    I slept till 7:10pm today
    The world is round
    Bees die when they sting you (quickest form of karma I know)

    Hmmm.... some more interesting ones:

    # The original game of "Monopoly" was circular.

    # It costs more to buy a new car today in the United States than it cost Christopher Columbus to equip and undertake three voyages to and from the New World.

    # One-fourth of the world's population lives on less than $200 a year.

    # Ninety million people survive on less than $75 a year.

    # Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words.

    # A snail can sleep for 3 years.

    # Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

    # The continents names all end with the same letter with which they start.

    # A giraffe can go without water longer than a camel can.

    # Crocodiles and alligators are surprisingly fast on land. Although they are rapid, they are not agile; so if you ever find yourself chased by one, run in a zigzag line. You'll lose him or her every time.

    # Birds do not sleep in their nests. They may occasionally nap in them, but they actually sleep in other places.

    # Most elephants weigh less than the tongue of the blue whale.

    # Only female mosquitoes bite.

    # Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue twice as much as to any other color.

    # If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death.

    # Every night, wasps bite into the stem of a plant, lock their mandibles (jaws) into position, stretch out at right angles to the stem, and, with legs dangling, fall asleep.

    # Ants stretch when they wake up. They also appear to yawn in a very human manner before taking up the tasks of the day.

    # Bees have 5 eyes. There are 3 small eyes on the top of a bee's head and 2 larger ones in front.

    # The outdoor temperature can be estimated to within several degrees by timing the chirps of a cricket. It is done this way: count the number of chirps in a 15-second period, and add 37 to the total. The result will be very close to the actual Fahrenheit temperature. This formula, however, only works in warm weather. (Try it!)

    # Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with.

    # You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.

    # All of the clocks in Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20.

    # The word 'byte' is a contraction of 'by eight.'

    # The word 'pixel' is a contraction of either 'picture cell' or 'picture element'.

    # Isaac Asimov is the only author to have a book in every Dewey-decimal category.

    # Cat's urine glows under a black light.

    # Chrysler built B-29's engines that bombed Japan, Mitsubishi built Zeros that tried to shoot them down. Both companies now build cars in a joint plant call Diamond Star.

    # On the new hundred-dollar bill the time on the clock tower of Independence Hall is 4:10.

    # If you add up the numbers 1-100 consecutively (1+2+3+4+5 etc) the total is 5050

    # The dot over the letter 'i' is called a tittle.

    # Duddley DoRight's Horses name was "Horse."

    # Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain was born on a day in 1835 when Haley's Comet came into view. When He died in 1910, Haley's Comet came into view again.

    # Ethernet is a registered trademark of Xerox, Unix is a registered trademark of AT&T.

    # The first hard drive available for the Apple ][ had a capacity of 5megabytes.

    # Charlie Brown's father was a barber.

    # Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.

    # Only 1/3 of the people that can twitch their ears can twitch only one at a time.

    # The volume of the Earth's moon is the same as the volume of the Pacific Ocean.

    # Only humans and horses have hymens.

    # The word "set" has more definitions than any other word in the English language.

    # Pulp Fiction cost $8 million to make - $5 million going to actor's salaries.

    # The housefly hums in the middle octave, key of F.

    # The longest place-name still in use is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoron- ukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu, a New Zealand hill.

    # Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.

    # In most advertisements, including newspapers, the time displayed on a watch is 10:10.

    # The first word spoken by an ape in the movie Planet of the Apes was "Smile".

    # Geller and Huchra have made three-dimensional maps of the distribution of galaxies. In each layer of the map some galaxies are grouped together in such a way that they resemble a human being.

    It is more probable to die from getting hit with a champagne cork than by a bite from a poisonous spider. I have taken much comfort in that fact as everyone around here keeps talking about red tails, white tails, 'killer' 8 leggers.

    This isn't true. I saw an episode of Mythbusters where they trained some goldfish to go through a little maze to the food. They timed them and proved that the fish went through the maze much faster and more purposefully when they knew there was going to be food at the end.

    It was a good episode. :p

    When the photographer went around Syd Barret's house to take shots for the cover of "Madcap Laughs" in 1970, they found Syd delirious on the floor from a night of heavy acid abuse and the girl in the background walking around naked. They didn't have to produce the shot.
