* . . . pushing keys down on your keyboard make letters/numbers/and or symbols appear that you can use to make words, phrases, and sentences that allow you to communicate with people from all over the world.

Actually, now that I think about that, its pretty amazing. The internet is so cool.

Edit - but we all know the internet is for porn.

The lap is the only part of our body that exists temporarily.

Daddy Longlegs are the most venomous known arachnid (and they're not spiders). Fortunately, their fangs are too weak to puncture human skin, or much of anything else.

The peanut is neither a pea, nor a nut. It's actually a legume, like the cashew.

More species in this world use their own vomit as a defence mechanism, than possess opposable thumbs.

Some rodents are capable of leaping higher vertically than they can land from without injury.

Rhinos are incapable of moving backwards.

The animal with the largest penis-to-body-size ratio is the flee.

The sticky chemicals added into peanut butter are also part of the recipe for napalm. Yummy.

Cancer can live forever, it doesn't weaken with age like normal cells.

Same goes for bacteria, and most fungi.

There is no name for the inside of our elbow joint (it's the only unnamed part of the body).

You can't touch your elbows together behind your back.

This above bit of trivia is fun to tell particularly busty girls who like to display cleavage.... go ahead, try it.

- Emus and Kangaroos cant move backwards, thats why they are on the Australian coat of arms, to say that "Australia is never moving backwards"
-plants have sex, and the daisy (along with many other flowers) is a hermaphrodite
-if the flea was the size of a human, it could jump as high as the adverage sky-scraper
-elephants and ants cant jump, but can both climb

What do Chicago, Alabama, and Boston all have in common, besides all being places located in the States?

PS, orange doesn't need to rhyme with doorhinge because it rhymes with
hinge. You only need the last syllable to sound alike to have a rhyme.

PPS, daddy longlegs don't have the most deadly venom.

Simple, they all consist of two words. And in this case, they're all plural. Oh, and you don't have to use both words, any of those are generally assumed just by one of the two. Baseball, Dump, and Jeans, respectively.

If we're gonna play a word game, how about it become a different thread, so we don't drag this thread into a tangent?

Oh, and Daddy Longlegs do indeed have the deadliest ARACHNID venom, for quantity.

I don't trust any "scientific" study that refers to the Daddy Longlegs as a "spider"... They're an arachnid, this is true, but not spiders. If they were testing spiders (and very well could have), they weren't testing the right species of arachnid. But it is true that they also don't have enough poison to actually harm much of anything. Most deadly poison, but essentually useless otherwise.
