...Carnivorous animals will not eat another animal that has been hit by a lightning strike?

...it takes 3000 cows to supply the NFL with a years worth of footballs?

...if Brooklyn became independent of New York City, it would be the third largest city in the U.S. right after L.A. and NY?

Anyone else have any strange facts?

They can, they just do it when no one's looking.

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later they were both eaten by a killer whale.

Did you know that dogs and bees can smell fear?

Did you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?

That David Bowie was once married to Slash from G'N'F'R's Mum. And that Slash was born in Stoke On Trent, U.K.

QuoteThat David Bowie was once married to Slash from G'N'F'R's Mum. And that Slash was born in Stoke On Trent, U.K.

Is that for real?  What?  (Not about Stoke on Trent.)

Guilty confession - I have a HUGE thing for Slash.  Quiiiiite enoy the Slash styles.  Even that stupid top hat.  

Anyhow, how many times has David Bowie been married, then?  I now want to see what Slash's Mom looks like.

Slash is a fucking dude. That man oozes Rock n Roll.
Makes me want to drink Jack & buy a Les Paul (I'm halfway there ;))

Okaaayyyy.

So, I just google imaged Slash because I felt like looking at him, and I can't believe what I found.

Miles's (Paul Giamatti's character in the movie Sideways) hatred for Merlot caused sales of the previously popular red wine to drop considerably after the film's release.

Haha.  

I remember seeing Slash's clothes at the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame and thinking, 'Damn, he's tiny.'  Actually, I thought that about most of the clothes (Bowie, Mick Jagger, Madonna, etc).  Larger than life characters, but oh so small..

Off topic I know but thought I'd share, I met Steven Adler on Friday, the guy is fucked, worse than Ozzy! super nice but fucked, he had to drink two (big) bottles of Jaegermeister before going on stage just to stop the shakes, the next night he was supposed to sit in with a guns tribute act but missed most of the set cause it took 3 men 2 hours to rouse him from an afternoon booze coma. Legend.
