Did you know...

1. It is impossible to lick your elbow. 
2. A crocodile can't stick its tongue out. 
3. A shrimp's heart is in its head.
4. In a study of 200,000 ostriches, over a period of 80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand.
5. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
6. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

A,

I realize this is humour, but regarding point #4, there was a "petting zoo" at the CNE in Toronto a couple of years ago. There were a couple of ostriches in pens, and yes we did see them bury their heads in the sand. It was hilarious to behold!

You know, I thought for sure I'd before seen pics of ostriches with their heads in the sand. Maybe the researchers actually never did see as much, but after 80 yrs. you'd think someone would've caught 'em in the act  wink .

You too huh? big_smile  Too funny dude. What's going to be even funnier is the NR member who actually CAN lick their elbow... and then tells us! Any contortion artists out there?

BTW y'all--my guy tells me it's very unattractive to try to lick one's elbow... so you may want to try this one in the closet wink !

Good to see you active on the board again Xenopope! You still making music?

Oh yea - I could just see me doing this in public! But it would be funny to see how many others you could get to try to do it!

Nope - not a whole lot lately. But I still listen to it! And I'm sure I will continue making music very soon.
