A subordinate wolf will cringe towards the leader with tail low and bent legs, ears back and down, in a submissive nature. At other times, active submission involves a group of subordinate wolves surrounding the dominant wolf with their noses up against it. Sometimes the pack will howl.

A ten year old mattress weighs twice as what it did when it was new because of stuff like dust mites, mold, dead skin cells, lint, pollen, and sweat in it. :P

Sometimes I wish my cat was deaf. Naw- mute! lol

In Ireland, it's good luck to have a black cat cross your path and bad luck if a white cat does (might not hear you coming, lol). In America, it's the other way around.

And in Spain, Tuesday the 13th is their version of Friday the 13th.

Men are six times more likely to get hit by lightning than women.

Every human is 99.9 percent genetically identical.

Because it gives a feeling of love and calmness to a man, a man is less likely to get in a car accident on their way to work if they are kissed on the way out. Sweet. :D

Barbie's full name is :Barbara Millicent Roberts

90% lightning never touches the ground. the bolts of electricity meet in the air, like the earth sends a spark and the coud does also and the charges meet. and some just jump from coud to cloud. and if you are close enough to hear thunder your close enough to get hit by lightning

It's amazing how many people die by lightning strikes in the desert. Some people loose 5 IQ for every mile they travel away home. Just some, not everyone does because somebody has to watch after the ones that do :wink: And now for one my 9th grade Honors English teacher taught us:

A cockroach can live on the oil in a human fingerprint for 6 months.
