Hah! My bedside lamp's had a blown bulb for about six months. Stupid supermarket won't stock it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, okay. You can probably hit me up on anoth dozen or so accounts... I wonder if there's extra penalty for using psychadelic coloured bulbs?

LoL. Well, we'll let you off this one time. . .

*lews sidles up to HandE*

" I got the stuff, you got the money? "

"Yeah. "

* Lews slips HandE a bulb while HandE gives Lews a dog treat*

Lews sidles away, crunching his teeth on the treat,

and back on topic
-Egypt: A man named Bahgat Mostafa Said died in his apartment with no cause. 18 cats (that were not his) came and surrounded his body. A week later, after a bad smell had disturbed neighbours, police investigated the apartment. They found the body and tried to move it, but the cats attacked. It took 2 hours to remove the cats and move the body.

Cookie... Biscuit... It's all the same.

Hell yes, but that's not the point. It makes it bloody hard to read by lava lamp.

Lava lamp eh?

What's a peeping Tom?



LOL!

A peeping tom is a bloke who spys in windows looking at women, usually undressing!

Is the female version a peeping jane? Maybe peeping jeri, get it? Groan... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

Facts:

25% of cat owners blow dry the cat's hair after giving it a bath.

A fall of 30 feet can be survived my most cats.

In 1888, an Egyptian peasant discovered an estimated three hundred thousand mummified cats in Beni Hassan, Egypt. Of the cats that were not stolen once, the find was made public, the remaining mummified cats were shipped to Great Britain to be used as agricultural fertilizer.

In the 1800's cats were used to deliver mail. In 1879, in Belgium 37 cats were used to deliver mail to villages, however they found that the cats were not disciplined enough to do this. (is that how the Divinity fanpack is delivered?)

Karl VII had a dog called Brunte...

When falling from height, after a while you come to the height when height doesn't matter anymore (there is really no difference from falling 1000 meters compared to falling 4000 meters at the same spot).

Says the man falling from a high rise building, when passing the 2nd floor "So far, so good." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Sounds almost like real life Pollyanna to me.

-Finches practice song in their sleep

Hmm correct ... it is not the falling thats the problem, it is the "stop falling" that does it every time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

It does make a difference when it's a blonde that is falling down, because they got lost! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Interesting but don't try this at home! A human eyeball weighs an ounce.

Besides, falling doesn't actually hurt you. It's whatever you hit that's the culprit.

An ant can lift 50 times its own weight and pull 30 times its own weight.

Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

A cockroach will live 9 days without its head before it starves to death.

50? isn't that a bit too mutch?
i thought it was more like 7 times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Does it really matter? After all, it's "the useless but interesting/funny facts" tread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

No wonder, as they carry small cash (metal coins) in their trouser's pockets - the consequence probably is that:

Men are 6 x more likely to be struck by lightning than women, but women's handbags are 10 x more likely to be struck than men <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

It's all relative, if an ant was our size, it wouldn't be able to lift its own body weight. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/freak.gif" alt="" />
