A spider can live for 2 years without food.

Humans shed skin faster than snakes.

I like this thread but I have nothing to contribute. :cry: But thanks to this thread I now need therapy to get over my fear of spy ducks.

Now how did they figure that out? Walk up to a polar bear and say, "Excuse me, Miss/Mr, but can you hold this pen for me?" and they always grab it with the left paw? :P

One ton of grapes makes about 60 cases of wine, or 720 bottles. One bottle of wine contains about 2.8 pounds of grapes.

There are no words in the English language that rhyme with month, orange, silver or purple.

Now you're just being silly! Everybody knows that polar bears only use keyboards!

The best way to check a polar bear's hand preference is to approach the animal quietly, poke it hard with a stick and then check to ascertain which side of your head is still attached to your shoulders.

How sad......who is the dangerous species, eh?

An adult human body is made of aproximately 7.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 (octillions) atoms.

You have no sense of smell when you sleep.

Hi Aggie, maybe that's not true (in my case at least), I awoke several years ago smelling smoke ,and got everyone out before the fire got a serious hold in a flat in London.

I learned about this in one of my medical training (I work in the health industry). This is a question I raised and apparently something else must have woken you up and that's when you smelt the fire....google it my friend cause I'm just relying on what a lecturer told me.

The national anthem of Australia is "Advance, Australia Fair", and the national flag of Australia features the Emu and the Kangaroo - not only because they are associated with Australia, but because they are among the few animals which cannot walk backwards.
