfish thing is just a myth. Their memory is much longer than that in reality.

    Edit: Heh, beaten to it. tongue.gif

    actually I have to average 4k calorie intake to keep weight due to my active lifestyle. Usually in 6 smaller meals, but it's been about 10 hours so I felt the need to gorge tongue.gif Hell I didn't even have to loosen my belt.
