666 is NOT the number of the beast as many people beleive, it was an original misstranslation that people took hold of. Infact many people "corrected" old texted from the Bible that said the real number, which is 616.
This was proven when they found the oldest known bible text which gave the correct 616

Don't tell Bruce Dickinson.

The deHavilland Mosquito was one of the most successful combat aircraft built by Britain during World War 2, renowned for it's ability to adapt to many aircraft roles. What made it noticeable was the fact of rarer and rarer use of metal in the War, all Mosquitoes were built of wood instead of aluminum.

It's possible to never sleep for years and not die.

 

[The Iron Ninja]

i have a couple!

1. celery is the ONLY vegetable in the world that uses up more calories to eat than it gives you

So if a person ate nothing but celery, they'd eventually lose weight and/or die ?

Yeah thats right. Same sort of thing is true for Rabbits, you don't gain enough energy from eating Rabbits to make up for the energy lost in the actual digesting of the rabbit, there are people (in the olde days) that lived mostly on rabbit and if nothing else was around to eat, would eventually lose so much energy they would die.
Which makes me wonder why you would even eat Rabbit in the first place. Maybe it's really tasty or something (I've never tried it)

It's possible to never sleep for years and not die.

I'm pretty sure thats not true
