Alright everyone...time to show just how smart you are! Well...maybe not smart...hmm. Time to show how well you could do on a game show! I'll begin. In honor of this week's Escapist, did you know that the exact sentence "Beam me up, Scotty." was never uttered in the original Star Trek series? Alright peeps...your turn!

Those cops are gonna come beat you up for breaking the douche bag law. (I assume you were watching that Robot Chicken sketch when you made this)

The velocity (or speed) of a radio wave radiated into free space by a transmitting antenna is equal to the speed of light - 186,000 miles per second. Since light is faster than sound, that means a person listeing to a concert on the radio will hear the sound before a person actually there.

Did you know that Clint Eastwood never uttered the line "Do you feel lucky punk?" he in fact said "The question you have to ask yourself us: Do I feel lucky, punk?"

Also, humans and dolphins are the only animals to have sex for pleasure. I find this fun because i wonder how scientists figured this out. Did they suddenly see a dolphin pull out some Durex?

they also rape and kill for pleasure, just like us! (well, not all of us.)

I didn't know that thing about the snails. Thats actually really gross.

Heres mine. The most dangerous animal in the world is the common housefly. Because of their habits of visiting animal waste, they transmit more diseases than any other animal.

The most dangerous Mammal in North America is the Common Deer... Kills a lot of people each year due to car crashes...

Yes indeed. The raptors in Jurassic Park were modeled after Deinonychus, which for quite a while was considered one of the Velociraptor sub-types or some such silliness.
