GenerationNine Posted June 4, 2009 #101 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, something about chromatophores and stress levels. But for some reason I was so sure it was also for camouflage. But you're right. Damned cartoons ruin me. No, ma'am, I believe that you are wrong. Try picking up a book sometime. what are you talking about? chameleons changed color to match their moods [among other things, which you clearly agreed with in the first one. so why wouldnt you agree with the seond one? especially since you thought they changed color fo camoflauge, i suggest YOU pick up a book sometime.

GreytMuse Posted June 14, 2009 #112 Share Posted June 14, 2009 (edited) The United States dropped three times as many tons of explosives in Vietnam as it dropped in all theaters of World War II, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Woodrow Wilson, known as a progressive leader, was in fact a white supremacist who personally vetoed a clause on racial equality in the Covenant of the League of Nations. Helen Keller joined the Socialist Party in 1912, donated to the NAACP and helped found the ACLU. All from Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong.

Gramiangel420 Posted June 16, 2009 #122 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Ive never seen a red indian, are they like the blue Fugates? Very funny, but in Britain American Indians are called red indians, I guess so you can tell them from the East Indians, which they just call Indians. Weird, huh? Another strange fact I guess.
