    Bulls are colorblind, therefore will usually charge at a matador's waving cape no matter what color it is -- be it red or neon yellow!

    The earth is more dense than the sun or any of the other planets. Saturn has only 12% the density of earth, and the gravity at its surface is 8% less, so a 200 pound man would only weigh 184 on Saturn.

    Mrs. Caroline Squires of Cincinnati filed for a divorce from her husband in 1949 on grounds of desertion. She testified he'd stepped out "for a beer" on the Fourth of July, 1917, and had never come back.

    Frank Zappa: Some Scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is
    so plentiful, is the basic building block of the
    universe....I dispute that....I say there is more
    stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic
    building block of the universe....

    According to many language experts, the most difficult kind of phrase to create is a palindrome, a sentence or group of sentences that reads the same backward and forward. A few examples:
    Red rum, sir, is murder.

    Ma is as selfless as I am.

    Nurse, I spy gypsies. Run!

    A man, a plan, a canal - Panama.

    He lived as a devil, eh?

    In the memoirs of Catherine II of Russia, it is recorded that any Russian aristocrat who displeased the queen was forced to squat in the great antechamber of the palace and to remain in that position for several days, mewing like a cat, clucking like a hen, and pecking his food from the floor.

    The outdoor temperature can be estimated to within several degrees by timing the chirps of a cricket. It is done this way: count the number of chirps in a 15-second period, and add 37 to the total. The result will be very close to the actual Fahrenheit temperature. This formula, however, only works in warm weather.

    An eighteenth-century German named Matthew Birchinger, known as "the little man of Nuremberg," played four musical instruments including the bagpipes, was an expert calligrapher, and was the most famous stage magician of his day. He performed tricks with the cup and balls that have never been explained. Yet Birchinger had no hands, legs, or thighs, and was less than 29 inches tall!

    An average bolt of lightning carries a current of 30,000 to 50,000 Amps, although some bolts can be up to 120,000 A, and transfer a charge of 5 coulombs (enough to light a 100 watt light bulb for 2 months).
