The Super Chicken Theme Lyrics
When you find yourself in danger,
When you're threatened by a stranger,
When it looks like you will take a lickin', (cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck)
There is someone waiting who
Will hurry up and rescue you,
Just call...for Super Chicken! (cluck, awk!)

Fred, if you're afraid, you'll have to overlook it,
Besides, you knew the job was dangerous when you took it! (cluck, awk!)

He will drink his super sauce
And throw the bad guys for a loss
And he will bring them in, alive and kickin' (cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck)
There is one thing you should learn
When there is no one else to turn to
Call...for Super Chicken! (cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck)
Call...for Super Chicken! (cluck, awk!)
 
Another trivia bit.

There are 6 eye muscles that control eye movement, 4 of them control the direction of the eye up, down, left and right and the other two muscles control adjustments.

So, if my math is right, that means that it takes 4 muscles to roll your eye, 8 to roll both of them.

:rolleyes:

:D :p
 
Some interesting facts about cunnilingus that I recently discovered (I love my job :D).

~ In ancient Rome, fellatio was considered to be degrading, especially if it was performed between two men: the giver was thought to be less of a man and showing his inferiority to the receiver. However, cunnilingus, performed by either men or women, was a sign of utmost respect.

~ In Taoism, oral sex was revered as it was thought to increase longevity. Loss of semen or vaginal fluids was thought to lead to a decrease of vitality. By ingesting said fluid of the opposite gender, you would increase your vitality and completing your chi, that is, your original life breath.

~ Face-sitting, or smothering, was a popular 'choice' for customers in various Roman brothels. A prostitute specialising in queening would be able to make quite a bit of money by allowing her patron to be sat upon.

~ Face-sitting is actually a very common practice, and smother-boxes dating 200 years were found.

~ Some cultures believe that by having an orgasm through oral sex would better prepare the woman to receive her partner's sperm, thus enabling an easier conception. Others believe that through the male's ingestion of the vaginal fluids, he would be fully involved in the baby-making process (side note: up to the late Renaissance, early Enlightenment, it was believed in Europe and Middle East, that a woman's orgasm was absolutely necessary in order to conceive at all. It was believed that through orgasm, her womb would be fully open).
 
The incompatibility of galvanized metal substrates and alkyd paint causes a phenomenon called saponification. A thin layer of a soap like material forms between the substrate and the coating and make proper adhesion of the paint impossible. The coating will dry, but at the first serious temperature change, the metal will change its shape laterally, and the paint will not be able to keep up since it is not properly bonded to the metal. The paint typically falls off in sheets.

Take a look at your door or at those of your neighbors, especially if the door receives the evening sun/faces west. If there is failing paint, it is usually because an unwitting homeowner failed to prepare and prime the galvanized steel door properly and did a rush job of painting with an oil based house paint.

Now go make fun of him with your new found knowledge.

Extract from the book I'm currently reading "Babi Yar".

"Investigations have established that 68,000 [Russian soldiers] perished in Darnitsa. There were similar camps in in Kiev and in other places. The Germans did not treat the prisoners of any other country in such an inhuman manner...

...[Even more astonishing was the fate of the Soviet prisoners after Germany's defeat. On Stalin's orders all those who had not died in German camps were arrested and sent to Siberia. Out of the German concentration camps and into the Soviet ones.]
 
Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them.


By raising your legs slowly and laying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand.


From the age of thirty, humans gradually begin to shrink in size.

Shhhh.... my math is impeccable. :D

And always my pleasure. Some more:

~ In some cultures, oral sex was (and is) considered to be more intimate than actual intercourse.

~ Some people believed that your eye colour has different meanings:

Blue eyes may indicate a person that is forceful and direct; has an enormous energy, and a gift for insight and observation.

Green eyes can indicate a compassionate person that’s full of energy, and has enormous creativity as well as the gift of healing.

Gray eyes may indicate a sensitive and restrained person who is attuned to the unseen and whose ability puts them several steps ahead of the crowd.

Brown eyes may indicate a strong and independent person.

Hazel is a combination of the compassion and healing qualities of green, the fluidity and sensitivity of gray, the inner strength and independence of brown, and the intense vitality of blue. Hazel eyes indicate a person who can represent all of these qualities.

Black eyes may indicate a clever, sensual, and secretive person

Violet eyes can indicate a noble and refined person who is both a natural leader and seeker of spiritual truth.
