I found this beaut in my search for another fun fact. http://i.imgur.com/pDTtHEI.jpg

And did you know deaf people don't make a sound while sneezing? Cool HUH?! Not only that, but people make different sneezing noises depending on their language! For example, for those in Japan, it's "hakashun," instead of "achoo."

That's the Diving Bell Spider. That arachnid spends most of it's life underwater, inside the air chambers made my it's silk. Even cooler, it never need to resurface to refill the chamber with oxygen; the chamber can extract dissolved oxygen from the water and dispose of CO2.

I'm back with some more facts, yo. Or jokes.

The bobbit worm. He's a total baller. He moves so fast when catching prey, he occasionally slices them in half. Whoops.

How did the dinosaurs REALLY die? After having eaten everything on Earth, the dinosaurs dug deep into the ground in search of food. Sadly, they became trapped, which is why their skeletons are found underground today.

Don't trust atoms. They make up everything.

This fact (I assure you, no joke here) is from the depths of my memory from a popsci magazine a while back, so I'm a little fuzzy on the details. Objective: stop asteroids from hitting us. Methodology: build a giant laser array fueled by solar power. Only problem being getting such a thing into space, let alone with the solar panels intact.

Ew. Get it away from me, get it away!


Same...


The Cook Strait Giant Weta is only found on Little Barrier Island near New Zealand (thank God). It's scientific name means terrible wrinkled grasshopper, and rightly so.
