Watching Discovery Channel they're showing a programme on rescuing people from snow.....I didn't know that the tracker dogs can smell a human trapped under 4 metres of snow!! Anyone else got any interesting facts? |

Ants An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. A human brain has 10,000 million so a colony of 40,000 ants has collectively the same size brain as a human. |

In the octopus and many cephalopods, the males have a special tentacle with which they insert their spermatophores under the mantle of the female. The tentacle is then retracted for future use. The paper nautilus is cephalopod which, like its cousin, the chambered nautilus, "sails the unshadowed main."* When the male detects a receptive female, he avoids intimacy. It's sex at a distance. His spermatophore-bearing tentacle detaches itself from the body and swims -- under its own power -- to the female, being in effect a swimming penis. |

cephalapods rule.... Cuttlefish are so evolved it's mazing....many people consider cephalapods to one of the intellgent animals... Any BoredsOC fans notice the oblqiue ref to them on Geogaddi (spit..:)... |

Have you ever seen them communicate via their chromataphores? The first time I witnessed it I had a hard time believing it was actually happening.. Are there any other telepathic creatures outside of the cephalopod kingdom? Some other interesting octopi facts : - A giant Pacific octopus can fit its entire body through an opening no bigger than the size of its beak. - The pupil of an octopus' eye is rectangular. - An octopus has the largest food conversion rate for any invertebrate at 80%. For every pound of food it consumes, about half that is gained by the entity. - When under stress, such as in captivity, some octopuses eat their own arms, which regenerate. |

chromataphores are so cool... they are directly linked to the brain so in effect they show internal mental states... Great to see another fan on the boadrd...:)... "A giant Pacific octopus can fit its entire body through an opening no bigger than the size of its beak. ".....seen that, and it's simply wonderful.... we kid ourselves if we consider ourselves advanced....and to think that Cuttlefish tend to end up a fucking budgie food is disgusting....akin to feeding monkeys to your cat....sick shit.... |

dogs specialize in olfaction, as their ability to do so is by far greater than those of humans. they even have the ability to sniff out cancer cells. |

Tomatoes, when stored below 50 degrees, have a chemical 'switch' that turns off and the tomato loses half of it's flavour. So store 'em at room tempature, kiddies! |

a female iguana has to truly SUFFER to make babies. first, the males rape them. then thay have to climb up to a volcanic crater in the middle of their island. the climb is about 1500 meters. the slopes are made of fragile sandstone. once they manage to get to the end they need to fight each other to death in order to lay eggs in the crater. otherwise there'd be no room. reptiles rule. kanske borde vi ha en "vem talar svenska"-thread. |

70% of people pick their nose. 30% of people pick their nose and eat it. |

Is that 30% of the 70% or is it the remaining 30%? |

Gigi: It means that EVERYONE picks their nose. But out of the 100%, 30% of people do. Bizarre, hey? |

Thanks for clearing it up. Indeed. A disturbing yet interesting fact. Apparently the average masturbates twice a day. Well I'm proud to to say that I'm an above average male. I probably shouldn't be proud, but hey! It's a natural thing. |
