    I have a 56 minute conversation with my friend about whether the pizza should be called Ham and pineapple or Hawaiin...we ended up arguing whether or not the chaos theory should be used in hypothetical situations. If that aint useless, then i dont know what is.

    Lake Balaton is the largest lake in Hungary and is like a sea to them.

    Lago Maggiore is the Largest lake in Italy. It's so long, that it goes into Swizerland as well.

    Lake Geneva is the largest lake in Swizerland. It's one of the biggest lakes in Europe.

    The Netherlands have no mountains or hills, just plains.

    Three Romanian Journalists are beeing held hostages in Iraq.

    Buggo, I remember that :)

    Fact: Most people (normal people) cannot swallow with their mouth open wide.

    Stupidity: Makatikanamalla is not a word in the English Dictionary, in case you were wondering...

    In Verbania, Italy you've got palm trees and you can see the snowy alps above. I think this applies to the northern parts of India as well.

    Hey, Lantus, off topic, wtf is happening to the Roleplay Corner?

    Kelvon, you probably should have PM'd me about that, but my answer is:

    With the great Lantus away from the Corner, things are dying :p

    It takes 144 BTUs to change H2O into Steam.

    Penguins have an organ above their eyes that convert saltwater into freshwater.

    Beavers can only hold their breathe for 45 minutes.

    If you purified all of the worlds (known) gold, melted it down and formed it into a cube it would only be 50 cubic meters.

    The average person spends about one week of their total life kissing.

    Hair is dead.

    It is impossible to create a perfect vacuum.

    Spider silk has more tensile strength than steel.

    Small cats (like the domesticated ones) have a different throat structure than the large cats, making it impossible for them to roar.

    Agnosticism it the learning that the existance of supernatural powers, such as God, or anything that lies beyond the personal experience is not certain.

    The rhino's horn is tightly packed hair.

    And said book also has a pig named Napoleon.

    The reason why bbread falls down the buttered side down is because it does not have enough time to turn around completely.

    Murphy's law...? :)

    If so, the way to prove that wrong is to eat your bread, and thus drop you bread, form a higher height so it has longer to fall and turn. :)

    Yes, IIRC spider silk's tensile strength is three times that of steel. Saw that on the discovery channel :grin:

    @ Xei Win Toh- thats right, its called keratin which is what makes human hair, human nails and rhino horns. I already said that :p (with the correction of el timtor) no worries, its not like everyone would want to read through ALL of this useless info :rolleyes:

    It's less depressing than 1984 at least. It's supposed to represent the power struggle that went on between Stalin and someone else iirc.
