There is more complexity within an average handful of soil than there is in the total surface area of all the other bodies of the solar system.

On a man's hand, the ring finger is longer than the index finger, on a woman's hand the index finger is longer than the ring finger.
Hyenas are actually felines.
i heard that if you were to replace the entire sun with nothing but bananas then it would quickly collapse from its own gravity and become just as hot
dont quote me on any physics exams though, it sounds fishy to me

You're more likely to be a target for mosquitoes if you consume bananas.
It is possible to have a paralysed right arm and a paralysed left leg with no other signs if you have a lesion in the front of your medulla oblongata.I have seen this once; the poor guy had been seen by several doctors who thought he was a hysterical malingerer.
female hyenas have larger penises (their fake) than male hyena - their larger and dominant.
oh and african debt collectors love em -
duiker - a lil buck - actively persue and hunt mice, frogs, birds and other small animals - they play with em when they catch em - like cats - they even eat carrion.

The domestic cat is the only cat species able to hold its tail vertically while walking. All wild cats hold their tails horizontally or tucked between their legs while walking. Also, the nose pad of a domestic cat is as unique as a fingerprint of a human.

That's one bad ass picture.
More on hyenas. Actually on spotted hyenas since "Males in most hyena species are larger than females though the spotted hyena is exceptional" [2]. Also the penis thing is also spotted hyenas only.
"Penis" - fusion of the clitoris and labia of the vagina [1]

H&M t-shirts (those 4,95€ ones) are sold for around 1,4€ to H&M in Bangledash. [4]
There were three founding members of Apple. The third member sold his stock (10% of Apple) for $800. [3]

When I was 14 months old I ran through a 2nd floor apartment window screen and fell to the ground. I didn't have a scratch or any broken parts. My mother rushed down to find me sitting in the grass making not a sound. She's informed me and others that the doctor would not have believed her if not for her panicked expression.
And those pics are awesome Phlux, I had to grab them for myself.
And for a fact not about me, Hunter Thompson hitchhiked over 3000 miles in out and around the Caribbean. He wrote a friend that he could make it anywhere in the Country with nothing more than a loincloth.

The 12th root of two represents the ratio between any two consecutive musical notes. The band The Books recently released a new song dedicated to the number, here it is:
[YOUTUBE]
Lyrics:
Behold the finite set of thirteen convex figures
the irrational sine versus tangent forty-five.
And we genuflect before pure abstraction
1.05946…, twelfth root of two, amen.
to begin again…
To whom we venerate seven pieces,
endlessly manifold, self-contained, replete.
With all respect, we beseech the book of figures
Make us your analog, to begin again.
Here is an explanation of the song pulled from their blog:
A bit of explanation: The twelfth root of two defines the mathematical relationship between musical notes. That is, to get the next note in the (chromatic) scale, you multiply the frequency of the root note by the twelfth root of two (1.05946….). I started using this number a lot when cutting pvc pipes to the right lengths for the instruments i’ve been building (as in the Drake cover). Anyway, I think this number represents “God” about as well as anything the religions of the world have come up with, so why not write a hymn around it. (in a sense, all hymns are written around it).
The tune and harmonies came directly from a Danish hymn that Paul found, as sung by a chorus of Inuits from Greenland (if i’m not mistaken, Paul). The disco beat came from and exercise record from 70’s (the same source as one of our French elevator tracks), and it sets the tempo and key. The main loop is in sevens, another godly number. And I dare you to count the polyrythm through the ‘to begin again’ loop in the middle. I’m particularly happy with that one.
