Ooh, Sarah, so when people up north called me "hinny", they weren't being affectionate after all? Damn!

MrsDB - from my cat (who also says "Aaargggh!")

Elvis Presley's middle name was Aaron

A group of crows is called a murder

Did you know you can get 'cat condoms' to prevent infection ? Easy to put on, and keeps kitty safe ?

Pet Sounds was recorded on an 8 track. I tend to trot this out whenever I am in the company of muso types despit the fact that I don't even know what it means. They usually nod in appreciation

Cat condoms? Seriously?

There are more squid in the sea than people on the planet......

Don't know why but this blew my mind when I first read it.... What are all those squids up to down there...?

Btw loved the tickling the roof of your mouth thing! Just freak my DH out with that one.

It takes the same amount of water to produce 1 hamburger as having a 4 hour shower.

The meat industry has a larger carbon footprint than the whole transport industry (cars, trains, lorries, buses AND planes).

Both these come from today's Food Programme on Radio Four. Apparently meat eating is seriously unenvironmentally friendly. Oh dear.... Feeling bad about last night's steak.

Yeah, but ... cooked meat provides something like 40 times the nutritional value of uncooked meat, and a vegan diet costs 100 times as much in terms of energy used per calorie gained.

Which makes raw-food diets an absurd luxury of the overfed, but explains why homo sapiens bounded forwards on discovering how to cook and farm :)

Elvis Presley's middle name was actually spelled "Aron".

Elephants have prehensile penises which can also be used as an extra leg.

Elephants can't jump because if they did it would break their legs.

Ducks have corkscrew penises, female ducks have corkscrew vaginas which go in the opposite direction and almost 20 fake vaginas - duck sex isn't exactly consensual.

The platypus is the only venomous mammal, they also don't have specialised mammary glands and instead sweat milk for their young.

When kangaroos are born they are smaller than your little finger nail and have to climb up and into the pouch - how this evolved I have no idea.

Some sharks are born live, since they have no other way of getting nutrients in the "womb" they eat their brothers and sisters.

New Zealand was not inhabited by humans until about 900 years ago.

female ducks have corkscrew vaginas which go in the opposite direction and almost 20 fake vaginas - with same-way threads, presumably, or lacking in nerves?

Jeez, who'd be a duck?

I like the prehensile elephant penis leg, though! Unless you're about to reveal some horrid vaginal mismatch in the elephantess? (What's a female elephant called, anyway?)

Bees inform each other about the direction wherethe source of polon is and the distance by dancing

Non edible parts of tomato, potato and pepper plants are all poisonous

A flea always marches East - apparently that fact has been used by sailors

MrsDB, I sincerely hoped you were taking the piss!

kayah - not all that poisonous, the stems & spiders of tomatoes add flavour and nutritional value to your sauce :)

Fleas march?? Wow!!

When the Mona Lisa was originally painted, it had eyebrows. Early reviewers mentioned how delicately they had been painted. Over the years they have faded or been lost during multiple cleaning, restoration and conservation efforts.

The same thing happened to my eyebrows ...

Elvis' middle name is mis-spelled on his gravestone.

Female ferrets can die from lack of sex.

Male kangaroos have 2 penises. But the females have 3 vaginas.

Female kangaroos are permanently pregnant/raising a joey.

Sydney has double the annual rainfall of London!

So how does the cat get his condom on without ripping it to shreds with his claws?

Indonesia is the largest archipelligo in the world
