Post random facts that you know.
Did you know elephants use their trunks to dust bathe
-
Did you know that Preytor_4 does not have his own RA2 Wiki page, but I do?
-
Abe Lincoln was offered war elephants during the US Civil War by the King of Siam (if I'm not mistaken). Lincoln stupidly refused the amazing offer. For those not in the know, war elephants are essentially walking tanks. A turret with a gunman sits on top and the elephant scares the sh** out of everyone in its path.

Did you know that i am almost taller than my 21 year old bro

Did you know that it takes roughly 212 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

You certainly do. I haven't seen the other Toy Story movies in a while, so I can't compare directly, but this one certainly lives up to the high Pixar standards.

That movie was dark as kids films go (Not counting Japan, though).

Did you know that Preytor STILL hasn't moved my reputation up although:
1. I'm one of his best friends IRL
and
2. I moved HIS reputation up for him.
WHO MOVED MY REP DOWN?
IT BETTER NOT BE PREYTOR.
And why did it just go up 2 in, like, 2 seconds?

I moved it up

WHO MOVED MY REP DOWN?
I just did. I do it each time somebody talks about their rep.

Fact: Frezals sig is set up the way they usually used to be on the old forums, with the users name and a bot in it.
It was modeled after my old B4B sig. The bot used in the sig was my Vlad the Impaler replica.

I'd rather not go back to the old AU/RA.com/RAR/RFSHQ days.

WHO MOVED MY REP DOWN?
I just did. I do it each time somebody talks about their rep.
Just asking oneanother to increase the each others' rating without actually 'contributing' to the GTM community, is cheating...
Unless there's a valid issue, then there's really no need to complain about Rep level...
So, until then, "mum's" the word...

*Cough* Vietnam*/Cough*
The United States was never really fully committed to Vietnam. We had half the country saying we should and the other half saying we shouldn't, so we were always limited to how many people we could send over there.
Considering that, we didn't really lose to the Viet Kong, we just gave in to a bunch of stupid flag-burning hippies and pulled out before the job was done.

A dodecahedron is a terrible way to die.
Someone's been reading the DSL cheatbot2 part descriptions. But it's a tetrahedron, not a dodecahedron.
Also, fact: the legs of spiders are most likely analogous to the mouthparts of other arthropods, not the legs. So it could be said that spiders are legless and walk on their mouthparts. Somehow that makes them waaay creepier when you think about that.

Fact: The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
Sort of. He came up with the idea, but farmed out the building and designing to Edison (who farmed it out to his employees because he was a terrible inventor). Edison agreed to the project in order to give AC (alternating currents) a bad rap. You see, Edison was trying to get DC (direct current) to be the standard, but Tesla was pushing AC, which was a hell of a lot more practical. So he figured if he powered the electric chair on AC, people would think it was the more dangerous current.

Did you know Alexander Graham Bell didn't invent the telephone?
It was some Itallian guy who I forget the name of, actually. He worked in a studio with Bell and made the first telephone to communicate with his sick mother. When he went to patent it however he didn't have the money, yet Bell did, so Bell went on to go down in history as the inventor of the telephone.
