How about a Ripleys believe it or not type thread...unusual facts etc.etc.?

My wife just asked me, "Did you know that the words

SILENT
LISTEN

ok, but it doesn't have to just be about words, it can involve strange facts, experiences, the unusual etc.

1: Evian water spelled backwards is Naive.

2: If you enlarged a cockroach to the size of a nascar it would reach speeds of over 200 miles per hour.

3: Dawn dishwashing liquid generously mixed with water kills wasps because they breathe through their exoskeletons and the mucousy substance suffocates them.

4: Water in toilet bowls swirl in different directions depending on if you are in the Northern or the southern hemisphere.

5: Sperm whales collapse their lungs enabling them to dive deeper than human submarines (which are shaped like sperm whales)

6: certain species of scorpions can be frozen over night- taken from the freezer and after they thaw out can walk away.

7: Owls have special feathers that allow them to fly absolutely silent.

8: The longest living tree today is named Methuselah is almost 5,000 years old.

9: racecar spells racecar both forwards and backwards

10: largemouth bass see in color in the daytime and black and white at night.

Exactly the type of posts I was thinking of. I'll avoid eating frozen scorpions.

Premature Rapture?

In 1930 all 30 inhabitants of an eskimo village outside of churchill, canada disappeared without a trace. the village was left intact complete with dogs, food, guns, empty graves, and even a needlework project in progress.

I heard that a great multitude will be invited to a feast,
and that the least shall be great,
you'll probably hate yourself if you don't come.

So, I got to thinking about this and came to the following conclusion......

I'm ok, uh, and so am I, but we ain't sure about you........
