facts
I don't know if any of these are true or not. I found them on the internet and that's good enough for me.
-The Latin word for "penis", Gladius, is the same as the Latin word for "sword", "vagina" is Latin for "sheath" aka where you put your sword.
-The little dot above the lowercase I and J is called a tittle.
-The ampersand (the &) has been stylized somewhat over time, but the original version looks like "Et" in cursive, which means "And" in Latin.
-There are three golf balls on the moon.
-The term decimate comes from a roman practice of taking a legion that has performed poorly and killing every tenth man (deci=10). The means of execution? They were beaten to death by the other nine.
-The worst crime in Rome was the murder of your own father. The punishment was very ancient, dating to the Early Republic--you would be sewn into a sack with a snake, rooster, and a "monkey" (which in this sense probably means a deformed midget of some type, since the Romans of circa 500 B.C. would have no concept of a monkey as we currently think of them).
-Hippos can't jump.
-Sea cucumbers have a fear mechanism which triggers them to spew out their intestines when something tries to eat them.
-The long recorded flight time of a chicken is 13 seconds.
-Frogs turn their stomachs out through their mouths and clean it with their front legs rather than vomit.
-The penis of a barnacle is three times the length of its body.
-Rabbits will eat, shit, then eat their own shit. Thereby passing it through their digestives systems twice.
-Turtles have enough iron in their heads to set off a metal detector and can breathe through their anus.
-Armadillos are born in quadruplets (unless one or more die in the womb).
-As you approach lightspeed, your mass increases towards infinite. So if you ever were to travel at lightspeed, you would have infinite mass. By proxy, your penis would have infinite mass. so you could say, my penis is more massive than the universe. But as a devastating corrolary, the length of your penis will shrink to zero.
-A standard 35mm film projector shows 24 frames a second, but each frame is only on screen for 1/50th of a second, so for over half the movie you were sitting in the dark.
-There are species of deep-sea fish where the male lives inside the female.
I was going for unusual facts that people might not have heard before.
oh. here's one.
james has four mothers.
discuss.
It explains a lot. It usually only takes one overbearing mother to turn a young man gay. The fact that James had to contend with four explains why he's what we like to call super gay.
Does that make me a super hero? I mean...you called me super. I'm just sayin'....
Yeah, you're a superhero. A big, gay superhero.
