post all your random facts here smile

The Eisenhower interstate system requires that one mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections are usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.

I was always scared with my mother's obsession with the good scissors. It made me wonder if there were evil scissors lurking in the house somewhere.

A law from New Jersey, states that it is illegal to wear a bullet proof vest whilst committing a murder.

Doesn't say anything about committing the murder being illegal though...!

You can't avoid pain by fencing yourself from it.
Some times you need the help of others more than anything else
But you have to let them close enough to help......

OK, is this the Stupid Law thread? (Because Missouri...)

There are exactly five regular convex polyhedra (one time I wrote a paper on exactly why this is). There's one with 20 faces and 12 vertices and one with 12 faces and 20 vertices; one with 8 faces and 6 vertices and one with 6 faces and 8 vertices; and one with 4 of each. The 20-face one has 3-sided faces, with 5 at each vertex; the 12-face one has 5-sided faces with 3 at each vertex, and so on.

Never noticed that, huh? Geez, open your eyes! :-)

i learnt what miscellaneous meant the other day. im known for randomness. and drukenness which i happen to be also.

you can get the milk out of green coconuts and leave it in the sun for a few hours and it turns into a lush alcoholic mixture stuff (so ive heard)

if you get out the adrenalin gland of a (live) human and milk it then u can get high of the milk. you have to have less than the tip of a match or it puts you in a coma. its ment to be the best high you can get if you do it right.


a chode is a penis that is thicker than it is long

er, lightning, im gonna have to argue the bullet one. you can get both subsonic and supersonic rounds. most pistol rounds are subsonic, as are .22 caliber rifle rounds. and, because technically a big naval gunboat is still a rifle, they are subsonic too.

the letter V doesnt appear on the periodic table of elements. (i think its v, not certain.)

If you are within an eigth of a mile of a thermonuclear blast (cant remember what size, might be 50 kiloton plus), you will be dead, and evaporated, before the nervous impulse reaches the brain. you are literally dead before you know it.

MiG, that's why when Reagan was playing brinksmanship with the Soviets (remember them? they were in Russia and some other places), and my friend said she wanted to go for a long drive in the country until it was over, I said I wanted to be in downtown NYC. Which would be ground zero* for a nuke if the Sovs started lobbing them.

She and I would both die, I reasoned, me quickly and painlessly, her slowly and miserably.


*not to be mistaken for Ground Zero, which is a different, though related term.

Chemists. Sheesh. :-)

"Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" is the shortest pangram in the English language.(1)(2)

(1) A pangram is a well-formed, reasonably coherent sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet.

(2) I'm actually hoping someone will give me an even shorter one, but since the above has 29 letters and repeats only a, o, and u this would be difficult.

there's one for York as well, if you are a freeman of York, you are allowed to shoot a scottish man with a crossbow.

there is more, i'm sure its something like in front of the minster, or as long as you kill him with one shot or something.

the bird of prey the buzzards' latin name is Buteo Buteo, and it has a smaller relative called the hobby, classified in latin as Falco Sub buteo

the man who invented Subbuteo wanted to call it "the hobby" but they wouldn't let him patent the name as it was too generic...so he called it subbuteo...the latin name for the hobby

It's smashing to be back x

The scientific name of the Cocoa tree is 'theobromos cacao'. 'Cacao' is the native name; 'theobromos' means 'the food of the gods' - apt, as I'm sure you'll agree. The active ingredient in chocolate is theobromine, which has antidepressant properties - so it's not just the sensual pleasure of eating chocolate that causes that little lift, nor sugar shock either.

Chocolate only contains trace amounts of caffeine, but the theobromine and other alkaloids can disturb the brain's sleep pattern, so it's best not to eat it right before bed.

Once when giving a recipe for brownies, I cautioned that it was a LOT of cocoa powder, and to stir slowly. To do otherwise, I warned, would "put you at risk for inhalation theobromosis."
