Dr. Oppenheimer, lead scientist behind the Manhattan Project, was at the time of the project under investigation by the FBI, on suspicion of him being a communist.
Post some useless trivia.

Lets get lizardy -
The komodo dragon has naturally has extremely virulent bacteria in its saliva. It is still unknown why the animals are immune to them. And in case you figure being bitten by a 3m fangedy beast with a mouthful of e coli wasn't risky enough, it was recently discovered that they have venom glands in their mouth as well.
Iguanas have two penises (at least, the male ones do), and if exposed to nuclear radiation may rampage through Manhattan. Only Matthew Broderick can save us.
The tuatara is a creature native to New Zealand that looks very much like a lizard, but is in fact a member of a different animal family. They are pretty much living fossils, having a great deal in common with animals from over 200 million years ago. They have no penis, regardless of gender. Stop looking at me like that. I am not obsessed with lizard junk.
Germanium oxide is water soluble.
Germanium was used to make the first transistor.
The electron\hole mobilities are about three times higher in germanium than in silicon.
A computer composed of germanium transistors could operate much faster and cooler because of the higher electron/hole mobilities, low bandgap, and high dopant solubility. Germanium never caught on because: germanium is expensive and there are no point sources in the earth's crust, the oxide is soluble, poorly passivating, and thermally unstable.
Polonium is the only metal with simple cubic packing.

"The Irish Car Bomb" drink was first created in america.
The ingredients consist of a half shot Irish whiskey ,a half shot of Irish cream [usually baileys] and half pint of Irish stout
Kevin spacey is a fan of pro wrestling.
The Honey Badger is the most fearless animal on earth.
I can fit 12 dead babies in the back of my car.
Ignore that last one.

glass is a liquid. if you look closely at a window that's extremely old, you'll see that it's thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom. also, low grade glass is ever so slightly porous.
and, every window cleaner is a little bit eccentric, especially those that do high rises.

Good sir that is just not true glass is not a liquid back when the old glass was made they couldn't make it evenly and so they put the thicker side down so it doesn't just fall out.cfb_rolley said:
