You are encouraged to come up with the most bizarre facts possible!

The angler fish is a lonely creature of the deep sea. When a male happens to find a female he bites into her flesh with his wicked long teeth. The damage causes scarring and the formation of new blood vessles. The male soon becomes part of the females circulatory system and gets his nutrients from her. Basically their flesh merges and often his entire body is encased in an envelope of fleh. Its not paracytic though because as soon as she drops her eggs, he is there to fertilize them.

In this picture a male has recently attached to the female. Males are much smaller than females in this species to facilitate this lifestyle...JELOUS?

Baskin Robbins once made ketchup ice cream. This was the only vegetable flavored ice cream produced.

Dude, I’m SO jealous!!!  But if my girl looked like that I think I’d be taking her to the orthodontist.  Got to go, I need to feed my UGLY kitten and then eat my delicious bowl of ketchup ice cream, yummy!

God bless!

Ethyl S-2-diisopropylaminoethylmethyl phosphonothiolate is a weapon-ized nerve gas more commonly known as VX Gas from the movie “The Rock” starring Sean Connery and Nicolas Cage. It is 10 times more deadly than Sarin Gas.

I just thought I’d let you know the chemical name because I have no idea at all how to say it. Now, I would put the highly complex diagram of this gas component, but sadly, I cannot due to my lack of HTML skill.

RANDOM FACT:
To drop iomages into your posts in the forum hit the reply button. While your cursor is in the response field click the <img> button. two of these img things will show up side by side.
Meanwhile...find a suitable image from the internet (can be from your own online collection of images or from google) right click on this image or control click in a Mac and select “view Image” when you have the image alone highlight the URL or the internet address at the top of the screen and copy it. (also a right click function).

Paste this URL inbetween the <img>’s and that is what needs to occur for you to have an image in here!

Oh then click submit or whatever.

Another random fact: American Human Adults admit to picking their noses at the astounding number of 40%… though it could be more because it could be pretty hard for some of us to admit. Technically its referred to as rhinotillexomania (rhino=nose, tillexis=habit of picking at something mania=obsession with something)

This is a site dedicated to showing off all the wired facts associated with it (dont worry there are no pictures.)

Still its not a bad habit to get eye gunk out of your eyes. Which is actually very similar hygenically.

The best place to hide in an earthquake is NOT under an object as is commonly beleived and definatly not under a door! Rather it is beside the object. imagine everything falling flat and beside the thickest strongest objects there is a triangular gap. it is in these gaps that survivors are found. If there is an earthquake at night roll off of your bed and lay beside it. At work curl up beside your desk (not under it) in a glass museum, uh… huddle beside a wooden display stand or something.; In anuy case the fetal position is the best and always cover your head with your hands.

My birth certificate was 6 years delayed. So my brother (4 year younger than me) got his birth certificate before I did.

Fasting and praying does not change your metabolism like starving does.
