One of koala bear's main sources of food is eucalyptus. When a koala bear gets kicked out of the 'pack', they have no other koala buddies to clean their fur so the oils from the eucalyptus build up on their coat. Under certain temperatures, their fur will just erupt in flames! It happens, sadly. :-(
@oil I don't get that one though. Why 10am? There's time changes, time differences, etc. And everyone sleeps and wakes at different times. I don't see how 10am could have anything to do with anything.
@oilmanswife, in French, there is a scientific name for the back of your knee, "creu poplitée", though a lot of French-speaking people don't knoe that!
Did you know that there is only one word in the dictionary that ends in mt? Yes it is true. The word is dreamt. As in "I dreamt I was floating on a cloud"
The word f*ck came from England. A couple had to ask the king permission to have sex with intention to have a child. If he said yes toy would be given a sign to hand on your door saying "Fornicating Fnder Consent of the King".
If you were caught having sex without the sign you would be punished by being jailed... Or even worse. If you had a baby and they found out that you weren't given consent you were not allowed to have your child unless the king said so.
The term "I'm broke" originates from the days where your "bank balance/information" was etched into a piece of tile. If you went to the bank and had no money or had over extended your line of credit, they would break your tile.
Asparagus makes everyones urine smell bad but not everyone can smell it. You have to have a certain gene that makes it possible to smell the compound that causes your urine to smell after eating asparagus!
@pp i have heard the stinky vag from dr pepper but i have like an addiction to the stuff and my vag smells fine. I have been drinking it for over 10yrs though so maybe i am immune to the smell??? I am gonna ask dh if he thinks it stinks.
Pp, watch the science of sex on Netflix it explains it. Basically how a male's family member smells tells him it's a no go as far as reproducing with her so that there is genetic diversity. They had the subjects sniff panties of women who were ovulating and asked to rate the attractiveness from that, those who were related to the men the guys thought smelled either unappealing or had no scent, whereas the women who had no relation smelled 'good'.
Zombie- that's the grossest test I've ever heard of.
How did they even present it? "Here are the discharge-covered panties of your sister, cousin, mother, and a random lady off the street. Based on smelling the panties alone, who would you rather bang?"
Lol Delilah, they placed the panties in containers and did not tell the men which wad which. Olfacotry science is awesome. Kind of like how we, as women, smell certain imperceptible ways to men that we will never know. Vis a ver sa

Queen Mary Tudor in England suffered from pseudocyesis. Which is where someone wants to be pregnant so bad...they show every single symptom of pregnancy(lactation, swollen abdomen, enlarged uterus, hormones are secreted and all).
She was said to suffer from it because of the extreme pressure to produce an heir to the throne. The phrase "bloody mary" is from a commentator who was describing the violent acts carried out after everyone found out, she wasn't actually pregnant.
Female hyenas produce extra hormones that make their clitoris (which is also the birth canal) grow much longer. It's about 7 inches giving the illusion that they have a penis. It's very tricky for males to be able to insert their penis into the female because he has to bend his penis backwards and upwards to fit it into a very small, but long hole. If they are successful there is an extremely high death rate of mothers because pushing a 2 pound baby out usually causes tearing and the mother bleeds to death.
in the movie Ghost with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze, The sounds the shadow ghosts made when coming after the dead bad guys was actually baby cries slowed way down
The first jockstrap was used in hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. It took men 100 years to realize that the brain was important too. Lol
@josietheSAHM...there are no clocks in any large casinos (idk about truck stop casinos). Also the lights in a casino are very low and there are no windows in casinos. This is so the patron stays longer by losing track of time.
Female kangaroos can postpone a (stop an already in process) pregnancy for a long time if they have a joey in the pouch already. And when they finally decide to go ahead and go on with the pregnancy (by releasing hormones I believe), each pocket in the pouch produces milk for the newborn and the older (but still young) joey (and could also be pregnant at that time as well... just waiting for the right time to have yet another).
Kangaroos are AWESOME! and have so many interesting facts about them!
This is one of the best topic ive read through, really interesting! Here is one random fact from me :-) Its something more of an interest to anyone who are in oil & gas or knows someone in that industry: There are more than 40,000.00 types of steel being sold in the world!
Heard on the radio that the word mistletoe means something like "dung twig" in a different language? Now i dont feel so bad that my hubby isnt romantic when he sees it! "Honey, come here and give me a smooch under this dung twig". How sweet. :0
Eating pineapples (or most anything with a naturally high sugar content) makes semen taste sweeter. And smoking or drinking makes it taste foul.
Women can release a sweet nectar from their mouths by pulling their own tongues back and sucking while climaxing.
You can use Coca cola to clean car batteries and bike chains, if you leave a chicken wing in a container with some long enough, it will eat the meat right off the bone.
Eating bananas keeps Mosquitos from biting (this apparently depends on each individual's body chemistry, works for me though). I LOVE SAYING, "A BANANA A DAY KEEPS THOSE BUGS AWAY!" LOL!
P.s referring to the coment about there being no clocks in casino's.. in Australia it is against the law not the have a clock or have the time available and easy to see by anyone using a poker machine.... whilest they may not actually have a clock as per say most places and machines have the time very small in the bottom of the screen!!

In Virginia bathtubs must be installed in the yard because it is illegal to put a bathtub in the house..

We got yelled at for swimming in the fountain in front of City Hall a few times by the cops when I was a teenager. Lol. That's probably frowned upon everywhere

In most (if not all) a woman cannot legally rape a man. Don't ask me how I know that! I was discussing it the other day!
She can sexually assault him and violate. Just not legally rape.

Female kangaroos can postpone a (stop an already in process) pregnancy for a long time if they have a joey in the pouch already. And when they finally decide to go ahead and go on with the pregnancy (by releasing hormones I believe), each pocket in the pouch produces milk for the newborn and the older (but still young) joey (and could also be pregnant at that time as well... just waiting for the right time to have yet another).
Kangaroos are AWESOME! and have so many interesting facts about them!
