Woolies have a fetish for wool clothing.



I'd imagine this is one of the itchier fetishes.

     It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up its stomach first, so that the stomach dangles from its mouth. Then, the frog uses its forearms to scrape out the stomach contents, then re-swallows the stomach.

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Sea spiders, also called Pantopoda or pycnogonids will often insert their proboscis, a long appendage used for digestion and sucking food into its gut, into a sea anemone and suck out nourishment. The sea anemone, large in comparison to its predator, almost always survives this ordeal.

The Norwegian butter crisis began in late 2011 with an acute shortage of butter (Norwegian: smør) and inflation of its prices across markets in Norway. Due to the acute shortage, prices have soared and stores' stocks of butter have run out within minutes of fresh deliveries arriving. According to the Danish tabloid B.T., Norway has been gripped by a "smør-panik" as a result of the lack of butter

Neil Armstrong was first to walk on the moon because of the layout of the lunar module. NASA's established practice on the Gemini missions was for the junior crewman to perform the extravehicular activities. On Apollo 11, it was expected early on that Buzz Aldrin would exit first, followed by Armstrong, the commander. However, the hatch of the LM opened inward, toward the lunar module pilot (Aldrin). With the LM interior as cramped as it was, it just made more sense for the commander to exit first.

NASA believes human conception may be impossible in a zero gravity environment. (Can't you just hear the pick-up lines that could generate someday on deep space voyages....)

 Newton's second law is not valid for variable-mass systems, such as rockets.

Buzz Aldrin was the first human being to perform a religious ceremony on another celestial body, taking communion shortly after landing on the moon. As he did the cup and biscuit, he invited people on Earth to give thanks in their own way. A Presbyterian church in Houston (where Buzz attended at the time) has the cup, and celebrates a special communion every year on the Sunday closest to July 20.

On a lighter note, Buzz was also the first human being to pee on another celestial body. Not directly on it, of course, but while standing on it. Take that, Neil Armstrong. TeddyR

Although the orbit of the Moon seems stable it's actually drifting away from earth at a rate of about 4 centimeters a year.  In about 50 billion years from now, the Moon will stop moving away from us. It will settle into a stable orbit, taking about 47 days to go around the Earth (it takes 27.3 days today). At that point, the Earth and the Moon will be tidally locked to each other. It will look like the Moon is always in the same spot in the sky.

Of course, the Sun is expected to consume the Earth in about 5 billion years, so this event may not happen.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
