Strange Facts By FAX
Hi everybody. This is FAX.
I've been noticing that Mr. Amnorix has had great success with his "This Day In History" thread deal. My only problem with his thread is that history is ... well ... over and, therefore, pretty useless.
That's why I've decided to create this much more informative and valuable thread right here to share some information with you guys that is both wonderful and strange ... not to mention factual. So settle back and enjoy some of the first of many wonderful and strange facts which you may find wonderful and strange. And, remember guys ... when you meet a hot chick at a bar, laying down some wonderful and strange facts is a great way to break the ice and maybe get her to buy you a free drink or just flat out give you some money for cab fare.
Fact #1: Tom Sawyer was the first novel ever written on a typewriter. OMG!!
Fact #2: A rat can last longer without water than a camel. (However, an Arab cannot ride a rat for very long unless he is a really tiny Arab.)
Fact #3: A snail can have about 25,000 teeth.
Fact #4: In the flim "Star Trek: First Contact" Picard shows Lilly that they are orbiting Earth. In the scene, Australia and Papa New Guinea are clearly visible, but New Zealand is missing!!!!
Fact #5: It is illegal to be a prostitute in Siena, Italy, if your name is Mary.
Fact #6: Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator while he was host of Lorne Green's Wild Kingdom!!!
Well, that's all the strange facts for today. Tune in tomorrow ... or some other time ... for more wonderful and strange facts.
