Just something to make you say........What?

I'll start.

1. Cross your arms without thinking about it. Right over left is most common. Dumb fact is you have been doing this since you were about six months old and you actually have to think about doing it the other way and it might even feel odd.

2. Stand and take a step. Did you know you had a "follow foot"?

Sure, you can do it if you think about it but one foot is dominate as well.


Now that I've:laugh: wasted 2 mins of you time. Have a great day, oh, and if you have some useless facts.

Please add!

I always cross my left arm over my right, and no, I'm not a lefty.

I can tell you, without getting out my chair, that I usually start walking with my left foot. I also jump using my left foot to push off, but kick with my right.

I can wipe my butt with either hand...but not with my foot.

The surface area of human intestines can cover half of a badminton court.

Which, along with the high rate of speed, is why they don't corner very well.

I have another great stat about that!

Because a cheetah is so skinny and light weight relative to all ungulates (or large cats for that matter), they can corner at high speeds better than any of the prey they hunt!

The secret? They use their abnormally large tail as a rudder. Check this out:

And then with that little trick, he can outplay any maneuver the gazelle attempts, even at over 60 MPH:

There is currently a plan that’s been building for about a year to repopulate the United States with Jaguars. They used to be native to the US, but hunters in the early 1900’s all but eradicated them.

It is a preservation attempt to correct the destabilization of nature unintentionally caused by man. Overpopulation of deer, rabbits, various rodents and other prey is a direct result of humans thinning all of the predatorial animals such as wolves, bears, and the Jaguar. The idea is they would take 50-150 Jaguars from South America and distribute them all throughout New Mexico and Arizona.

For those who don’t know, Jaguar is pound for pound the most dangerous big cat in the world. While not as large as a Lion or a tiger, Their size-to-weight ratio exceeds both, and the have the second strongest bite force amongst all mammals, only to the hippo. You ever see those videos on the Nile, where the croc pops out of the water and drags the lion in? That one goes a bit differently on the Amazon….

If you live in Texas, imagine seeing one of those things staring in through your sliding door.

You ever see those videos where the croc pops out of the water and drags the lion in? Jaguars have a different idea altogether….

I don't see that idea going over very well, unless they're willing to work for half the pay and no benefits.

This would be so awesome.

I wish they would do the same thing with mountain lions here in PA.

Spiral staircases in medieval castles run clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs, they would not be able to use their right hand, which was holding the sword, because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no trouble, except left-handed people could never become knights because they were assumed to be descendants of the devil.

I guess I'm a descendant of the devil.
