Random stuffs...

The other day, I came across stuff that goes by the name of 'Wow...I didn't know that'...but they were facts. Admittedly there was some things I did know, but most of it was quite...strange, so I decided to stick some on here....for the sake of a blog really...

    15. Goldfish bowls provide insufficient oxygen to fish due to their shape and are banned in some countries as they are cruel (and this)
    16. In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her cheating adulterous husband but she may only do so with her bare hands
    17. In Arizona it is illegal to have more than two dildos in one house
    18. It is possible to lead a cow upstairs but not downstairs.

    21. Tourists visiting Iceland should know that tipping at a restaurant is considered an INSULT
    22. A fish has a memory span of up to 3 months, not 3 seconds. They have an attention span of 3 seconds...(and this)

                                                OK, I knew 11 of these facts already. 3,5,11,14(from QI and not cus im a perv),18,20,21,22(because of you and ur expert knowledge),24,26,27.

                                                #14 also there was a bellow that blew smoke up the anus, thats for both sexes.

                                                As for #23, well thats just wrong and it does indeed seem to be true.

                                                #24 was in the papers the other day, a king James bible backed in a hanged mans skin, bleughhh!

                                                #26 thats why rabbits aren't allowed them! lol

                                                LOL @#15 typo!

                                                I'm afraid we have no Chameleons with attitude in stock but we do carry a Newt with mild depression if your interested! :)

                                                Ok, so typo fixed... lol

                                                Well of course. It just seemed so far outside the realm of possibilities. I even seen a pic of the girl and her bump...kinda freaked me out. One doc quoted "she was more interested in playing with her dolls than she was with her child" Some feckers need hung!

                                                P.S. you seen trailers for Rango yet? He's kinda a nerdy Lizard!

                                                Of course she was more interested in her dolls...she was 5...
