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.

Wikipedia does not say explicitely if Bonobos do have sex for pleasure, but it confirms me about the hypersexuality of Bonobos; and if you read this article about Bonobos (the sexual social behavior part) and this article about animal sexual behaviour (you may want to read sex for pleasure and notes on specific species(Bonobos are first listed)), I'm sure you will agree with me.

As contribution to the thread, I'll quote from the Wikipedia Bonobo article:

Bonobos are the only non-human animal to have been observed engaging in all of the following sexual activities: face-to-face genital sex, tongue kissing, and oral sex
