    Everything about this article, from the bizarre premise of jellyfish raining from the sky to the funny section about "raining cats and dogs" amuses me to no end.

    Bizarre Fact #1: The Earth is roughly 2,000 years old and any evidence that appears to predate this information is, by necessity, fabricated.

    You expect me to wade through that garbage to find refuting information? You put way too much faith in my system of beliefs and my motivation.

    I had this little deck of cards that had neat little facts printed on them. The only one I remember said that if you were to align the solar system and scale it down to fit on a human body head to foot, Uranus would be where your butt is. Is it true? I don't know!

    You would think that info would actually be available on wikipedia.

    Doing some rough calculations: assuming the planets are all aligned, and using their average distances from the sun, we see that pluto is about 5900E6 km away from the sun, and uranus is about 2800E6 km away. Normalizing that to 6ft, we get that uranus is 3.081 feet from the top of your body, 2.919 feet from the bottom of your body.

    Supposing that the average human is 8 heads high, so a head therefore is defined to be .75ft The ass sits at about the 4 head mark, or 3 ft down from your head.

    Sooo... yeah, basically.

    Pacific Parrotlets will kill their mate in a jealous rage if there are other birds around to prevent flirting.

    The only reason I know this is because I've recently looked into acquiring a pair.

    Did you know that snails have projectile penises to fertilize their mate and that walking in your garden, if you have a fair amount of snails, you've probably been hit by one?
