| Okay, to prevent our forums from any future inactivity, I've thought of a fun new way to have something to look forward to on these forums every day. I'm hoping that this thread will turn into one only those where we can use Roman numerals. Anyway, here it is: The Random Fact of the Day thread. Here, you post the dumbest, craziest, grossest fact you want (mind the rules) every day! Now, this isn't limited to just one fact a day; anyone can post whatever they want whenever he/she wants. And, yes, you not only can, but should reply to other's posts. That's half of what'll make this thread fun! Here, I'll start: Cockroaches will resort to cannibalism if they can't find anything else to eat. One more thing: please don't just see this thread and discard it; the idea is to ensure these forums stay alive. | |

| Did you know that a Liger (the offspring of a lion and a tiger) can grow up to 8 feet tall? And it unfortunately cannot produce and Liger's also have a short lifespan. | |

| 8 feet? Wow. So it isn't found in the wild right?
75 year old person will have slept about 23 years. | |

| @Rocky: I'd like to sleep 23 years... @Avi: Never heard of a liger, though after googling it, it's real. That's messed up... | |

| Did you know that doctors Warren and Barry Marshall drank stomach eating germs that killed them in order to isolate the bacteria that causes ulcers? One of their last words was: "Why, yes, I do regret drinking stomach poison." | |

| Rasputin lived when he drank and ate cyanide and got shot a bunch of times. That's why his murderers had to tie him up and drown him. I always love telling that story.
@Geng: Did the doctor live? | |

| Did you know that a Giant Squid was caught on tape in its natural habitat just last month? The Discovery Channel plans on doing a episode on the Giant Squid using some of that footage. You can check the video out on YouTube. | |

| The ends of fat cells are hydrophobic (afraid of water) while the others are hydrophillic (water loving). | |

| Ninja's were actually a type of samurai, contrary to what most believe with the whole "Ninja vs. Samurai" idea hollywood gives off. Samurai is simply "One who serves" and is in short just the Military, just like how militaries have different branches and jobs, so did samurai. So the idea of Ninja Vs. Samurai is somewhat correct, but only because japan was a very tumultuous place, wars happened all the time, it was just soldier vs. soldier. The idea that ninja's were villagers is also partially correct, there were entire ninja villages, such as Iga, and Koga. | |

| The titanic may also be one of the only ships to hit an iceberg. (Probly not fact, but cmon, how do you NOT notice an iceberg?) But, did you know In ancient Egypt, the ability to store wine until maturity was considered alchemy and was the privilege of only the pharaohs | |

| Gavon, THAT is why we've missed you so. Did you know Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart the composer was only a child? And his symphony number 41 : Jupiters symphony (the one with a sudden loud noise) was to capture the attention of a very rude audience he was playing for. | |

| @^ Lol, I actually remember that from 5th grade band! I'm pretty sure Mozart would've spat on us the way we played it. | |
