Did you know?

Ants make up 1/10 of the total world animal tissue
An ant can survive for up to two days underwater.
The animal with the largest brain in proportion to its size
is the ant.
Ants dont sleep. Thanx teepo (apparently noone can be sure
since they don't have eyelids, they also have no need for
sleep)
Ants taste like sweet tarts. (from experience..)

I think whoever wrote that originally taped an ant to a
sweet tart and ate it, later claiming the ant to be the
object which tasted like a sweet tart. That would be the
most likely explanation.

And since ant facts suck:

Americans on average eat 18 acres of pizza every day.

The gases emitted from a banana or an apple can help an
orange ripen. (Not sure which fruits are concerned).

Adolph Hitler was a vegetarian, and had only 1, and i
repeat, ONE, testicle.

Al Gore and Tommy Lee Jones were once roommates.

Australia is a major exporter of camels

Australia has no native monkeys. (in the wild)

maybe the massive ant collective brain is really our
masters, but we do not realize it.... nah

i accidently at a donut with some ants on it, and they had a
very strong taste, a taste that did not make me want to eat
more ants.... chimps eat ants so i might be wrong

Not all the way through, plus pencil's have graphite in
them, not lead, so even if you sucked on the tip of a
pencil, you wouldn't know what lead tastes like.

you've got some explaining to do and no mistake.

yeah but he said pencil lead so he must mean he was chewing
on a poisonous substance used for writing and drawing in
some third world area (like new york) and that he enjoyed
the taste...

yeah

Did you know? Without Ophecks around to control messageboard
society and strike fear into the hearts of spammers
everywhere, messageboard society collapses into spammy
topics of ''facts''! Simmer down, boys.

Pop star Adam Ant sectioned

Adam Ant is set to headline an 80s nostalgia tour

Former pop idol Adam Ant has been detained under the Mental
Health Act after being arrested for a second time in two
days.
But reports that the singer phoned a newspaper complaining
of a conspiracy and being attacked by police have been
denied.

The Sun newspaper claimed the singer telephoned its newsdesk
ranting he had been "abducted by police again."

It also wrote Adam Ant continued by saying "they've attacked
me again".

But a statement on his official website denied he had been
improperly treated.

On Monday evening police found the 47-year-old singer in the
Camden Town area of north London after calls from the public
regarding concerns for his safety.

He was taken to the nearby Royal Free Hospital and
"sectioned" - legally confined - under the 1983 Mental
Health Act.

The 1980s pop star had already been arrested on Saturday
night after allegedly pulling out a gun in a pub.

'Safety'

The performer, whose real name is Stuart Goddard, was bailed
to appear at Highbury Magistrates Court on Friday.

The singer is currently held at the Royal Free Hospital

After Monday's incident the Metropolitan Police issued this
statement: "Police were called at 7.15pm on Monday regarding
concerns for the safety of a 47-year-old man.

"Police from Camden located him in the Camden Lock area and
took him to the Royal Free Hospital.

"He has been sectioned under the Mental Health Act."

I've got pet Ants....Was going to get some LeafCutter ants
but they are pretty expensive to buy (you have to go thru
the route of talking to the people who supply zoos &
museums..) so just got some from my old back garden...

Not quite as cool but a lot cheaper...

2 nests inside an old indoor garden/vivevarium....There are
of 2 different UK specis so I was kinda expecting one to
knock out the other but they both seem to thriving...

And my other half doesn't seem to mind...

What's wrong with this topic Ophecks?
I found it a mildly amusing start to my day, and perfectly
harmless.
I seem to remember you starting a topic about height and
penis size not long ago!?

Well... this may sound a bit odd, but my Cockateil nibbles
my ear hair while sitting on my shoulder, so... i kind of
thought i might try and teach him to trim my nose hair, you
know, make himself useful...!

Nothing wrong with topics like this, I LOVE craziness like
this. But Aktium was Akting up (get it? YUKYUK) earlier and
spamming the board with dumb topics with ''facts''. So I
killed him.
