It's me again Margaret.
No sleep again tonight, I'm beginning to wonder...

I want a Tasmanian Tiger-wolf....

When a female horse and a male donkey mate, the offspring is called a mule, but when a male horse and a female donkey mate, the offspring is called a hinny. When a male zebra and a female donkey mate the offspring is called a 'zedonk' or 'zebrass'. All of these resulting offspring are sterile...I wonder what sycophantic phenom found that out... Human curiosity ...

A zedonk

The speed of light was broken by two physicists, Gunter Nimtz and Alfons Stahlhofen, in Germany from the University of Koblenz. This seriously questions Einstein's theory that no object or information can move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. An example of what could happen with this is time travel, but not like you imagine: If you went for a car trip faster than the speed of light, you'd arrive at your destination before you'd even leave, theoretically, of course. As Dr Guenter Nimtz said: "The effect cannot be used to go back in time, only to reduce the time between cause and effect a little bit." Interesting shtuff.

But wait... there's more! (Damn, I'm so bored)

If you spell-out all the numbers (one. two. three.....etc.) to find when the letter "A" first appears, you'd have to count to a thousAnd. Did you know that: 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 Weird huh?

This next one will probably make most girls go insane, dont read if you're a chocoholic.
The average chocolate bar in the U.S. contains at least 8 pieces of an insect in it. Harvesting of the cacao beans occurs in the tropical countries of South America with low sanitation levels. Cacao tree beans are cut and piled in the farmer's field where they ferment for 6 days. During this process, children and adults walk over the piles; insects, rodents, small animals and other living things make their nests in these piles. Actually the The U. S. Department of Health published a book entitled "The Food Defect Action Levels" in which they list unavoidable defects in food (insect, rodents etc.) all allowed by FDA. Sorry ladies.

This should make you smile after that crushing news... or cringe.
The word "testis" comes from the Latin meaning to bear witness. In ancient Rome, only men could bear witness or testify in a public forum. In order to show importance to their testimony, they would hold their testicles as they spoke, and an oath was declared while holding another man's testicles. Wonder if they would laugh at us for using the Holy Bible in the court of law, despite church and state 'being' separate.

I don't know if this next one is true or not... but who's to say all the others have been?
In ancient Japan, public contests were held to see who in a town could fart the loudest and longest. Winners were awarded many prizes and received great recognition. My mom could beat them. All of them.
