useless trivia

Ok we've gone on about car's for ages.
So let's get some really off beat trivia happening.
Did you know that an Octopus will eat it's own tenticles if it's hungry and can't get any food.
Did you know that Aphids are hermafrodite's(they have both male and female reproductive organs and can mate by themselves)
Did you know that the word that start's with F that nearly every one uses when something goes wrong actually stands for Fornication Under the Consent of the King.It came from medieviel times when you had to ask permission to do the wild thing.When you got permission you nailed a sheet of paper to your door stating that you had consent.
Did you know that over 59% of the worlds population have never made a phone call

Sorry to drag this topic back up but thought this might amuse a few.

Garry Pankhurst( i think that's correct) played Sonny in the television series Skippy.

A top fuel dragster leaving the line at the green , at the exact same time a Honda Moto GP bike at full throttle doing 200 kmph passes that line, accelerating,. . . . the dragster will not only catch the bike , but will easily beat it to the 1320 foot mark.

that . . . . . is acceleration

I had a look on his profile Pete and as of this morning he had made almost 25% of all the posts there. I have decided to take the unprecedented step(for me anyway) of not replying to another one of his posts or contributing to a topic started by him. I can only be tolerant for so long but my patience has now run out.
