Submitted by deannamascleQuestion: What creature can see both infra-red and ultra-violet light?Answer: GoldfishInteresting Fact: The common goldfish is the only animal that can see both infra-red and ultra-violet light. The goldfish was one of the earliest fish to be domesticated and is still one of the most commonly kept aquarium fish and water garden fish.

I've been having this urge to start a thread about famous props (for the matter, jewelry) in famous movies.First thing that comes to mind, seems to be 90s tear-jerker classic Titanic's Heart of the Ocean necklace.Above: Not the original but a decent inspired version.Supposedly sunken into the depths of the ocean and unattainable, it has resurfaced in proliferate variations and numbers to suit the lusts of we people, who seek the unattainable.HistoryThe necklace was fashioned from a large blue diamond worn by Louis XVI. Shortly after his execution in 1793, the diamond disappeared and was believed to have been made into the Heart of the Ocean.Source of the original ReplicaSome online sources quote that original first replicas (paradox?) were sold as limited editions by J Peterman, which was

Let me just share this with you. 15% of U.S. women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day.73% of people who buy flowers for Valentine's Day are men, while only 27 percent are women. About 1 billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged each year. That's the largest seasonal card-sending occasion of the year, next to Christmas. About 3% of pet owners will give Valentine's Day gifts to their pets. Alexander Graham Bell applied for his patent on the telephone, an "Improvement in Telegraphy", on Valentine's Day, 1876.

Approximately 110 million roses, the majority red, will be sold and delivered within a three-day time period. Cupid, anoth
How did Valentine’s Day originate?The holiday has evolved from Roman mythology to a religious holiday to a day of celebrating love. Romans had the feast of Lupercalia, named after Lupercus, the god of fertility. It happened every year in February and had many parts. There was a sacrificial slaughtering of goats and young dogs, both known for their strong sexual instincts. The sacrifice was to please Lupercus. If the god was happy, he would spare their sheep from his wolves. Another piece of the celebration was the tradition of matching young couples. Each teen boy would choose a girl’s name from a lottery. The two would be paired up for the festivities and remain sexual partners for the following year. This too was done trusting that it was the will of the gods. Also during that era, F

Here's some interesting facts about men and their horrible, wonderful heads of hair throughout history:Ancient Romans often had a slave on staff to act as their personal hairdressers.Japanese samurai would cut hair their hair off as a sign of defeat. Even their wives would shave their heads and sometimes follow a spiritual life when they lost honor or a loved one.Many African tribes used grease, red dirt and sometimes animal feces to style their locks.Long hair and beards was

The Chagga people of Tanganyika believe that a liar will be poisoned if he or she consumes beer mixed with the blood of a recently sacrificed goat. Beer is mixed with saliva and blood for a drink that is shared when two Chagga men become blood brothers. The national anthem of the US, the "Star-Spangled Banner," was written to the tune of a drinking song. The shallow champagne glass originated with Marie Antoinette. It was first formed from wax molds made of her breasts. Beer was not sold in bottles until 1850; it was not sold in cans until 1935. In the 1600's thermometers were filled with brandy instead of mercury. A raisin dropped into a glass of champagne will repeatedly bounce up and down between the top and the bottom of the glass. As late as the mid-17th century, the French wine maker
I met up with Justin in the common room of the Wellywood hostel in Wellington. The night was already set for us - Trivia Night at a local bar. His team had placed first the week before, so I was just hoping to make a small contribution to their defending effort.
First off, we had a dare to settle, and Justin made good on it as you can see in the photo above. He and his friends (Mark from England, Justin/James from Ireland) were a riot, and I’m glad I got the chance to hang out with them all.
On to the trivia - Christmas themed questions. I pulled out a few right answers “fox” “Serendipity” and “Jingle All the Way” however Justin and John were the trivia ninjas, helping the team to pull out a second place showing, plus a bonus question. The reward? A $50 bar tab that had to be used that night, and a bottle of champagne (which attracted a newly minted flight attendant in a red dress)!

Alcohol consumption decreases during the time of the full moon. Drinking lowers rather than raises the body temperature. There is an illusion of increased heat because alcohol causes the capillaries to dilate and fill with more warm blood. Rhode Island never ratified the 18 Amendment establishing Prohibition. "Whiskey" is the international aviation word used to represent the letter "w." Most vegetable, and virtually all fruit juices, contain alcohol. There are 83 dry towns and villages in Alaska. In West Virginia, bars can advertise alcohol beverage prices, but not brand names. There is a cloud of alcohol in outer space with enough alcohol to make four trillion-trillion drinks. It's free for the taking. . . but it's 10,000 light years away from Earth. The Mayflower, well-known for bringing the Pilgrims to the New World, ordinarily transported alcohol beverage between Spain and England. Wine has about the same number of calories as an equal amount of grape juice. Johnny Applese

During World War II, a group of alpine soldiers who were stranded in mountain snows survived for an entire month on nothing but a cask of sherry. White lightning is a name for illegally-distilled spirits. All spirits are clear or "white" until aged in charred oak barrels. Moonshiners skip the aging process to reduce risk of arrest, hence the name of their product. Moonshining is profitable because the taxes on legally-produced spirits are so high. It is estimated that the federal government takes in 14 times more in taxes on distilled spirits than producers of the products earn making them. That does not include what states and localities additionally take in taxes on the same products. President Jimmy Carter's mother said "I'm a Christian, but that doesn't mean I'm a long-faced square.

Martha Washington enjoyed daily toddys. In the 1790s, "happy hour" began at 3:00 p.m. and cocktails continued until dinner.Tom Arnold, Sandra Bullock, Chevy Chase, Bill Cosby, Kris Kristofferson, and Bruce Willis are all former bartenders.Frederick the Great of Prussia tried to ban the consumption of coffee and demanded that the populace drink alcohol instead. President Lincoln, when informed that General Grant drank whiskey while leading his troops, reportedly replied "Find out the name of the brand so I can give it to my other generals."Being intoxicated had desirable spiritual significance to the ancient Egyptians. They often gave their children names like "How Drunk is Cheops" or "How Intoxicated is Hathor."The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, rather than continue sailing because they were running out of supplies, especially alcohol beverage. 3b The bill for a celebration party for the 55 drafters of the US Constitution was for 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottl
My hometown Duesseldorf doesn’t really bristle with too many exciting cultural landmarks. But on weekends, it seems to inhale bus fleets carrying herds of senior citizen tourists that spend their sunday afternoons gaping at shopping streets and twisted buildings.
This is one of the main travel providers.

A falta de las típicas fiestas que Gran Hermano les brinda a los chicos los sábados por la noche, los seis participantes que quedan dentro de la casa se devanaron respondiendo las preguntas que el “Grande” les tenía reservadas para su esparcimiento.
Ya cercanos a la finalización del ciclo, los pocos participantes que lograron sobrevivir al juego pasaron la noche del sábado tratando de responder acertadamente las preguntas que formaban parte de la trivia.
En un cóctel temático que paseó a los chicos entre distintos contenidos, los ‘hermanitos’ se atrevieron a responder sobre geografía, arte, biología, historia y cultura general.
Además de las preguntas de GH, la velada fue amenizada con buena música y chistes, logrando que los sobrevivientes del reality olvidaran la inminente expulsión del domingo.
Esteban, Sole y Flor fueron los que más puntos lograron, pero una interrogante aún perdura en la cabeza de los chicos: ¿Quién reemplazará a Damián?
It’s not unlike a mosquito constantly buzzing near your ear, this idea that we’re killing ourselves with technology. Everyday, it seems, we hear with disdain about people who don’t know their own phone number, don’t know their friend’s number, don’t know how to drive across town without GPS navigation. These things, we’re told, are proof that civilization and intelligence are in decline. That the younger you are the more likely you are to be helplessly inept and unwise.
David Brooks, a New York Times columnist, recently seemed to address this “outsourcing” of our brains, but I couldn’t tell if he liked the idea or not. He says:
Memory? I've externalized it. I am one of those baby boomers who are making this the "It's on the Tip of My Tongue Decade" But now I no longer need to have a memory, for I have Google, Yahoo and Wikipedia. Now if I need to know some fact about the world, I tap a few keys and reap the blessings
OK, Firefox fanbois (and fangrrls!), here’s a round serving of facts about the One True Browser to sate your appetite for all things Mozilla-derived!
Geek-elite Jamie Zawinski was the first to name Firefox’s predecessor, Mozilla, and he recounts many fun anecdotes from those days on his site, along with his own telling of the open-source release party hosted at the Mozilla site itself.
Type “about: mozilla” into Firefox’s address bar and you’ll get a quote from the parody-tome “The Book of Mozilla”. This still works even in the latest release. To clear up what some of these quotes mean, try this page. Still confused? Did you view the source?
When Debian and Firefox had their snit over completely free licensing of the Firefox brand name, Debian ended up using the Firefox source but changing the branding to “Iceweasel“. The name comes from ice being opposed to fire, weasel being a characteristically cowardly creature as

The Barnum’s Animal Cracker and the box were introduced in 1902 by the National Biscuit Company. The box was designed with a string so that it could be hung on the tree as a Christmas ornament—the box is still designed the same way today.

Como bien lo dice Genbeta, QToro puede resultar enviciante. Si alguna vez vieron “Quién quiere ser un millonario” y programas afines, entonces sabrán muy bien de qué se trata.
Qtoro es un simple juego de preguntas con respuestas múltiples (como los programas mencionados… nada de pensar en exámenes), en donde se nos dan 4 posibles respuestas y tenemos que elgir obviamente 1. Son 20 segundos los dados por cada una, y conforme el tiempo llega a su fin, las incorrectas van anulándose hasta quedar en un apretado 50/50 (una de las dos es correcta) que, claro, nos dará menos puntos.
Podemos jugar con el mouse, o bien optar por utilizar el teclado (1,2,3,4 son los números de respuesta, “N” para una nueva pregunta).
Sin embargo, me gustaría preguntas en otros idiomas porque, como la mayoría de Web 2.0 startups, el contenido predominante es el inglés (aunque me topé con esta pregunta en italiano - y de videojuegos (yay!).

Here’s a little tidbit that J.K. Rowling just recently revealed while on a book signing tour here in the U.S. - “Dumbledore is gay.”
I loaned out my copy of the last book to two people so far, and just got it back this weekend - but a friend of my hubby’s wants to borrow it next. Once she returns it, I am looking forward to giving it a second read myself - this time nice and slow.
Bright Blessings, Lady Rose
1. Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the U.S. in 1932 on a pledge to end National Prohibition. 2. During World War II, reduction of consumption activists argued that soldiers should not be permitted to drink alcohol beverages. However, General George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, insisted that such prohibition would be 'harmful to the men in the service."3. The consumption of alcohol was so widespread throughout history that it has been called "a universal language."4. Opposition to the enforcement of Prohibition increased as people became disillusioned with the Noble Experiment. Montana became the first state to repeal its enforcement of Prohibition, doing so in 1926 (Prohibition lasted from 1920 through 1933).5. Shochu, a beverage distilled from barley, was the favorite beverage of the world’s longest-living man, Shigechiyo Izumi of Japan, who lived for 120 years and 237 days. He was born on June 29, 1865 and died on February 21, 1986. 52 The U.S. Mari
Here's one for you, did you know that octopuses have three hearts?
That puts Kylie to shame with her 2.
And you know how our blood is red because of the iron in it? Well, octopus blood contains the copper-rich protein hemocyanin for transporting oxygen.
But unlike the Vulcans in Star Trek (who have a green coloured copper-based blood) the octopodes have blue coloured blood.
(Yep, copper compounds can be blue, think of copper sulphate.)
So, what have we learned there? One thing, people like trivia.
Here's another bit of trivia (or trivium as it is): Identical twins don't have the same...

Nothing beats winning something for knowing useless facts about TV/Entertainment. That's exactly what TV Trivia Offers, a chance to win prizes for free and compete with other pop-culture trivia divas online. You have to sign up, which makes sense to be eligible for prizes, but it would be nice to just be able to play for fun without registering. At least registering is an easy and painless process. The graphics and look of this trivia game are EXCELLENT! The smooth and easy interface makes competing in trivia matches easy. I have to admit that playing TV trivia reminded me of when I used to go to Trivia Night in college at this hole in the wall bar. The best I ever did there was win a T-shirt, but of course there were a lot of academic questions and other teams to play against. I definitely prefer having pop-culture type questions, though my favorite category so far is the general fun category which can throw pretty much anything at you from logic questions to music trivia. If you go

1. President Lyndon B. Johnson's favorite drink may have been scotch and soda. He would ride around his Texas ranch in an open convertible in hot weather. He drank his "scotch and soda out of a large white plastic foam cup. Periodically, Johnson would slow down and hold his left arm outside the car, shaking the cup and ice. A Secret Service agent would run up to the car, take the cup and go back to the station wagon (following the President's car). There another agent would refill it with ice, scotch, and soda as the first agent trotted behind the wagon. then the first agent would run the refilled cup up to LBJ's outstretched hand, as the President's car moved slowly forward."2.

ok - here's the scoop. My wife and I love to play buzztime trivia (www.buzztime.com). You may have seen them in your local bar or restaurant. It's those little blue boxes that allow one to answer trivia questions shown on various t.v. screens. Questions pop up and folk have a few moments to answer the question. There are five answers given and one must guess, er know, the correct answer. Three clues are given - usually negative ones saying it's not xxx - time lapses and then the right answer is revealed. One can either play in cooperation with others in the establishment or by themselves. At the end of each game, usually 30 minutes, scores are then transmitted to a central location and everyone across the country gets to see the top bar scores (the top 5 scores of a bar averaged together) and the top individual scores.Anyway - my wife and I went to a new place tonight, Jaspers (http://www.jaspersrestaurants.com/Home/index.cfm)

In 2005 Nigerian banks United Bank of Africa and Standard Trust Bank have agreed plans to merge and create the biggest bank in West Africa. Standard Trust is 100% Nigerian-owned, but United Bank has some foreign investors, including New York-based Global Depository Receipts (32.8%), and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro and Monte del Paschi di Siena, both from Italy, who each have a 2.4% stake.Animal-rights activists have targeted the world's largest overseer of assets, the Bank of New York, for its relationship with British animal-testing firm Huntingdon Life Sciences, according to the Financial Times newspaper.

Como hizo la Usual Stuff en su blog preguntándose qué era lo que pensamos los jóvenes de hoy en día, yo me pregunto, porqué siempre estará ese dicho de "respetá a tus mayores".Con 22 años no me considero LA pendeja, LA nena, ni mucho menos. Pero uno ve a los mayores que hay como referentes a uno, y dice, ¿por qué nos dicen que respetemos a nuestro mayores, si ellos están hechos paté, física o mentalmente?.Digamos, hay mayores que sí son respetables y otros que no.El gordo Escanlar no me resulta respetable. Sin embargo Alejandro Dolina sí.Entonces yo le voy a pedir a mis lectores, que me contesten una serie de preguntas, de las cuales yo voy a deducir de la respuesta si ese refrán debe ser discontinuado, o, por el contrario, respetado.Acá van:¿Qué tiene como ventaja la edad?¿Por qué utilizan este refrán como argumento de defensa?¿Uno es mejor cuando es grande?¿Qué es lo que te da otra perspectiva?¿Uno realmente cambia tanto con la edad?
