An armadillo always bears an identical set of quadruplets, conceived from a single fertilized egg. The initial embryo divides in two and those two embryos divide, in turn, into two more. Thus every armadillo is a clone of its three brothers or its three sisters.

A female tasmanian devil only has four nipples in her pouch, so no more than four children survive, despite a relatively large litter. The mother typically eats the ones who don't latch onto the nipple.

Coke, a.k.a. cocaine, was used pervasively in the early 1900's. The Southern states finally agreed to a federal ban because they were afraid that the negro would use it, become sexually enraged, and rape their white women.

Saw it on the History Channel
Revisionist history by those that want to legalize drugs, anyone?? Sounds suspicious to me...
I dont know about the conpsiracy theory but its origin is correct.
Hippies think they started coke in the 60's.
WRONG!
It was a widely used recreational drug before the roaring 20's. There was even an old B&W film I saw once called "Coke fiends" or "cocaine fiends". It was made in the 30's

Coca-cola was so called because it originally had minute amounts of coke in its recipe. Thats what gave it the "KICK".
As I recall, Coca-cola came out around 1902 or so.
Cant remember exactly.

And southern states have been afraid of the negro ever since Lincoln made his emancipation proclamation.
They have twisted every possible fact to put them back in their place since then. I guess it wouldnt suprise me that drug abuse would fall under that list too.
I found the History Channel episode I referenced

All the assets of the world is worth about $140 Trillion U.S. Dollars.

The figure was released in a study by McKinsey & Co. that maps financial assets around the globe and seeks to track the flows of these assets as they move from one region to another, putting hard numbers on the oceans of capital washing up around the globe.

not in my car look up gas mileage of a scion tC Auto vs scion tC 5-spd


Edit: but i guess this has been settled several times

What matters is the gear sizes, among other factors
Its also why theoretically the Auto tC has a higher top speed however no1 has managed to crack toyota's ECU so no tC can make it past 127MPH, but the manual can defiantly get to 127 faster than the auto

The maximum gross take-off weight for a typical Boeing 727-100 series aircraft is 169,500 pounds, but it is allowed to depart from the gate weighing 170,000. The 500 lb difference is burned off while taxiing to the runway. (More like 1,000 pounds in actual practice).

There's my factoid. It sure is random!
