I am really bored, and I looked through my uni textbooks the other day and it had this interesting but useless fact, and I got a thinking; I know heaps of really random facts. Soooo; in this incredibly lame topic state any random FACT that you hold in your knowledge bank for no apparant reason, or obtain through google. It has to be true, no making things up in order to confuse people, also no stating insults as fact, eg. 'Bob smells really bad.' --> The word 'Lethologica' describes the state of being unable to think of a word, ie) when the word is on the 'tip of your tongue'. --> The name 'Donkey Kong' came about coz the game was about a stubborn monkey. But 'stubborn monkey' made for a pretty crappy tittle, so they picked 'Donkey' as y'know, donkey's are stubborn and 'kong' as in 'king kong'. So, wallah, donkey kong. -->Arachibutyrophobia is the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth. -->The sky appears blue because blue light bends the least of all the colours in the spectrum... When light from the sun hits the water droplets in the atmosphere all the other colours bend and head straight down to earth, but blue light bends less, and heads to earth at a slightly more horizontally angle - so yeah, you see the blue light up there most. |

Yes, I'm sure. In fact, it's still green, but they put colouring in it (I think...) Anywayz: "Several ancient cultures viewed the apple as a feminine symbol and found a resemblance between the two halves of a vertically cut apple to the female genital system. Alternatively, an apple cut horizontally resembled a pentagram, which was considered key in revealing knowledge of good and evil." |

Some people originally thought tomatoes were either poisonous or an aphrodisiac. |

Is that why tomatoes are always blushing?  "The largest item found on any menu is roasted camel which is still served at some Bedouin weddings and was offered by royalty in Morocco several hundred years ago. The camel is cleaned and then stuffed with one whole lamb, 20 chickens, 60 eggs, and 110 gallons of water, among other ingredients." Edited by fantanoice, Mar 18 2009, 02:33:40 PM.
