"Dolphins like to get high on pufferfish neurotoxins. When in group, they attack a pufferfish, then "pass it around" like some kind of undersea joint."
 i hope that's true |

If you swim with a friend you are 50% less likely to be eaten by a shark  "
They will also only attack you when wet |

Not strictly true! I saw a video once of a guy on a boat deck who had caught a little basking shark in its net. The shark tried to bite him on the deck before they threw it back |

I bet the shark was still wet though, or at least slightly damp  |

At least 1 forumite has googled some of the facts to check if they are indeed true (other search engines are available) |

Indeed. Being a non-native English speaker, I do it a lot to check my spelling/grammar. And to appear smarter quoting things I did not read. |

Basking sharks dont have teeth, they eat plankton. |

A sad factoid now: The Blobfish was first discovered in 2003 and is the present mascot for the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.
Tragically, there are only an estimated 420 of them left in the wild as their numbers have been decimated through inadvertently overfishing them (they frequently become trapped in deep trawl nets)  |

"The scaly-foot snail makes its shell from iron instead of calcium.
Only if the hydrothermal vent is providing a source of iron. They can do it with other metals too."
They can indeed! They're my favourite gastropod. Except maybe nudibranchs, they're pretty awesome. |

The word threshold refers to the piece wood on the floor in the door frame and originates when straw... or thresh ... was used as a floor covering. The piece of wood stopped the thresh from migrating outside hence threshold |

"Your eyes are the same size from the day you are born, till the day you die!
The only part of the body that does that
Yeah I'm not sure if that is true bud."

"Dr Seuss invented the word nerd"
Many people mispronounce the name Seuss.
In fact a good friend of his (Alexander Liang) wrote this poem about it..
"You’re wrong as the deuce
And you shouldn’t rejoice
If you’re calling him Seuss.
He pronounces it Soice (or Zoice)." |
