The BLUES Brothers Posted August 18 Posted August 18 True or False: The President of the USA is not allowed to go into the tHE St Louis Arch. Sorry to provide quick answer but have to get back to work.... True: President Eisenhower was the last POTUS, and Secret Service could not provide ample protection in tight areas, so sinc3e then, they have prohibited it as an allowed POTUS visiting destination.

Dolphins have names and accents. Did you know Killer Whales target Great White Sharks livers, which they remove with precision and technique. They also eat Polar Bears. 2 of the baddest bullies, getting bullied. 4 1 Quote

I did know about dolphins, and I've also read Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy, so I do know they are smart! Another dolphin fun fact, is they use I think it's a puffer fish to get high. The fish releases toxins to protect itself, but it just gets the dolphins high and they pass the fish around ina session! I didn't know about the bears 1 Quote

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 19 Posted August 19 (edited) Orcas kill sharks for fun. Go right to the sharks liver and rip it... Then play with their liver and leave the rest. Yeah, I know they are sharks, but what a bunch of dickheads orcas are! Why not go tip an elite's sailboat off the coast of Spain or some place... The world don't need them.

Pete Posted August 19 Posted August 19 Spider Web is stronger than Steel. It is so strong, that if a pencil sized Spider Web would stop a Boeing 747 in flight. There is a Spider Web in South America that they drag fish with the web, in salt water. Spider Web, if replicated, the possiblities are endless. Its hypoallergenic, and the body does not reject, so bone replacement, surgery, etc, it will huge progress. Its strength to weight ratios- lighter, faster, more efficient planes, trains, cars etc. The applications and improvements are endless 2 Quote

ChevyVanMiller Posted August 19 Posted August 19 One activity that God does not want man ever to engage in is juggling. When asked why, God responded, “If I had wanted man to juggle, I’d have given him three balls.” 3 Quote
