Post bizarre or unusual facts here, something that will educate, entertain, or inform. Things like the fact that a cockroach can live for a month without a head, single cell organisms can be up to six inches in length, or that a pound of spider silk could circle the earth five times. These are just examples of the living world, feel free to include anything that you find different or interesting.

PFC Jessica Lynch
On April 24, 2007 she testified in front of Congress that she had never fired her weapon; her M16 rifle jammed, as did all weapons systems assigned to her unit, and she had been knocked unconscious when her vehicle crashed.
All weapons systems jammed? They never stood a chance, best funded, best trained military in the world, and this is how the equipment performs in the field, astounding. :(
