The most common cause of death in fish is extreme dehydration. :-?
And there I was thinking that it was extreme Japanese Sushi Bars...
London zoo will lose on average 15 chameleons a year. :-?
Not hard to believe really as chameleons are known for blending into the background... easy to lose one or two or fifteen
The heaviest object ever 2 be successfully floated in the dead sea is a 500kg anvil ( A feat acheived by benny gilmore in 1998)
Wow
The purest form of water is found in the hump of the arabian camel, camelus dromedaries.
Now if we could only bottle it... camel on tap
if all the boats were taken out of the worlds oceans the sea level would drop by 2 centimetres.
again... Wow
Inuit people start 2 sweat in temperatures greater than 2 c
hmmmm.... I've gone out with some girls like that...
Some good advice..."Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things"

At any 1 time there are approximately 7 people stranded on desert islands
Really???? That's quite a scary stat

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.

Default More funny but true

Lightening strikes account for more than 42% of all giraffe deaths.
Colin an agoraphobic giant silverback gorilla, is the only animal in history to have voluntarily left the wild & broken in2 a zoo. He currently resides @ the Mombasa zoological park, & is free 2 leave whenever he wants.
When 14 or more zebra are grouped together on the serengeti plain they become visible from space.
Deep in the most remote waters of the south pacific, in the depths greater than 6000 metres, lives the rare popper fish, dynamitius aquaticus. When one of these fish giant fish dies it floats 2 the surface & explodes with the same force as a 1000LB bomb. :shock:
2001 saw a massive reduction in the estimated number of stick insects after it was discovered that over two thirds were in actual fact just sticks.
In 2001 during an independent audit @ NASA. It was discovered that former satellite technician Buddy Fairchild wasted over $200 billion dollars looking @ himself from space
It is predicted that by the year 2052 the North American roadrunner, which has recently observed obeying stop signs & traffic lights, will understand 98% of the highway code.

Hmmmm... now that's a tall story

2001 saw a massive reduction in the estimated number of stick insects after it was discovered that over two thirds were in actual fact just sticks.
I take it they excluded Peter Crouch from these statistics???

In 2001 during an independent audit @ NASA. It was discovered that former satellite technician Buddy Fairchild wasted over $200 billion dollars looking @ himself from space
What kind of weird voyueristic pervert is he????

It is predicted that by the year 2052 the North American roadrunner, which has recently observed obeying stop signs & traffic lights, will understand 98% of the highway code.
Are these signs made by ACME corp? and installed By Coyote's???...
