Share something. Tell me a cool trivia fact that I might not know. Link me a funny youtube video. Tell me something about yourself that you really like, that makes you a special and unique person. Take a picture of your pets and post it here.

Share anything that's positive, encouraging, educational or uplifting! It doesn't matter what it is!

I'll start.

Educational Trivia Facts:

The Average human body contains enough carbon to make 900 pencils!
The only stone that floats in water is Pumice.
Beards are the fastest growing hairs on the human body. If the average man never trimmed his beard, it would grow to nearly 30 feet long in his lifetime!
The little lump of flesh just forward of your ear canal, right next to your temple, is called a tragus.
 
The weather is lovely here this morning, and I have a tomato already on one of my plants.
 
I thought there was no pancake mix, and I was all ready to make it from scratch, but then there totally WAS, buried behind a bunch of other shit, and I was like, "Well, good try, brain, but I got instant gratification now, so you're off the hook."

"Thank GOD, here, enjoy some music while you cook. Showtunes. I'm going back to sleep. Flip those on autopilot."

"Awesome."
 
Consider how big our Earth is. Don’t just sit there and nod your head saying “Yeah, it’s pretty big.” I mean look out to the horizon all around you and then think about how really small that vista is compared to what is covering the rest of our planet. That’s awesome, right?

For comparisons sake, wrap your head around this: The Sun is approximately 108 times the size of the Earth. This means the Sun, from a volume standpoint, could hold somewhere around 1.3 million Earths. That’s scary awesome.
 
There's a cute chipmunk with nerves of steel living under my front step. It doesn't scurry away until you get within about 5 feet. It's definitely my favourite of all the creatures that I know of that have lived under my front step so far.
 

Ladies, I really don't get the small labia thing- one of you explain this to me. I understand the aesthetic appeal to pretty much every type of body modification... I really do, and I'm not saying don't trim them if that's what you want to do- it's your body, do whatever the fuck you want- I just don't get it. Were I a chick, I'd want them to be as long as possible, for the piercings, weights, and whatnot- but then again, I'm a sub- but it just seems... odd. Like, it's a weird thing to spend money on. Not having a vagina I have no frame of reference- do they get in the way or something? Does sex feel better if it's smaller? Like- what is the motivation?
 
When the Northern Lights are strong, you can hear them crackling like cellophane.
 
I have proposed that the words "purse" and "pocketbook" be replaced in popular usage with the word "chicksack."
 
Each gallon of fuel burned weighing 6 pounds, produces 20 pounds of carbon dioxide???? say it ain't so Joe!!!




It seems impossible that a gallon of gasoline, which weighs about 6.3 pounds, could produce 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. However, most of the weight of the CO2 doesn't come from the gasoline itself, but the oxygen in the air.

When gasoline burns, the carbon and hydrogen separate. The hydrogen combines with oxygen to form water (H2O), and carbon combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide (CO2).

CO2 molecule with one carbon atom (atomic weight 12) and two oxygen atoms (atomic weight of 16 each)A carbon atom has a weight of 12, and each oxygen atom has a weight of 16, giving each single molecule of CO2 an atomic weight of 44 (12 from carbon and 32 from oxygen).

Therefore, to calculate the amount of CO2 produced from a gallon of gasoline, the weight of the carbon in the gasoline is multiplied by 44/12 or 3.7.

Since gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen by weight, the carbon in a gallon of gasoline weighs 5.5 pounds (6.3 lbs. x .87).

We can then multiply the weight of the carbon (5.5 pounds) by 3.7, which equals 20 pounds of CO2!

Try this:
Stand with your back and legs against a wall. Have someone place a small object 6" in front of your toes. Now without stepping forward or moving your lower body, bend over and pick up the object.

If you're male, you aren't going to be able to pick it up without falling forward. If you're female, you can retrieve the object without moving your feet.

Why? Simple, the male body has a higher center of gravity then the female body.

There are exceptions to this (as there are to almost any rule) but by in large it holds true.

There is some true World Class Pho found west of Crenshaw. The Mid-Town rags wont tell you about them. They won't at the trucks, neither. Still... It's where they lit. And it's nice! They twitter and shit!
