Fact #95161371633333333 is also from Dilbert, in case you didn't notice.

Okay, I don't know how many people know this, but I'll try again:

In Raiders of the Lost Arc, Harrison Ford was supposed to have a fight with the swing swords guy, but he was feeling sick and cranky that day so he just shot the guy.

I've heard of that myself.  If you ask me, it was much better this way :).

I believe they are both from either A. Fugitive from the Cubicle Police or B. It's Obvious you Won't Survive by Your Wits Alone.

Heres one, BSE, CJD, and Kuru are all caused by what? (not too obscure I hope)

Just read this:

The largest ant community consists of several thousand colonies linked by tunnels, stretching nearly two hundred miles.

Believe it. :p

Ants are the animal that most resembles humans, too. They have wars, capture slaves (stupid ants :hopping: ), have wars, build empires, and form alliances.

Cool...:)

The anteater does not really eat ants.  Instead, its diet is mainly termites.  So why isn't it called a termiteater?

and for that matter, why is it called the aardvark? IS a tapir also the same thing?

And anyway, the obligatory: a duck's quack does not for some strange reason echo.

Actually, they proved that it did.  Although they found out that a duck's quack sounds an awful lot like its own echo.

Mhmm, weird discussions here.

Weird fact : the first bomb dropped over Berlin by allied forces in WW2 killed the one and only elephant in Berlin's Zoo.
