That doesn't change the fact that the 3-second memory is just a silly misinformation. Every time someone posts it, a kitten dies.

I'd be more impressed if you can tell me what that is in Farenheit and what the scientific term for it is called.
Absolute Zero (0 Degrees Kelvin)

Called as much because at that temperature, molecular movement and energy is stopped.

It's very possible that Lady Gaga spread those hermaphrodite rumors herself to further spread her mystique. If not, she's automatically the greatest hermaphrodite who ever lived (not that it's that big a deal just yet).

Useless facts:
Male Horses are born without nipples.
Female hyenas are born with psudo-penises that are actually longer than the true penises of the males. (After that Lady Gaga 'factoid', that's about all that I could think of!)
Uwe Boll is a trained boxer but an untrained film maker.

Pandas are evolutionary failures.
We learnt about this in school - is it to do with crushing each other when mating or something?

You can in fact, like and create Furry art and not be perverted about it.

I am living proof of this.

Well.. technically it is closer to -273.15, to the best of our knowledge

mcgroobber said:
a mol of any gas (6.02 x 10(to the 23) particles)

is 22.4 liters in volume
this is incorrect. If you take real chemistry courses you learn that this only exists for ideal gases and at a pressure of 1 atm, which only exist at low pressures and high temperatures. But at such a low pressure, the volume would be much higher since pressure and volume are directly related when temperature and moles are kept constant.

I am going to doubt it.
Believe what you want, but I stand by my morals.

Nothing about anthropomorphic animals "doing it" is attractive to me.

I do however, appreciate the unique style the Furry art as a whole contains.

'The bends' is an often used synonym for Caisson Disease.

Ducks had some sort of sexual arms race, the males developing more and more aggressive looking penises, females developing more maze-like vagina's to avoid rape. Male ducks are kinda fond of rape.

The inhabitants of Easter Island destroyed themselves by cutting down every single tree on the island.

World's smallest deer is smaller than your average dog.

The Romans had a ritual in which they stood in a pit, covered by wooden boards with lots of little holes. A large bull would be placed on the boards and his heart would be pierced, resulting in a rain of blood for the person in the pit. I can write down a lot of other random crap about the Romans, but I won't.

And...well, I can't really think up more. I have a ton of random knowledge in my head, thing is it takes a trigger before I remember it again, like the example below. It's like when I hear a song and I can hum it along perfectly, I can't remember hearing it before, but I did since I remember the tune.

At one time, Indian doctors used insect mandibles instead of stitches to bind the two sides of a cut together. The head of a large ant would be removed, and its pincers would be brought together through the patient?s flesh.
Tribes in the rainforest still do that today, I think.

OT: The male seahorse actually is the one to give birth to babies.
Sort-off. The female still produces the eggs, but the males have a special pouch in which the female deposits her eggs. You could say that the males give birth, but technically they just breed them out.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is a word in the English language coined by students in Eton College that made it into some dictionaries somehow.

It is the act of describing something as worthless.
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/floccinaucinihilipilification?view=uk

I may be wrong but I think it started as a joke among the students in Eton, it being a combination of latin words.
Flocci, from floccus, being a wisp or piece of wool;
Nauci a from naucum, a trifle;
Nihili, from nihilum, meaning litterally nothing;
Pili, from pilus, meaning something small or insignificant;
And -fication as the prefix.


Now I have contributed my useless trivia.
