Sooo i'm very bored right now at work... not doing any work... watching QI on you tube. So i'm going to share some random facts i've learnt :)
Pandas are the only bears who never hibernate.
Pandas have penises that point backwards...
Some bamboo grows up to 4 feet a day... and was used as a form of torture...
Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone. He poached the patent of some random who couldn't afford it and that guy took him to court about it but died before the case was over....
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
It use to be Hullo which was just a word that was about objects like... oh hullo what's this. Thomas Edison invented Hello to mean a greeting of someone. *nods* he didn't invent the lightbulb either!
"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
Interesting!! The things you learn on here that they never taught you in school... once more my schooling has been found to be incorrect.. just like Pluto is no longer a planet... :P thanks for the info!

Did you know that the earth has 5 moons! and the biggest thing on earth is not the blue whale, it's some big mushroom thing that's like.... 3 football field wide or something!

The moons have only been discovered in the past few years *nods*
A kangaroo gets pregnant in two if it's wombs, what happens is that if it has a problem with one of the babies, the other one develops instead... and a male kangaroo has two penises... well it's one, split into two. and i have no idea what the third vagina is for ;P

I always wondered where words come from...
yikes!
