BluesMan Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 I would've given rep for that, but apparently I've gotta spread the love first... COULDN'T AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!! Cats? HATE the ****ers! They kill all the birds in the garden, the geckos in the house, anything you'd care to mention, cats completely and utterly seem to **** up! The bastards we drove down to Cape Town are my mate's cats, he's relocating. I personally can't stand the little ****ers...I feel the exact same way about Penguins and that's a fact.Satans little imps they are. Quote
CerebralEcstasy Posted May 31, 2006 Report Posted May 31, 2006 Men are struck by lightning 4X more than women. Accounting for 84% of all lightning fatalities, and 82% of injuries. I think this just goes to prove.........there is a God. (Further proof can be given if lightning strikes let's say.......an ex-husband LOL!) Turtle 1 Quote

Dark Mind Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Not sure if this one's been mentioned yet, but hot/warm water freezes faster when put in the freezer than cold water will. Kind of counter intuitive for most, yet for some odd reason, it makes sense to me. Quote
Boerseun Posted June 1, 2006 Author Report Posted June 1, 2006 I think the warm water/cold water freezing thing was busted recently on Mythbusters, no? As to lightning striking men more than women, could it have something to do with men in general being considerably taller than women? Quote

If that is the case, then I doubt god will help us. Quote
ronthepon Posted June 1, 2006 Report Posted June 1, 2006 Probably due to the higher content of haemoglobin iron in men. (Men come from mars. Mars is red due to iron.) Quote

Michaelangelica Posted June 7, 2006 Report Posted June 7, 2006 There are around 1000 species of native earthworms in Australia. One of the most spectacular is the Giant Gippsland Earthworm; at over a metre long it is one of the largest earthworms in the world. Most of Australia's native earthworms have been unable to survive the disturbance of land clearing and agriculture. Introduced earthworms, mainly from Europe, have now replaced native earthworms in most disturbed habitats. The Giant Gippsland Earthworm (Megascolides australis) is a sub-soil species and has been able to survive in pockets of land less severely disturbed by cultivation. Because of its patchy distribution and its sensitivity to environmental pressures the conservation status of the Giant Gippsland Earthworm is vulnerable. If the species declines any further it will be in serious danger of extinction. The earthworm's entire range is less than 50,000 ha of the Bass River Valley in Victoria. But only a fraction of the land is suitable habitat. The worm is usually found in blue/grey or red clay soils along stream banks, gullies, soaks and some south or west facing hills.
