that there are only two known mammalian species in the world that have exactly four teats? The Patagonian Zebuton, a small herbavore, and the New Zeelander Pupututu, an seed-eater. All other mammals have either 2 teats, like humans, or 6 like dogs and cats.

... that Christopher Columbus not only happened upon the islands of the Carribbean, but he invented also the buttonhole? Before him every piece of clothing was held together by strings threaded through the material. Columbus got the idea from a tribe on Jambaralda Islands, who carried portable sundials and round calendars made of gold on one side and of platinum on the smaller side, pushed through a hole cut in the leather choker, worn around their necks, which was incidentally their only piece of clothing.

... that the term "moron" is from the Bible? In revelations, a Morean is a person from a tribe who worship an upside-down god, which got stinky feet and tries to lead a school of cats to Booleam, the Gaellean Bandor, who had ascended to the throne of Shaveratznah, seventeen days before the second coming of the Messiah.

the film 'Zyzzyx Rd' is the lowest grossing theatrical release. It opened at one theater, and made $30. did you know? ........The film had its festival premiere at the Van Wert Independent Film Festival in Van Wert, Ohio on July 8, 2011, where director Glenn Berggoetz spoke at a breakfast symposium and hosted a midnight screening of the film. The film had its theatrical premiere on August 19, 2011, in a single cinema,[8] the Laemmle Sunset 5 in Los Angeles, resulting in the theater's worst box office results ever: just one paid admission and grossing just $11.[1] After its release, the film gained notoriety for its extremely low viewership.[9] This figure makes it the lowest opening film in history, beating the 2006 film Zyzzyx Road which attracted 6 patrons and $20 in revenue during its opening week:) cheers > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Worst_Movie_Ever! Haha! $11, awesome. And for Zyzzyx Rd, it was originally $30, but one of the crew went and saw the film with his girlfriend, then asked for money back which brought it down to $20. Some sites just weren't counting the refund.

Did you know that I have no reason to believe something is in the Bible unless one provides the book, chapter and verse that the alleged something is supposed to be in? Did you know that there is no letter "S" in the name of the last book of the New Testament?
