random facts u know...

[amazizing333]

heres some more from me:

 

 

 

-a bull is colorblind, so it'll charge at any color cape

 

 

 

-It is estimated that millions of trees in the world are accidentally planted by squirrels who bury nuts and then forget where they hid them ( cuz probably a squirrel's brain is the size of a nut... )

 

 

 

-slugs have 4 noses... :shock:

[Parabola]

As I said before - the fastest they can move is 15 feet per minute (0.17 miles per hour). That precludes both swinging and 'leaping'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you substantiate any of your claims? Why are you so intent on believing this internet 'fact' that is not only contrary to common sense but something you evidently know nothing about?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some other mammals that obviously can't jump:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manatees

 

 

 

Blue whale

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ever seen a manatee jump or 'leap'?

In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research editors of the British medical journal Lancet concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health."

You'll ahve to define "drug" to make that statement, I would say there are many out there that are much less harmful...and the smoke from anything definately harms the body.

If you read the entire article, it does say that the smoke harms you, but a casual marijuana smoker takes in an enormously less amount of smoke than other smokable product users. Also, by drug, I was talking about any tobacco product or illegal substance that is inhaled/eaten/injected/absorbed/snorted.

I dont know where you got that fact, but here's an opposing side

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Regardless of the THC content, the amount of tar inhaled by marijuana smokers and the level of carbon monoxide absorbed are three to five times greater than among tobacco smokers.

I wont argue anymore, dont wanna get too off topic, I personally say make a topic on it ;)

You share your birthday with about 9 million other people in the world.

[indy500fan]

You share your birthday with about 900 million other people in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That can't be true. Maybe 90 million, not 900 million.

Day of the week?

I was all set to post my refutation but then I realised.

So are you saying that there are 298 days of the year on which no one is born? For what you said to be true there would be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Population of the world = ~6,000,000,000

 

 

 

If everyone shares their birthday with 90,000,000 people...

 

 

 

6,000,000,000 / 90,000,000 = 66.6'

 

 

 

There are only 67 possible birthdays in a year

 

 

 

67 days of the year on which someone can be born for your 'fact' to be true

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ignoring trends in seasonal births (which could not account for your 90,000,000 sharing), you share your birthday with approximately 16,427,104 people (6,000,000,000 / 365.25).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It would have made sense (in a pedantic way) had you left it at 900,000,000 since ~900,000,000 in the world have their birthdays on a Monday, for example.

Ok, plug 9 million into the equation. Sorry, it's been a while since I've heard it.
