-if u run in the rain, rather than walk, u'll get LESS wet

 

 

 

-if u run up the stairs, u'll get less tired than if u walked instead

 

 

 

-vikings used to chew on the "death cap" mushroom, before battle, to make them berserk, and to dullen their pain

Sharks can never stop moving, even when sleeping. I don't think they even really sleep, they just slow thier metabolism and heart rate right down. (I think).

Some birds tuck their leg up into the tummy when they are sleeping, creating the illusion that they actually have 1 leg

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My bird does that, it also hides it's head behind its back. I wish I had a flexible neck :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, There are more than 1 billion Indians :-k

You could be totally right i.e. I wouldn't be surprised. Makes me wonder why people are so worried about certain species becoming extinct, although there are human interventions that make this happen, it is almost natural in some cases.

Of Texas' 254 counties, 79 are still completely dry seven decades after the Repeal of Prohibition. Many of the remaining counties are "moist" or partially dry. Some permit one form of alcohol beverage but not another, some prohibit on-premise consumption (except for private clubs), some permit (believe it or not) on-premise but no off-premise consumption, and some have other strange variations, often directly across the street from each other

Sharks and other sealife swim when they sleep. It's because they constantly need to filter out the oxygen in the water through their gills and this can't be done while they're stationary. Which is how you can drown a fish - drag it backwards through the water. :cry: Aw, poor fishies.
