To know when to mate, a male giraffe will continuously headbutt the female in the bladder until she urinates. The male then tastes the pee and that helps it determine whether the female is ovulating. |

If you scaled down the solar system using a football as earth and a tennis ball as the moon..
Place them about 12ft apart for scale... What and where would you place for the sun!.
The answer is something about the size of a house somewhere in Barcelona!.
And you thought that 12ft trip to the moon was a giant leap for mankind!!  |

"Medieval kings like Henry 8th had a royal butt wiper know as the groom of the stool."
It was common for royalty in the middle ages to have their arse wiped with swan or duck's necks.
I've looked in to this. I've not been able to ascertain if the animals were killed beforehand (can't imagine using a live goose?) or immediately prior to having a shit (festering swans necks, mmmm, lovely... vs. "I'm going for a dump, can you just slaughter a few swans?")
Anyway you look at it it presents practical problems but it's well attested, back to Roman times. |

"There are more possible moves to an outcome in a game of chess than there are atoms in the known universe.
"
I'm amazed. This checks out.
Let us try a quick back-of-envelope estimation:
The number of chess games possible might be around 50 moves a side times 20 options per move, making 20^100 different games.
The number of atoms in the observable universe might be around 10^25 per kilogram times 2 * 10^30 kg per solar system times 10^14 stars per galaxy times 10^14 galaxies in the observable universe.
Comparing the very large numbers, 10^83 is clearly less than 20^100, so the conjecture is probably true. |

"Walt Disney was frightened of mice "
Walt Disney:
* banned anyone who worked for him from having a mustache
* Contrary to popular myth, Walt Disney WAS NOT cryogenically frozen when he died
* In 1936 a short pornographic version of Mickey & Minnie mouse cartoon was made for Disney's 35th b'day. He feigned laughter, left the building and then fired the two animators responsible. |

Kestrels, unlike the humming bird, don't 'actually' hover. They use wind blowing into them which creates the appearance of hovering as they can't generate enough lift, due to their weight and wing speed, to keep them in the same place.
They're no good at hoovering either.

Polar Bears are black and their fur is not white! Their fur is translucent and looks white because the light it is carrying down to deep in the skin to warm the Bear bounces off the insides of the hairs in the same way as it does off fibre optics when they are bent.

Bononos fuck anybody anytime. Worse than swingers even, coz it doesn't matter if they're male or female or even their mother, father, brothers or anyone. They use it as a way of saying thanks.
I'd like to be reincarnated as a bonono.

"Duck penises are shaped like a corkscrew"
And female ducks have multi-channeled vaginas and they can open and close different parts so the male only goes where she wants him to, and so she controls whether or not he is successful in fertilising her. Useful, because duck rape happens a lot.

Bookkeeper isn't just the only occupation, it's the only word like that in the English language, btw there's only one word that has 3 dotted letters in a row (I and or J) can you guess what it is? There are some places that conform but there is only one word. Clue it's not easy. |

The myth is that if less than six raven remain at the tower the monarchy and London will fall.
Raven can also mimic voices and noise in much the same way as African Grey parrot. |

The character 'Opie Winston' from Sons of Anarchy is from a cow called Opie and a dog called Winston.
Both mentioned in the book Bloody Justice about an MC massacre at Shedden, Canada. The animals were owned by a couple whose land the victims were found on.
Also where St Thomas hospital, in the fictional town of Charming, gets its name.

He didn't invent it. He made his money from inventing if that's the right word, the giant metal baskets that were then filled with rocks to protect military bases.
Camp Bastion was named after his company Hesco Bastion. He bought Segway as it was in financial difficulties... |

"Water Displacement we think. 40 is the grade or thickness of the oil or something? "
They tried 40 different " recipes" for a Water Displacement mixture; number 40 worked best,
So it was " Water Displacement, Formula 40" = WD40
