    If that's rape, I shudder to think of what the sharks' would be classified as.

    Another random thing I learned at school today is that you can see your nose at all times, but your brain just tends to ignore it.

    The myth busters disproved that one, a ducks quack can indeed make an echo. Also more people are killed by falling coconuts annually than by sharks. About 15 times as many actually.

    huh? I think I'm missing something Rex, or are you teasing some how?

    In japanese there are some silly cases of words sounding similar but having very different meanings (as there are with all languages I'm sure, but I know a few of these that are pretty funny). ojisan = uncle oojisan = grandpa obasan = aunt abaasan = grandma shujin = husband shuujin = prisinor kawaii = cute kowaii = scary

    wow.. I actually didn't notice that, even after re-reading it a few times before you mentioned. Nice!

    One way to tell drawing of Asian dragons from different countries apart is the number of claws.

    1) Most American car horns honk in the key of F.

    2) The name Wendy was made up for the book "Peter Pan."

    3) Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.

    4) Every time you lick a stamp, you consume 1/10 of a calorie.

    5) The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.

    6) Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the twentieth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself.

    7) Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every 2 weeks otherwise it will digest itself.

    8) The citrus soda 7-UP was created in 1929; '7' was selected after the original 7-ounce containers and 'UP' for the direction of the bubbles.

    9) 101 Dalmatians, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, and Mulan are the only Disney cartoons where both parents are present and don't die throughout the movie. .

    10) A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes.
