Rock Action Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 At least this thread is more entertaining than all those Spats-infested threads. Oh yes, another interesting fact.

Maybe the next time a lame thread is made, you should take your mild frustration offline and do something else. Here's a fact for you: Hair and facial hair grows thicker in the winter.

caroselambra~ Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 in the last two days i have received numerous attacks aimed at me through threads i have made. the damning posts have all been removed thanks to sam. these attacks are not based on differences of opinion, they are just vents of, all i can describe as, hatred towards me. i have made a resolution to ignore all deliberately *nasty* replies from now on. hopefully the few members who do this will crawl back under the stone they came from. anway surprising fact no 5654 it always takes less time to fly from new york to london (by jet) than it does to fly from london to new york the reason being the prevailing wind for that part of the earth is always west to east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroselambra~ Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 does anyone know why honey bees die when they sting seems like a pretty bad defence mechanism to me apparently when they sting, the barbed bit sticks into the skin so hard it pulls some of the bee's abdomen out when it tries to fly off the bee cannot survive the damage and dies shortly after like i said a crazy defence system!!

A few weeks ago there was a praying mantis on the front steps and i moved it with a stick back to the ground, so i wouldnt step on it. it came back to the step again, it was cold so i think it was wanting to stay in the sun. it was then on the upside of the step, so me or my dog wouldnt step on it. i saw it there for another three days....i think it was cold stunned, cause when i had i moved it with the stick it was so slow moving.
