    I totally agree with you guys about

    the goldfish. Is it a male or female? Females' have longer memory time when it comes to shopping, the soap operas, etc., whereas the males' have longer memory time when seeing that beautiful new girl next door in the thong swim suit...

      Okay, I'll admit that I don't know a lot about fish, but how do you tell a male goldfish from a female goldfish?

        From the time I started reading this.....

        Until I got to the last page 2 more pages of useless facts were added.

        My contribution, the landing gear of the F-18 was based on the legs of the common grasshopper. Apparently the did some studies and found that the mechanical motion of the grass hopper was easier on jets landing?

          700+ rooms in The Château de Versailles, (Palace at Versailles in France).

          The problem was there were no bathrooms.

          When the remodel was done for the place to be turned into a museum, I was told by an old guy who worked there that it took 12 weeks to clen out the stair wells.

            If you were more than 56 years old on 2-Aug you were born before the last Civil War Veteran died.

                  Why is seven considered a lucky number?

                  It really seems quite loony that the power to bring good luck
                  should be ascribed to any mere number. In fact, loonyness--
                  the four parts of the lunar cycle, to be specific--is actually
                  at the root of this number's supposedly magical powers. The
                  phases of the moon are each about seven days long. So the
                  number seven seemed to be embedded in the natural order of
                  things, and somehow related to the heavenly body that has
                  often been observed to powerfully affect the course of human
                  events.

                  The rainbow has seven colors. But when it comes
                  down to it, what counts the most is that the week has seven
                  days, and the seventh day of the week is also something really
                  special.

                    "Lunatic" comes from the Latin for "touched by the moon" or "moonstruck."

                        The Indonesian coffee Kopi Luwak is the most expensive and sells for $75 per 1/4 pound. Nobody tell Starbuck's or they'll raise their prices again. The reason its so expensive is the way it is processed. Its beans are ingested by a small animal called a Paradoxurus. The beans are then extracted form the excreta and made into Kopi Luwak.
