Random Facts
#1
Post some random facts you know or have looked up.

I'll start:

You are more likely to be killed by a vending machine falling on top of you than to be killed by a shark

emperor scorpions glow bright blue under a blacklight

iguanas feel heat from the top of their bodies, but not the bottom (they tend to burn their bellies on heat rocks, etc, when kept as pets because of that...)

you can lead a cow upstairs but not down them

a pig can orgasm for up to 30 minutes

if a statue in the park of a person on a horse has:
both front legs in the air - the person died in battle
one front leg in the air - the person died as a result of wounds received in battle
all four legs on the ground - the person died of natural causes

in the 1940s, the fcc assigned tv channel 1 to mobile services (two-way radios in taxicabs and stuff like that...) but didn't re-number the other channel assignments (that's why your tv has channels 2 and up, but no channel 1)
