How about Jellyfish? =p

closest thing to jellyfish is marine life;

while fishing off Bermuda in 2006, Ian Card was impaled on the bill of a 14-ft (4.3 m) blue marlin that leapt over his boat. the 800 lb (363 kg) fish hit Card with such force that its 3-ft (90 cm) spear went through his chest and knocked him into the sea. as the fish dived, forcing Card underwater, he was able to push himself off the razor-sharp bill and swim to the surface with blood pouring from his chest wound. he was rushed to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital in Bermuda where he underwent emergency surgery. doctors said that he would of died had the bill struck him a fraction of an inch to either side.

Well, what about Pinata?

The decorated clay pot also called a cantero represents Satan who often wears an attractive mask to attract humanity. The most traditional style piñata looks a bit like Sputnik, with seven points, each with streamers. These cones represent the seven deadly sins, pecados - greed, gluttony, sloth, pride, envy, wrath and lust. Beautiful and bright, the piñata tempted. Candies and fruits inside represented the cantaros (temptations)of wealth and earthly pleasures.

i had to search the internet and trawl through shite text before i found that.
i am determined not to break that Guarantee!

What about sleeping? That would be fun.

a former chef who cooks meals meal in his sleep is receiving medical help amid fears he could burn down his house. Robert Wood of Fife, Scotland, gets up four or five times a week and heads to the kitchen where he has made omelettes, stir fries, and chips without waking up.

ZZZZZZZZZ
bad pun. sorry.

What about...chubfish? Or just chub

here's a fishy one;

Kipper the catfish was blamed for starting a fire that destroyed a house in Poole, England, in 2006. during a fight in his tank, water splashed out onto an electric plug, sending a power surge up the tank cable. this burned the tanks plastic lid, which then melted onto a sofa, setting it, and the house, alight.

i would like to know what that poor fish was brawling with in that fish tank?!?

well bugger me, there's just one tiger fact;

a tiger zoo near Bangkok, Thailand, promotes interbreed friendships to an unusual degree. in 2004, a tigress and a piglet in a tiger-print jacket take a stroll together.

churches are related to Christianity;

in Edam, the Netherlands, there is a 1:10 scale model of the town's great church made out of 10,000 balls of Edam cheese.

i am beginning to regret this...

And ten minutes later all that was left was a tigress trying to fit into a piglet-sized jacket...

your in luck, only one;

when the children's museum of Indianapolis, Indiana, had the chance to name a newly discovered species of dinosaur, they referenced Hogwarts, the fictional wizard's school attended by Harry Potter.

Zerox 01-06-2008 08:14 AM

Oh yeah, I heard about that. Dracorex Hogwartsia. A Pachycephalosaurid. That was on the news.

Demented name though.

Paramite of War 01-06-2008 02:55 PM

HA! I live in indianapolis, and have been to the Children's Museum many times :D

How about something involving bowels, or other disgusting bodily functions?

MA 01-13-2008 05:53 AM

sorry for the loooong wait.

closest thing;

the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in Gaithersburg, Maryland, stages an annual toilet-decorating contest. the 2006 winners of the $25 grand prize were two Boy Scouts with their Camp Stinkalot Scouthouse. they painted their toilet brown and built an outhouse around it, complete with a plastic vine and fake snake.

GENUINE!

Oddey 01-13-2008 06:17 AM

Hmmm... How about something involving toilets again.

HA HA! them i have plenty of;

an American firm has invented a new iPod accessory that combines the portable music player with a toilet-roll holder so you can enjoy your favourite tunes while in the bathroom.

specific but, i have a thing quite close to that genre;

Australian Pat Skinner got a shock when she saw an X-Ray of her pelvis in 2004. it showed a pair of surgical scissors that had been left inside her body during an operation she'd had 18 months previously.

there are plenty more where that came from, and thats tame compared to others! ask! ASK!!

shit...death?

a woman from Des Moines, Iowa, allegedly faked her own death to avoid paying parking fines. she apparently wrote her own obituary, made to look like a page from the website of the Des Moines Register, and forged a letter informing a judge that she had died in a car crash. but she was caught out after she was given yet another parking ticket just a month after her 'death'.

i was extremely lucky to find this, i was literally about to turn over the index page, and give you something about 'fakes' (see the play on genre this time?). bit diverse but, no Guarentee-breaky!

when the International Bird Rescue Research Center in Cordelia, California, treated an injured duck in May 2006, an X-Ray revealed what looked like the face of ET in the bird's stomach. the Center planned to auction the 'unbeleivable' X-Ray to raise funds.

for that, all you have to do is browse the forums! (JOKE).

well, this seems quite stupid;

in Louisiana, biting someone with your natural teeth is considered to be 'simple assault', but biting someone with your false teeth is 'aggravated assault'.

HA, gotcha! computers;

Chinese high-school student Zhou Chen of Nanjing has invented a special computer that can be operated by the user simply moving his or her eyeballs. the 'eyeball mouse', as he calls it, enables users to click and, for example, open a website just by looking at the screen and moving their eyes.

music sold platinum? well here's music, and i'm sure it would of sold platinum;

in May 2006, 1,581 guitarists simultaneously played Jimi Hendrix's 'Hey Joe' at the Old Town Square in Wroclawm Poland. the guitarists traveled from Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Sweden, and even U.S.A. to take part.

if i've understood 'water conduits' correctly (pipelines, etc).

in 2004, smugglers were caught bringing Vodka into Lithuania from neighbouring Belarus through a pipeline that was 2 mi (3.2 km) long.

Pick something with Strawberries!! And it HAS to include strawberries!

had to drag this lot off some internet site;

Strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the outside.

The average strawberry has 200 seeds.

In parts of Bavaria, country folk still practice the annual rite each spring of tying small baskets of wild strawberries to the horns of their cattle as an offering to elves. They believe that the elves, are passionately fond of strawberries, will help to produce healthy calves and an abundance of milk in return.


i might try that last one.

@Zozo: here's one for yeh;

The ancient Romans believed that strawberries alleviated symptoms of melancholy, fainting, all inflammations, fevers, throat infections, kidney stones, bad breath, attacks of gout, and diseases of the blood, liver and spleen.

LIZARDS;

Mukesh Thakore, a 25 year-old Indian man, has eaten more than 25,000 lizards over the past 20 years! he first became addicted to eating the reptiles as a five year-old when, spotting a lizard in the wild, he popped it in his mouth out of curiosity. now Thakore, known locally as the Lizard Boy, devours up to 25 live lizards every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

i work hard for this thread. give me +rep :D

I call bullcrap on this one. A fruit is defined as being the swollen ovary of a flower. Ergo: a strawberry is not a fruit, rather the seeds on the outside are fruits called achenes with contain the true seeds inside.

Similarly, the fruit of an apple is actually the woody core inside, the flesh we eat is not part of the fruit itself, being derived from the floral tube.

i did state that it was off of an internet site, not the book, so the Guarentee stands...HA
you may have a 'spectacular aura' about you, but your not breaking my guarentee! :D

thanks for the info.

I want to know a weird and wonderful fact about anuses.

MA 02-08-2008 03:52 AM

as much as that amuses me, im afraid the book does not contain information on anything that may be offensive (Laser kept asking for whale dick's), but i can redirect you to someone who would gladly give you factual information about 'anuses';
