To lighten the boredom of Tuesday afternoon, I propose we posts some FACTS!
These should be:
(a) interesting to a wide audience,
(b) not otherwise available on the Interweb thingy, and
(c) true.
I'll go first.
Hit-and-miss England fast bowler Steve Harmison has a gay uncle in the north west who has had problems with his housing.
FACT!
Tarantulas give rebirth to themselves. If they lose a leg then when they molt and shred their exoskeleton, another limb is born, not perfect due to blood circulation. . When they molt again (normally twice a year from 0-4yrs) they have a perfect 8 legs. A female mexican red-knee generally lives for 25-30 years. My Charlie is 18. They have a brain the same size as a budgie too! FACT! Wonderful pets; clean, interesting, get to know you: and you can hell get rid of Jehova's Witnesses when you answer the door with one on your shoulder!
When Chuck Norris was a baby, he didn't suck his mother's breast. His mother served him whiskey, straight out of the bottle.
Chuck Norris once got into a fight with a one-armed Ninja. Seeing that he had an unfair advantage, Chuck Norris ripped both of his arms off and one of his legs. He then roundhouse-kicked the ninja in the head, killing him instantly, and proceeded to sew his limbs back on using only a rusty tent spike and bailing wire.
Chuck Norris is so bad he makes viruses sick. As such, Chuck Norris is also responsible for the eradication of smallpox.
