Yes, this was an actual fact, right smack in the middle of an article about hummingbird migration. Just so ya know.

Hummingbirds do not migrate on the backs of geese.:rolleyes:

It's possible to have 77 givens and still be unable to solve a Suduko puzzle. Apparently.

Thor's word of the day: Rhomicuboctahedron. Your challenge; How many sides?

77 was a famous Swedish border password in the war, because it was so hard for the enemy to pronounce correctly

I think you missed a 'b' in there, Monster.

I have one of these on my doodad shelf at work. They were all the rage in the 80's. It is an Rhombicuboctahedron, sort of.

One of HM's early works.

yes, I was a little behind there

ooh those were called snakes or something, Pete, they opened into a long thin thing... I'm sure I must have one somewhere

I actually went back and checked, and I'm not sure I have made one of those! I have done a rhombitruncated cuboctahedron, and it was one of my early ones.

I've got one of those.
Tan and brown.
I put my Rubik's Cube on top of it.

I'm not sure what they were called, 'cause I only ever saw them being sold by street vendors. The black and white one I've got came from a street vendor in NYC.

And Ceiling Cat is ever vigilant...

Surveys show that six out of seven dwarves are not Happy.

43% percent of statistics are bullshit.

The average human being has less than two legs.

Yay me! I'm finally above average!:cheerldr:

The official name for the dot over the letter i or the letter j is tittle.

~ <--See that thing? It's called a tilde.

I am disappoint. I thought for a moment that Rhianne had begun posting again. Nope, not a jot OR tittle.

You cannot see the Great Wall from space...I learned that last night. And it stemmed from me watching an episode of Doctor Who, so...thank you BBC!

Lemmy Kilmister...Lead singer, and bassist for the rollicking metal band Motorhead:



His first record was "Knee Deep in the Blues", by Tommy Steele:



You can really hear Mr. Steele's influence on Lemmy's vocal style.:lol2:

One mile more than the Blues Brothers' nighttime trip to Chicago in sunglasses.

There are 14 McDonald's within 5 miles of where I'm sitting right now. The nearest is 1.1 miles away.

I could walk to it, buy a double quarter pounder with cheese(780 calories), eat it and walk home. A 300 lb person burns 159 calories per mile at 3 mph. I would net 430 calories if I did.

Gotta love the Double QP.:yum:

The Double QP's around here are juuust a little greasier than the regular QP. Just the right amount of greasy, though.

I would have sworn that I learnt this here, but...

Most mammals take around 21 seconds to pee.

I long for the days it only took 21 seconds. :(

I once peed 130' into a tugboat.

Here's a really fun fact:

Attachment 58387

According to Wikipedia, the most rain measured in 60 seconds, 1.5 inches, fell on Barot, Guadeloupe, on Nov 26, 1970.

The most rain measured in 24 hours, 71.9 inches, fell on Cilaos, Réunion, on Jan 7 - 8, 1966.

The yearly rainfall record belongs to Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India. From 1860 - 1861, 1,042 inches of rain fell from the sky.

That's nothing. After a few years of that, Cherrapunji, Meghalaya, India will be under 1042 feet of ocean.

<Daniel Tosh>Babies aren't dishwasher-safe</Fake Snapple facts>

That's an actual fact.

Babbies aren't dishwasher safe.:headshake

I stuck a gopro in my dishwasher and have to agree. The most obvious problem is the hot water. Serious scalding issues that become burning and cooking issues over time. And then the volume of water spraying around would make breathing difficult. Plus, the watertight seal is also air tight and the oxygen would be used up.

Babies are NOT dishwasher safe.

I can also vouch for the fact that dishwashers are not baby-safe. They break easier than you'd think.

They do cook up nice though.

That was awesome.:D

The Purple Hooter Shooter starts out green.
