Did you know that the average 42 kilogram Thai girl can eat her own weight in Som Tam, Gai Yarn and Khao Neow in a single sitting and then still get hungry for a snack on the way home whereas I can eat ONE bag of potato chips weighing 50gms (ok 25grams of which is fat) and put on 2 kilograms in weight?

Long ago, clans would burn down your house to get rid of you without killing you. The phrase "your fired!" came from this.

Yep Ken, my idea of a truly enjoyable afternoon... browsing through 7,000 drawings of knots. Ken to wifey, 'Ooh, dear, do come and have a look at this one. It's brilliant!'

Orright, I know you were joking... but I just couldn't resist...

did you know that grey hairs can grow up overnight...and in twin sets...cos they were not there yesterday

Geez Squigle, your grey hairs are doing very well for your post count. That's at least two threads you've mentioned it in. Gawd help us if you sprout a crop of 'em.

This thread is about YOU telling US something, not you asking a question. Start a "Do You Know" or "Who Know's" thread for that.

Okay... back ON topic.

Did you know...

A flea circus refers to a circus sideshow attraction in which fleas were attached to miniature carts and other items, and encouraged to perform circus acts within a small housing. Fresnel lenses were mounted on all sides of the housing to allow visitors to view the attraction. A number of electrical, magnetic, and mechanical devices were used to augment the exhibit. In some cases these mechanisms were responsible for all of the "acts," with loose fleas in the exhibit maintaining the illusion. Flea circuses were first advertised as early as 1833 in England, and were a main carnival attraction until 1930. Some flea circuses persisted in very small venues in the United States as late as the 1960s.

Fleas are trained not to jump by keeping them in a container with a lid. Once trained, they are harnessed by carefully wrapping a thin gold wire around the neck of the flea. Once in the harness the fleas usually stay in it for life. The harnesses are attached to the props and the strong legs of the flea allows them to move objects significantly larger than themselves. Chemicals such as camphor that repel fleas are placed on lightweight balls and the fleas kick them away, this makes the fleas look like they are juggling or playing football.

Human fleas are used for performances as other fleas are too small!

No but it could have been a Scandinavian.

The town appears in the Domesday Book (1086) as Escumetorp, which is Old Norse for "Skuma's homestead", a site which is believed to be in the town centre close to where the present-day Market Hill is located.

Did somebody mention Scandivanians!???

BOOBYJUICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scandivania - not all that far from the United Klingon (with apologies to Naam).

you spotted that?! :shock:

Did you know?...there are actually two types of humans? The slightly larger and less intelligent kind, males, have protruding external genitalia called "penises" that are used for making important life decisions. Meanwhile, females have these nifty things called "vaginas" that no one understands yet, especially males.

less intelligent kind,

Objection M'Lord, OBJECTION

The big, hairy alpha male of the group takes the lead with his potruding forehead a few inches in front of his stride, while he absentmindly lets his long, muscular forearms graze the stone littered surface of the trail leading to the group's cave.

Curiously, once inside the cave, the males separate and seat themselves before devices known as 'computers'. They sometimes remain seated at these devices for several hours at a time, corresponding electronically with other members of the group in some sort of indiscernible activity known as 'Bedlam'. Meanwhile, the females go to a separate part of the cave and seat themselves before a device known as a 'television', which displays instructional images of how the females should approach romantic situations and the resultant disputes that occur if they do not comply with the instructions.

If this goes on much longer we might as well change Bedlam to Bedrock

tuky, I thought that the moon is gradually drifting ever further away from us, bad news for our descendants as when it is no longer held in orbit, the earth slip off its axis and all sorts of strange things will happen to the weather and tectonic activity.

I knew that, but as I won't be here when it occurs. I refuse to worry about it, or the fact the sun will die as we know it in another 5 billion years or so

Jeez, you learn something knew evryday!

Know all about the AC stuff but the thing about the Greek getting executed for a new theory is astounding. Better tune into history channel more often.

Was watching the History channel yesterday. they had a show on nuclear power. The most outstanding factoid was the radioactive level in beer was 13 times that as the waste water from a nuclear reactor. Gives a new meaning to going out and getting lit up.
