    Chachi's enci... encyclope... ensyklopeedik thread of FACTS

    Post a fact each, dear brethren, and we shall make this thread the greatest receptacle of knowledge on the information superhighway.

    I'll start:

    All polar bears are left-handed, and when hunting they cover their nose with a paw to aid camouflage

    Stringrays have officially declared war on humans

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061019/...ngray_stabbing

    LIGHTHOUSE POINT, Fla. - An 81-year-old boater was in critical condition Thursday after a stingray flopped onto his boat and stabbed him, leaving a foot-long barb in his chest, authorities said.

    "Something like this is really, really extraordinarily rare," she said. "Even when they are under duress, they don't usually attack."
    Yeah let's just keep making the same excuses for them...

    let's get them fellas

    (Stingrays 2 Humans 0 if the official score if anyone is keeping count)

    Huh, down in Australia, they throw a steak on the barbie. Apparently, stingrays throw a human on the barb.

    Also hundreds of sting rays have been killed since Steve Irwin died by ignorant idiots somehow trying to justify avenging his death by killing innocent creatures for no purpose.

    so it's more like humans: a shitload more then stingrays, stingrays: 1.5

    Not so much. Humans identify them that way though, if they cannot tell any other way which dolphin is which in a school (and you really should be able to). Dolphins identify themselves with a name, just like humans. Their name is a unique whistle/clicking type sound, which they can reproduce the same way we reproduce our name.

    I love dolphins.
