OMG facts- an awesome site with shit thats interesting as hell - General

[QUOTE=Tentacle;22098492]Blue eyes mutated into existence when early humans (Homo erectus and that lot) travelled out of Africa and into cooler, less intensely heated places, i.e. Europe. Blue and green-eyed and white-skinned people began to appear, as they didn't need the protection from the light nor sun that black skin and brown eyes give. Basically: black people came first, don't be racist, kids.[/QUOTE] Is that why northern europeans are frequently blond as well? I've noticed that my brown hair gets significantly lighter in the summer, so I'm guessing that dark hair is also some kind of UV protection?

[QUOTE=ababs362;22103279]It works for me and I have an extreme gag reflex. I even start to gag when cleaning out my ears with a Q-tip sometimes. It's pretty awesome being able to feel down your throat.[/QUOTE] That's because your ears have extremely long nerves that end in your throat. When your throat itches, don't sit there and do that annoying fucking sound everyone tries to do to scratch it. Scratch your ears, or clean them with a Q-tip. I guarantee it'll work.

[QUOTE] A formal study on the effects of falling from building on cats has never been done (could you imagine scientists chucking cats off of a building, in the name of science?) However, a report in the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association assembled data about cats that have seen vets in New York City after falling from buildings, and the findings are remarkable. Not only did the cats have a [B][I]90%[/I][/B] survival rate, but the [B]cats that fell from the 7th floor or higher had less injuries than those that fell from lower floors.[/B] This phenomenon could be because cats have what is known as a "[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_righting_reflex"]righting reflex[/URL]". [B]When cats fall, they shift their bodies in mid-air automatically to land on their feet[/B]. The cats that fell from higher floors had more time to shift their bodies and land on their feet. Now, before everyone starts throwing their cats off of skyscrapers, there's an alternate theory. The 132 cats in the survey were cats that already survived their falls long enough to go visit a vet. It's possible that cats that fell off higher floors were clearly dead, so their owners didn't bother taking them to the vet, so they were never counted.[/QUOTE] Time to throw my cat off of a skyscraper /irony

[quote]a man was accidentally stabbed through the skull with an iron rod. He lived 11 more years after the accident. When phineas gage was a railroad worker in 1848 a bizarre accident nearly took his life. When handling explosive materials with a tool called a "tamping iron" (a 3-foot iron pole) sparks started flying. Phineas turned away for a second, just as an explosion launched the pole straight through his head. The pointy end of the pole entered his head through the left cheekbone under his eye, went through his brain, and went out through the middle of his forehead. After the pole went through his head, phineas walked home to tell his landlord and then went to see a doctor. Though he survived, people said that his behavior was very different after the accident. Rumor has it that phineas appeared at famous showman p.t. Barnum's museum, to show off his injury, carrying with him the 3 foot pole that went through his head. Check out a real picture of phineas gage with the 3 foot pole that went through his head! Phineas suffered severe convulsions for the rest of his life and died 11 years after his accident. Historians refer to his unusual circumstances as "the american crowbar case", despite the accident not actually involving a crowbar.[/quote] [quote]phineas walked home to tell his landlord and then went to see a doctor.[/quote] "Dudeth, come thither and checketh this shit out!"

[quote]Men have nipples because, as an embryo, everyone is a female until the Y chromosome kicks in. After conception, the human embryo develops as a female. Only after 6-8 weeks does the Y chromosome kick in and the fetus begins developing male characteristics. By this point breast tissue, milk ducts and nipples have already formed. This happens in all mammals, the only exception being stallions, who do not posses nipples. Generally evolution will only weed out a characteristic if it proves harmful to the creature, and of course, although having nipples provides no benefit to a man it has no ill effect either. Darwin (and others) wondered if at some point in the very distant past the males of a species from which we are descended suckled their young.[/quote] WTF? We've all been women? Also, I've got boobs, but that's because I'm fat :v:

[quote]Sealand claims to be the smallest "country" in the world. It's not even made out of land. The Principality of Sealand is officially a "micronation", which is "an entity that resembles a nation or a state, but which for the most part exists only on paper, on the Internet, or in the mind of its creator". Sealand earns the dubious title of smallest country, with only 550 square meters of area. It's really just an old WWII anti-aircraft platform 7 miles off the English coast. The Principality of Sealand was founded in 1976 when British Army Major Paddy Roy Bates occupied the old platform and formally declared independence. The independent status of Sealand has never been recognized by any other nation, and it has only been consistently inhabited by Bates and his family. Bates and his wife go by Prince Roy and Princess Joan. Despite the small size of Sealand, it has gone through a civil war in 1978. It also once burned down in 2006. Also, BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay once tried to buy Sealand in 2007. [/quote] That's just plain awesome
