Fact of the past six monhts: under Boston's Longfellow bridge, there's a mysterious trophy case. Nobody knows who put the trophies there and they're free for the taking, but nobody does.

Pics?

7 out of every 10 Scots have blue eyes.

The song “When Irish Eyes are Smiling,” synonymous with Ireland and all things Irish, was written by two Americans, George Graff and Chauncey Olcott, in 1912. There are no records to show that they ever even visited Ireland.

The more I see Aussies talk about New Zealand, the more it seems that NZ is to Australia, what Wales is to England...well...as far as sheep go in the very least...

I've heard New Zealanders claim the same about Aussies, so...

Warp Drive technology isn't entirely science fiction.
There has been a hypothesis on how one may be implemented, the Alcubierre Drive, but there is understandably much scepticism surrounding it, both in the amount of energy needed and whether such space-time manipulation would be stable/safe.(There's probably other issues too that I'm too thick to get)

Beavers' front teeth are an orange colour because they contain a large amount of iron in them.
Also, the liquid secreted by a beaver's hind scent glands, castoreum, can smell and taste like vanilla...goodness knows how that was discovered. Crazy...

What colour is Indigo?
A purple colour, right?

Well, really, it depends where you live.
In some parts of Asia, for example, Indigo is a light blue/grey colour.

Which is interesting, when you consider that New Zealanders smell a thousand times worse than a human.

Did you know, that if you laid the entire population of New Zealand end to end around the Equator, most of them would drown?

Why can't they just grow gills like the rest of us?

Only salt water fish need to drink water, as the salt water draws water out of their bodies.

Fresh water fish naturally draw water into their bodies because of their bodies' high salt concentration compared to the surrounding water.

Still on a fishy subject , being Friday and all that ........Most fish have little salt in them. Sharks, however, have meat as salty as the ocean they live in .
