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.

In July 1981, a tortoise was sentenced to death for murder. Tribal leaders in an eastern Kenyan village formally condemned the tortoise because they suspected it of causing the deaths of six people by magic. However, because none of the villagers was prepared to face the tortoise's wrath by carrying out the execution, it was chained to a tree instead. The tortoise was later freed after the government promised an inquiry into the six deaths.

The concept of a "Wake" arose when people began to run out of places to bury their dead and therefore decided to excavate old graves. They found that, upon opening old caskets, there were claw marks on the insides of many of the caskets, showing the people were buried alive. A wake was to give the person a chance to... wake up!

Morbid.

I know a mass revival of threads can be bothersome...but I think this might be worth kicking up to see where it goes.

In the course of an average lifetime, a human ingests approximately a pound of fecal matter.

That's right, y'all eat poop at some point in time!

The longest word is now the technical name for titin, a protean. It has 189,819 letters making it over 1037 times as long as Ubertuna's suggestion. It is Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl...isoleucine (the ... is because it would be too BLAM! long otherwise).
