      Dalmatians are more aggressive towards humans than Pit Bulls.

      I wonder if people would think that coke made a different product if they just sold it while its green? I'm sure a bunch of people would actually think it's something new.

        yeah a duck's quack does echo. It echos the exact way it leaves the duck's mouth which hides the echo.

          A zebra is actually black with white stripes. If you shaved one it would be entirely black.

          Chewing celery burns more calories than there are in celery.

          A dragonfly has a life span of 24 hours.

          If you are an average American, in your whole life, you will spend an average of 6 months waiting at red lights.

                I think a lot of that has to do with it being too cold to snow.

                    Not cold so much as dry. The air near the poles is extremely dry and you can't have precipitation without moisture.

                          35 states have a Springfield or a close cousin; but the following states are Springfield-deficient:

                          Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota*, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.

                          *North Dakota does have a Springfield Township, but it's mostly an empty spot on the map.

                            Well, that's a chicken and egg situation, isn't it? The air is drier because it's colder.
