the tongue of a blue whale can weigh more than a fully-grown african elephant

I have an uncle who is the mayor of Los Alamos. That place is beautiful.

:eek:

In the early days of the telephone, operators would pick up a call and use the phrase, "Well, are you there?". It wasn't until 1895 that someone suggested answering the phone with the phrase "number please?"

When a frog swallows a meal, his bulgy eyeballs will close and go down into his head! This is because the eyeballs apply pressure and actually push a frog's meal down his throat.

I am 5'11'', 160 lbs. and have blue eyes, white hair and wear a size 11 shoe.

If a person counted at the rate of 100 numbers a minute and kept counting for eight hours a day, five days a week, it would take a little over 4 weeks to count to one million and just over 80 years to reach a billion.

According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction.

when a member of the elephant herd dies, the other elephants often stay for days, caressing the dead with their trunk, as if they were mourning.

this fact was accompanied with a sad picture where i read it.

Can blue whales be born with Downs Syndrome? I'd hate to see how big those tongues get. Also, I bet those whales require enormous hugs.

Maybe whenever scientists find blue whales with giant squid tentacle marks on their sides, it actually isn't from epic squid-whale battles, like science currently thinks. Maybe it's just a result of those nice giant squids giving retarded whales the hugs they need to feel happy and special.

It's amazing how much the natural world can parallel daycare for special children at the YMCA.

for those not familiar with the highway numbering system
 

In 1925, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials set the guidelines for numbering interstates and U.S. highways. Some of these guidelines are:

Interstate north-south routes have odd numbers, with numbers increasing from west to east.
Interstate east-west routes have even numbers, with numbers increasing from south to north.
Interstate highway routes have one- or two- digit numbers.
North-south interstates ending with a 5 and east-west interstates ending with a 0 are typically major cross-country routes.
A three-digit interstate always ends with the two-digit number of the main interstate it loops off from, except I-238.
Three-digit road numbers beginning with an even number are either beltways that go around a city or freeways that go through a city.
Three-digit road numbers beginning with an odd number branch off the main interstate.
U.S. highway north-south routes have odd numbers, with numbers increasing from east to west.
U.S. highway east-west routes have even numbers, with numbers increasing from north to south.
U.S. highway east-west routes ending in 0 tend to be cross-country routes.
Three-digit U.S. routes contain the two digits of their parents routes, but there is not an odd and even number system.

"Go." is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.
