Jules Grimm Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 A father sea catfish keeps the eggs of his young in his mouth until they are ready to hatch. He will not eat until his young are born, which may take several weeks. (apologies for the flood of facts, but i found a wicked site that had really cool "strange facts" so thought i'd share them while i was looking at the page.) Quote

InfiniteNow Posted June 12, 2006 Report Posted June 12, 2006 Humans generally eat more (feel hungrier) when surriounded by orange/redish colors. They will eat less (feel less hungry) when surrounded by greens/blues. This is why McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's all use oranges and reds. Quote
Boerseun Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Posted June 13, 2006 Interesting! Reptiles only need about 10% of the food a similar-sized mammal needs, simply by being cold-blooded! But then again, they're pretty much useless once the sun sets! Quote
