I talked to a bunch of guys at work and my father. This includes a great many hunters and people who raise animals for pets and meat.
Not a single one of them knew that most mammals have bones in their dicks.
Now they do.

And now they are all wondering why Doodlebug had a sudden burst of interest in mammal penis related subjects.
More Did-You-Knows:
-Brazil didn't go to war for its independence; they compensated Portugal for the estimated amount of lost profit caused by the act, and ended the matter in a very polite manner.
-Also, after the US Civil War, a large amount of slave holders left the US and relocated to Brazil, which had one of the largest slave populations in the world and was also among the last countries to forbid it.
-During the mid XIX century, a french man by the name Orelie Antoine de Tounens managed to convince the indigenous population of southern Chile to declare him as "King of Araucania and Patagonia". He requested the local French embassy to assist him, but was turned down, and the Chilean government just laughed the issue away. Sometime later, Antoine managed to get a ship filled with weaponry, equipment and would-be patagonian nobles in Europe and sailed towards the fjords of southern Chile, where he intended to set up his domain. He was instead confronted by a Chilean warship and forced to dessist. On his way back, perhaps out of pure frustration, he and his court took over a group of rocks that fell under Bristish control and even planted a flag. In a characteristically English manner, the country accepted is as an act of formal war and, although it was soon over, became the first and only sovereign nation to recognize the Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia. Since then, the title has been passed down to King Gustave-Achille (who even tried to get the US involved), King Antoine II, then King Antoine III, and then to the current holder, Crown-Prince Phillippe, who has been titular since 1950. Nowadays, Crown-Prince Phillippe still claims ownership to the throne, and regularly visits his "subjects", acting as a promoter of native rights in the country and abroad.

The Amazon rainforest produces half the world's oxygen supply.Since 70%-80% is produced by marine organisms, your "fact" cannot possibly be correct. Unless you meant "half the oxygen supply generated on land." (Don't forget that the taiga running about 60 deg. N latitude generates a lot as well, although less than the tropical forests because of seasonal dormancy.)
Meh. I just cut and paste from a website. Is it factual? F%@~ed if I know. Don't really give a crap either. If it bugs you, oh well.
Did you know that Iron Heroes is now owned by Fiery Dragon and has since 2007? I sure didn't until yesterday.

There are at present two doubly-landlocked, that is landlocked countries surrounded entirely by other landlocked countries, in the world.
The first is Liechtenstein. It became doubly-landlocked upon the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and ceased to be so in 1938 due to the Anschluss. It became doubly-landlocked again thereafter.
Uzbekistan is the second, which became one in 1991 upon ceasing to be part of the Soviet Union.

Monopoly is the most played board game in the world.
The phrase "Sleep thight and don't let the bed bugs bite" originated when bed frames consisted of ropes strung between the frame with blankets or quilts draped overtop to function as the mattress.
"Sleep tight" meant that the ropes would remain taut to prevent the sleeper from sagging uncomfortably during the night.
The "bed bugs bite" wasn't referring to bed bugs as we know them now, but that in the course of tossing and turning, the sleeper would not be pinched by the rope webbing beneath their blanket/quilt.

A group of geese is called a gaggle.
On the ground they are a gaggle. When flying they are a Skien (unsure of spelling).
I use this as a joke with gay men. "a gaggle of gays, unless they're flying then it's a skien."
Dude that is just mean.Meh. I just cut and paste from a website. Is it factual? F!@~ed if I know. Don't really give a crap either. If it bugs you, oh well.I didn't know you worked for Fox News!
Though shockingly close to home.

Maybe (?) I have a dirty mind, but that reminds me of an article I read about doing time in some Massachusetts prison. The article mentioned that the two most popular items at the commissary were Hostess cupcakes and hand lotion. Hmmm.

......and hand lotion. Hmmm."It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again."
Do you know WHY he takes their skin?
"We've already extablished what you are, madam. Now we're just haggling over price."And ChurchillWoah, woah, woah.
What didn't Churchill say?
Back to Churchill:
Which, if any, of these did he not say:
"Don't speak to me of naval tradition. It is nothing but rum, the lash and sodomy."
"My dear lady, without familiarity you can't breed anything."
and, for the Stuffy Grammarian
"That is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."
