A honey bee has the largest penis in proportion to its own body. The largest penis in the animal world belongs to a whale (though I can't recall which it was). Its penis is something like 10 feet long, and if you've ever seen footage of it, it looks like two space stations docking. It's actually pretty cool, like watching a train derail and tear through infrastructure in slow motion.
Both a pistol shrimp and the mantis shrimp (which is not a shrimp at all) have strikes so fast and powerful, they creature a bioluminescent burst with a temperature hotter than any temperature on the sun. The strike has the power of a 22 caliber bullet, and the shockwave from the strike will kill any small animal, even if it misses. Mantis shrimp also have extremely complex, almost human like social structures and interactions. They also have the most complex eyes in the entire animal kingdom. They can be kept in aquariums, but they occaisional punch out the glass. Pistol shrimp are known to divers as, "thumb splitters" among other things.
The coconut crab is the largest land crustaceon in the world, with a 10... You know what, go check out the pictures and fact sheet on wikipedia. They are wild, to say the least.
The horseshoe crab is last surviving remnant of the extinct trilobite. It is not a crustaceon and is actually related to spiders. Its entire body is a living biome of life. It also has blue blood and makes the facehuggers from the Alien franchise look tame in design.
See kids, learning can be fun, once you get away from school, where learning is a tool to punish and destroy all interest in the world around you.

One year in the 90's, 7 people died of teapot related injuries.
A news broadcast in the 1930's was actually just 10 minutes of piano music. "Ladies and Gentlemen, there is no news tonight, so here is some music."
A chicken can live for 2 years without a head. (longest recorded, it may well be able to live for much longer, that one choked to death. Irony...)

If you leave a goldfish in a dark room for too long it turns white
Water does NOT in fact conduct electricity but all the salts from your body do

Its because your teeth are angled slightly backwards so you can force it a little wider open on the way in, but not on the way out, also there is a lot more friction on the way out than the way in because of the angle too!PartyMonkey said:
Sorry to rain on your parade but even distilled de-ionised water will conduct, its just a very poor conductor compared to 'normal' water. The conduction mechanism in pure water is actually pretty interesting; conventional current is the flow of electrons, water conducts via a flow of protons in the opposite direction because of the unique way it hydrogen bonds!GodsOneMistake said:
