--The average memory of a gold fish is 12 seconds.
--A millepede does NOT have 1,000 legs. Typically, they have no more than 750.
--The most venomous snake (snake with the MOST venom) is the Gaboon viper from central Africa. One bite can distribute almost a pint of venom.
--A cockroach can live 12 days without a head. It doesn't really have a brain. Just nerve cells that travel the length of its body. When it does eventually die, it isn't because of the trauma of not having a head. It's because it doesn't have a mouth to drink water with. It dehydrates to death.
--If you mix liquid starch with elmer's glue, you make a wonderful silly-putty like substance.
--Mike Nesmith (of the 70's group--The Monkeys) had a famous mother. Betty Nesmith invented White Out.
--Many words in the English language have double letters: Moon, Jeep, kiss. Several have two consecutive pairs of double letters: balloon. There is only one distinct word in the English language that has three consecutive sets of double letters: BOOKKEEPER.

I could go on forever, but I think that's enough.
