Useless Facts

Lance Corporal, and thanks!

 

Hey MC Corlixia is a Lance Corporal.

 

The average lightning bolt is half-an-inch wide and five miles long.

 

.. or head on over to Twin Peaks and shovel your way out of any amount of shit for just 29.95. Double coated.

 

Charles Darwin married his first cousin.

 

Just learned that 4th cousins are not really cousins and anything further out than that are just people. and do not get me started on 1st cousins, 4x removed, I don't even know what that is supposed to mean.

 

I am a man.

 

Did you guys know that it can take a corpse over five years to decompose in cold water?

 

Wait. But doesn't the term man imply that he is human? Is there some kind of conspiracy going on here.

 

I'm a male orca, yes. :3

 

The tomato is related to the nightshade and native to south america. Tomato plants last through winter if put in a greenhouse which simulates their native jungle habitat. The carrot is related to the parsnip and cilantro, native to the middle-east and the original breed is purple with orange being one of the last colour variations; appearing in the 17th century. Half of the world's carrrot supply is grown in china.

 

A Dutch feast is one at which the host gets drunk before the guests do.

 

For a few weeks in 1968, a buxom young woman named Francine Gottfried drew crowds of up to 10,000 men who ogled her on her way from the subway to her place of employment.

 

I don't feel well both mentally and physically.

 

An Avocado is a fruit. Actually there's a long list of vegetables that are secretly fruits. Tomatoes are fruits and avocados are fruits. While Bananas are berries. And those things you think are seeds on the Strawberries are actually the fruit and the Strawberry just a tasty sexy flesh organ of the fruit and part of the seed. Nature is weird.

 

I thought the fleshy part of the strawberry was the hypanthium (i.e. a part of the flower/stem).

Also, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries are not berries (they're clusters of small fruits grown together into so called aggregate fruits).

 

Botanists are just jerks who are trying to confuse us.

There's that saying that goes, "If you can't befuddle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit." I don't know who said that, but a lot of people follow that philosophy.

 

Botanists are superior than everyone else. :>

 

That might be my misinterpretation then about the Strawberry thing; the ovary wall sort of drops off and what enlarges is the patch of tissue that is underneath the structures that contain eggs (the ovules) which then develop into seeds,"

Eggplants and Chili Peppers are technically berries as well.

 

So, berries aren't berries, but peppers are? Damn you, botanists! Damn you!
