An eagle can kill a young deer and fly away with it.

Or you know, your cat.


Lungfish can go up to four years without food.


Starting from 1945,radiations only created survivors.

There are some people in the Ukraine who might disagree with you.

During the initial crisis, the radiation was so bad that the Soviet flag on top of the main building was a ragged mess after only a couple weeks. Workers were sent up to replace it, because flags are proud symbols and should look pristine, none of them survived for very long either.


I knew, i was just quoting an italian comic book "Rat-Man" by Leonardo Ortolani.
It is a parody of the superhero genre.

Yeah, yeah. Someone else already beat you to the punch. Like I said - I don't make the s&*+ up. I just cut and paste it.


The Americas were not discovered by Columbias
Julius Ceaser's last word were not Et tu Brute? (You to Brutus?) He cowered in the corner as he bled out.
Hercules should be spelled Herakles when refering to him in greek myths.

After coming back from his famous journey, Columbus told someone on the ship about what he saw. The man drew maps for Columbus. The man's name was Amerigo, and the Americas were named after him.

But can you really discover a place where someone already lives?

Stewardesses is the longest word that is typed with only the left hand.

It is believed that Shakespeare was 46 around the time that the King James Version of the Bible was written. In Psalms 46, the 46th word from the first word is shake and the 46th word from the last word is spear.

Liberty's Edge

Typewriter is the longest word that can be written using only the top row of letters on a QWERTY keyboard.

Honey is the only natural food which never goes off.

Spoiler:
I'm guessing this means it never goes bad, which is kind of cool. No wonder it helps make a good alcoholic beverage

You would be correct in that assumption. Unless it gets contaminated by something, it can stay edible without harmful side-effects for years.

I believe Daitarn 3 is the largest Super Robot ever created.
Don't know if it qualifies for the term "super robot" or "giant mech" but the humanoid shape of the first SDF-1 (Choji Sora Yousai Macross) is more than 1 mile tall.

I thought the original configuration of the SDF-1 was only 3/4 mile long, and when "standing" it would probably only gain a few hundred feet... the "leg" sections extend, but the booms of the main gun actually slide down and back...

Not quite...


The word "person" is etymologically derived from phersu, the Etruscan word for mask.

There were Buddhist monks in Athens centuries before there were any in China.

The Roman Emporers were fairly upset with trade with China.

The only continent with no active volcanoes is Australia.

They have, in fact, found honey in some of the old Egyptian tombs (can't remember if it was in one of the pyramids, though).

Dogfish Head's Ta Henket Ancient Ale is brewed with wild yeast they captured in Egypt and cultivated.


All modern human groups, except Africans, carry a minimum 1-4% of Neanderthal DNA.

Alexander the great was embalmed in honey.

The worldwide box office receipts of Andrew Lloyd Webber's stage musical The Phantom of the Opera exceed $5.1 billion, far dwarfing the film successes of Titanic or Avatar.

The longest street in the world is Yonge street in Toronto Canada measuring 1,896 km (1,178 miles).

Hey now, come on. Let's leave mention of douchebags like that for other, more troll-oriented threads. If you do, I promise that in the coming zombiepocalypse we'll eat you last.

Trolls are hurt by acid and fire.

You need to shoot zombies in the head or remove their head to kill them.

zombiepocalypse is just a marketing ploy by living impaired to try and show strength in their cause and make us fear them.

Archaeologist T.M. Davies discovered 3,300-year-old jar of honey in an Egyptian tomb. To his amazement, the honey was in remarkably good condition.

Not Quite. Though fairly close, give or take 300 years.

Thank you, it's very kind of you to say so.


Honestly how many zombies are there really out there? Huh?

300 at tops?

Did you know Horseshow crabs are one of the creatures and have changed very little since they first roamed the year and many consider them living fossils.

Scotch is by many considered the nectar of the gods.

I like roast beef.


I like roast beef, too.

I have a Chinese "historical" movie that tells me Zombies are the pupa stage of Vampires. If they eat enough brains they transform into vampires. If this is true, when you become a Abervampire, will you be a sparkly one Aberzombie?

If I did, I'd probably stake myself.


I know what you mean. I think about staking myself all the time...


I think we will all take that as a yes then.

So when you become a vampire "sparkly one" do you get all agnsty and teenager like and even if 300 years pass do you stay that way and remain whiny too? Or is that all a phase?
