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.

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.

A sound of something so big falling into the water was detected, but no one ever saw what exactly happened. The incident was named: Bloop.

But penguins really cant; when the first aircraft passed over the antarctic, a passing flock of penguins all fell over trying to see where the noise in the sky came from...
Wow that sounds really funny and adorable. Thank you for that.

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.

Actually that's just urban legend: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=fact-fiction-glass-liquid&ref=digg.com

..."A mathematical model shows it would take longer than the universe has existed for room temperature cathedral glass to rearrange itself to appear melted."

Let's throw in a video game fact:

In the first five Touhou games, because of the limited processing power of the PC-98, every character's hair was the same colour as their eyes. Only four characters were carried over to the Windows games, and of them, only Marisa kept this trait.

One of the 4 horsemen is actually a good one. Only 3 are destructive. The first is victory for the righteous, roughly, then it goes War, Famine, Death and Plague is not one of them.
The first horseman being good is widely debated, the flip side to this argument is that the first horseman ( Conquest ) can be the symbol for the anti-christ. It's thought that he represents the anti-christ because Conquest only had one crown of thorns while Jesus had many crowns of thorns. Also it's thought that the anti-christ will come preaching good to gain the masses trust before doing something evil, hence the white robes that Conquest wears to appear to be good. In relation to the horseman there are 3 of the 7 seals still unbroken each containing a different horseman.
