    The planet Mercury is a symbol used by the transgendered community. The sign for Mercury is a crescent shape and a cross, which represents the male and female principles in harmony in an individual. Additionally, the god Mercury fathered Hermaphroditus, who had both male and female sex organs.

    Did you know that Mississippi has more per capita Professional Football Players than any other state in the US? It also has one of the worst Gay rights records: you can be fired, evicted etc. for being gay. And guess what? I am from Mississippi, gay, and played football. So confusing. ;-)

    If Jupiter was 13 times more massive, it would classify as an extremely low mass brown dwarf star rather than a gas giant planet. :slight_smile:

    If Jupiter weren't there to act as a giant meteoroid vacuum, our own planet would be hit by one of those every thousand years or so...

    The trickiest tongue twister in the English language is apparently "Sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick". Give it a try and see for yourself.

    Humans, dolphins, and bonobo monkeys are the only mammals that are known to have sex for pleasure.

    In Shakespeare's time mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight".

    Many languages in the world do not have separate words for the colours blue and green because they are considered to be different shades of the same colour.

    Lobsters are our world's immortals. If in perfect conditions they can live up to 140+ years old, (although the exact number isn't known because they get eaten before then) and if frozen, when they thaw out they're fine.

    The Kangaroo got it's name When Captain James Cook asked one of his men in 1770 to inquire of an Aboriginal what was the name of the strange jumping animal, the man replied "Kangaroo" meaning, I can't understand what you are saying.

    An adult human is made up of around 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (7 octillion) atoms.Just thinking about that number makes my brain hurt.

    "Goodbye" comes from the saying "God be with you."

    I guess Atheists will have to settle with "See y'all bitches later."

    Duck vaginas have developed “dead ends” over time to protect them from being raped by other ducks.
