mine: Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards. Every human spent about half an hour as a single cell. The Neanderthal's brain was bigger than yours is. 1 in 5,000 north Atlantic lobsters are born bright blue. Children grow faster in the springtime. |

《龜雖壽》 神龜雖壽,猶有竟時。 騰蛇乘霧,終為土灰。 老驥伏櫪,志在千里; 烈士暮年,壯心不已。 盈縮之期,不但在天; 養怡之福,可得永年。 幸甚至哉!歌以咏志。 Is made by Wing-chi.
According to google...COLOMBIA has the highest murder rates
The US has about 76,430,000 pet cats

| Interesting.
Statistically, you are more likely to be killed by a cow attack than a shark attack. Abraham Lincoln predicted his own death a week before he died. The Atlantic Ocean is saltier than the Pacific Ocean. China was the first country to use paper money. The cigarette lighter was invented before the "friction" match. -40 degrees Celsius is the exact same as -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

| Bai Hu, I could easily beat that, not saying I'm going to, though. Einstein couldn't speak fluently when he was nine. His parents thought he might be retarded. Every person has a unique tongue print. About a third of all Americans flush the toilet while they're still sitting on it. An average person laughs about 15 times a day. Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark. A Saudi Arabian woman can get a divorce if her husband doesn't give her coffee. | |
