DreamingNagual Posted February 5, 2003 I just recieved this via Email,I answered yes to the last question did you? Please read on!! Butterflies taste with their feet. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. In 10 minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all of the world's nuclear weapons combined. On average, 100 people choke to death on ball-point pens every year. On average people fear spiders more than they do death. Ninety percent of New York City cabbies are recently arrived immigrants. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married. Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older. It's possible to lead a cow upstairs ... but not downstairs. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow. The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building. A snail can sleep for three years.. No word in the English language rhymes with "MONTH." Average life span of a major league baseball: 7 pitches. Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. SCARY!!! The electric chair was invented by a dentist. All polar bears are left-handed. In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. "Go," is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

Torsten Posted February 6, 2003 Ditto on the elbow. hey Auxin, if my tongue would be 2 inches longer I would definitely be home alone Re cows... animal mobility has been used for hunting various critters with limitations. Ducks cannot walk backwards. Thus, if you dig a ramp into the ground (just wide enough to fit a duck and almost a foot deep) and put some feed at the lowest point, a duck will eventually wander in and will not be able to get out. There are large scale versions of this concept in migration zones in the northern hemisphere that used to catch millions of ducks every year. Waterdragon - the cow concept is well know by most people handling cows. Ever tried to get one of those stupid things to walk down a ramp out of a truck. even a few degrees of gradient and they become extremely stubborn. if the ramp is tilted upwards they often volunteer to go wherever the ramp goes (usually "live export" ships).
