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
#23...you actually had to clarify it for yourself and didn't believe what I wrote...I'm offended.... :O
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...
