Weird fact of the day..
 

It is physically impossible for pigs to look up in the sky

Guess its a good thing for pigs that pterodactyls are now extinct :rolleyes:

What if the pig was standing on the side of a steep hill.


On a treadmill.

Or in a tree

LasVegas is farther west than LosAngles

I'm tired.

Oh, sorry wrong thread. There's nothing weird about that. :/

I don't believe that. :headshake
Pigs have binocular vision for about 50 degrees straight forward, and can certainly raise their heads high enough, especially when sitting.

You made me look stuff up.


Now I get to say you were wrong. Nyeahhhh! :p:

It's Reno.

tis true ... basically their necks are too stout to be able to tilt their heads far enough back to look up :)

If I stand close to the pen, they'll come right up to the fence and look up at me. I doubt they can see the sky directly overhead, even sitting, but they can see the sky.

I see what you did there.








Obviously if pigs had wings they could generate lift anywhere but a vacuum or on a treadmill.

Big Al says that dogs can't look up.

But thanks for the gift of a multi-pig photo.
Gosh I love pigs. Everything including the squeal.
Saw one butchered on TV. Complaints followed of course. I was fascinated. If I'm gonna eat it, I deserve to know how it died.

Rarely eat meat now, but not because of that.
(hoi-sin chicken tonight)

well I'll be gobsmacked.... who'd have thunk that something I read on the internet would be wrong?????

I must admit that being let down by the association of New Zealand pig farmers kinda chuffs my buttons.

*pout*

Big Al says that dogs can't look up. *snort* I've been laughing at that for about three minutes solid.

Dogs only look up for bacon... BACON, bacon, bacon, bacon, BACON, bacon...;)

What, Kevin?

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

Dogs definitely can look up. Our dog sheba was petrified of sky writers. She'd turn into a sooky lala when one was in the sky. Took us a little while to figure out what the problem was, being that it was so weird, but it was quite clear it was that in the end.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Snicker

Ok... fer sure fer sure this one is good...

turtles can breathe out of their assholes.

Confirmed!

There's this tree, see? And there's this hunter chasing...

Pi is an irrational number. But 355/113 is close enough for jazz.

Foot, that bacon post is worth your admission to the Cellar for a whole year.
Get UT to write you a voucher.

The Fifth Doctor from Doctor Who is played by Peter Davison. He had a daughter Georgia Moffet. Georgia played the fictional daughter of Doctor Who in an episode entitled The Doctor's Daughter. In that episode The Doctor is on his tenth incarnation played by David Tennant. While shooting that episode the two started to date and later had a daughter together who they named Olive.

So The Doctor's daughter from the Doctor Who episode The Doctor's Daughter is played by The Doctor's daughter who later goes on to marry The Doctor and give birth to The Doctor's daughter.

This is going to be in the test.

How else could Wilbur have seen Charlotte way up there in the rafters?

one step further and I'll have that voucher revoked.

I can only exhale through mine.

you can talk through it too...










:p

Pepsi Cola is an anagram for Episcopal - which some people think is meaningful somehow.

But Britney Spears is an anagram for Presbyterian, so maybe not.

This is a sentence: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

No, just bark.

Y'all know that Abraham Lincoln was killed by John Wilkes Booth, right?

On the same day, four hours earlier, Lincoln's son lost his balance on a railway platform in New York, and was falling onto the tracks in front of a train, when a kindly bystander grabbed his collar and hauled him back, saving his life. Said bystander was John Wilkes Booth's brother.

Like, whoah, duuude.

A few months later, according to this random article.

Did you also know that there's no word for Gullible in Pig Latin?


And, speaking of coincidences (or not) I need to post this video again. Because it is germane and awesome.

That no body seem to care that there is a thread called bomb making 101 with folks talking about the bombs they have made in the past

I think interest would ramp up if we talked about bombs we were making now.

;)

Oh, UT will post of a pic of his smashed-up face (by the Feds) soon enough...

The Pig Latin word for gullible is---hey, wait a minute...

Weird fact of the day...
 

In the United States, the mortality rate for circumcision is 1 in 500,000.

Just to be clear: For every 500,000 baby boys/guys getting circumcisions in the U.S., one of 'em dies.

Question:

How the hell do you kill someone during a circumcision?

Inopportune sneeze? Terrorist attack? Sinkhole? Landshark? Big gay drop bear?

WTF?

I'd guess infection.

I think the number of accidental de-penisings is a bit higher.

Infection - most notably that F-wit Rabbi in new York who would "apply oral suction" to the wound, despite having herpes virus weeping cold sores active on his mouth at the time.

Ain't religion grand?

I thought that was a mohel, rather than a Rabbi. Or is he both?

I'm not sure. He could be both.

There's no central authority who declares people to be rabbis, and while most people who use this title do so with the agreement of the wider community, nutty individuals can just start calling themselves Rabbi.

Which was funny during prohibition because rabbis were among the religious leaders who could certify that wine was being used for genuinely religious purposes (thus making it legal), which lead to many rabbis with names like Rabbi O'Brien or Rabbi McDonald.

a four star general added me as a friend on Facebook {is it real? I dunno} >shrug<

You might have been recommended to him. :cool:

You think he is into mud, cow shit, placenta , and blood covered females? :eyebrow:

Weird fact waking every 3 hours turns your brain to mush. One more cow to calve and I can sleep maybe a week til the next batch....
