LA : Short and Sweet
Los Angeles' full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula"
WOW! I have a hard time remembering the person I just met's name. LA sounds a lot better. You can totally tell that a hispanic person named that city giving it a first name, a middle name, a last name, it's mother's maiden name, the grandmother's maiden name and the neighbor's mother's maiden name. Jeez.

Are you in Heat?
A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate.
Very strange. Let's just be glad that this is not the case for us because women will be dying every 3 seconds and men would not be able to go to work so that their women will not die if they do not deliver. Although the men would love this fact to be true. Woman could not say that they have a headache because maybe, just maybe today might be the day that she croaks.

Scorpion + Alcohol = ?
If you pour a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death.
I want to meet the person who discovered this? The same goes for the person who discovered that snails can sleep for three years. Who has that kind of time?

Microwave
The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

Did I swim by that rock already?
A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.
All they really need to know is to swim. It's not like they need to remember what their name is, or how many calories are in those flakes they eat.

Born in the USA
The first CD pressed in the US was Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA."
Was this CD really ever on high demand to have it pressed first before Pink Floyd or Rush?

Also, the goldfish memory of 3 seconds has been proven untrue. (popular myth) but studies have been done in the last few years that show goldfish have a memory span longer than 'just keep swimming.'
