Well, many of my topics have been deleted, whether it's becasue the name was too long, or too many bold lettering or exclamation marks, so ive decided to make a new topic that will hopfully not be deleted. and its a game.

just post some interesting facts, then the next person rates it out of 5.

Example:
iFish:fish can fly! (thats not true, obviously)
Nqkoi1(hope you dont mind that i used your name): Not adequate enough! 2/5 for the ineresting part.

so i'll go first, and i'll post a couple, jsut cuz i started this thing

-crockroachs have teeth in their stomach
-a crockroach was taken to space and given birth there, it has greater speed and strength than a normal crockroach and scientists still don't know why (i hope it doesnt reproduce)

now the next person rates these REAL facts, and they find their own REAL facts that are interesting, and the next person rates it etc.

To add to Hyper:
The size relation between human and bacteria is about the same as earth to human. Also, in our body, there are about ten bacteria for each of your own cell. So it's like we're all just small bacteria planets XD

There is an approximative of 600 small tiny arachnids wandering on your body as you read this.

According to Wikipedia, 10 Million people in the world are US-dollar millionaires. However, inflation is one of the major reasons for this.

Well the other 7 million people in Japan and China, they use the Yen which worth about 1-3 cents, therefor in America you would only be a 'hundred-thousandair' ( I know I spelled it wrong) and that's not very impressive.
