Facts, huh? Ok. There's a lake in India which is 16,000 feet above sea level. Within the waters of this lake lie the remains of more than 200 bodies, each and every one killed with blows to the head, nothing else.

@Dr Zoidberg (calling you that because your name looks like him) Is that nirvana lyrics above your avatar and how do you do that?

I've been wondering this for so long!
I can't figure out how to change that text! >___0


I don't think he needs to be immortal. I think all he needs to do is to write the right story. Because some stories do live forever.

Once you have a little over 1k posts you get the option in your settings to set a custom title.

 

Spleen knows the exact number.

I think is is exactly a thousand.

Was for me if I remember correctly.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

Just like when you step on the soil in Africa, you are stepping on the remains of 10 different people.

Wow this thread has turned crazy! I left you guys alone for 5 minutes!

Since we are doing gender facts:

A males testicle will retract in the cold and stretch in hot environments.

A breastfeeding mothers body will change its temperature by an entire degree Celsius to either warm or cool their breast feeding child, they can also detect viruses and sickness through the Areola and administer antibodies specifically designed to fight the viruses it detected.

Some men when given enough stimulation on their nipples over a course of months will develop milk in their pectorals.

WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP

What Jaz said.

You needs to post moar and then you unlock the option in your profile.

And yes, they are Nirvana lyrics.

In 100 Million years time New Zealand and Australia will have completely been submerged in the ocean. China and Russia's landmass would have grown by about 60%.

 

My science teacher told me this today :)

I remember seeing this on the discovery channel

 

Rosalia Lombardo was an Italian child born in 1918 in Palermo, Sicily. She died on December 6 1920. It is thought that she died from a case of pneumonia. Rosalia’s father was sorely grieved upon her death that he approached Dr. Alfredo Salafia, a noted embalmer, to preserve her.She was one of the last corpses to be admitted to the Capuchin catacombs of Palermo in Sicily.

Creepy, but really really sad.
