Some of those are scary!
Particularly #12, I mean, how ? And I would question #2. He may have had an operation at some point in his life during which his belly button was removed, but he must have started off life with one (unless we are to assume that he free-floated in the womb using the umbilical when he needed it, like an aqualung). Traditionally it's said that the only person who may not have had a belly button was Adam (think about it), which is why in all biblical paintings featuring him, that portion of his midriff is always obscured (My pointless piece of trivia for the day). Lemmy, Bowie, Prince, Leonard. RIP. | |

i don't believe #18 to be true...chameleons can see behind themselves as well + each eye can operate completely independant of the other one...how cool is that. so not only can they look behind themselves without turning their head but they can watch out for whatever is coming in front of them at the same time!!!
ok...full of useless information. i need to get out more!! you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel
Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants. | |
