About 10 years ago or so, I read somewhere that cockroaches can withstand the radiation (alpha, beta, electron beam, microwave, and low levels of gamma).
Being a smart ass, as I am, it took me a few minutes to catch a few of them (lived in apartment building in Brooklyn back than). Stuck them in a glass jar and put them in a microwave… :)
Guess what?
Experiment didn't work, Heat killed them…. :)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

I believe it's true about all birds :) Think of chicken, for instance.

Cat's urine glows under a black light.

Are you talking about the black body radiation?

If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.

Who makes these lame estimations? :) I always thought yelling requires much more energy than farting :)

Same with chimney, orange..

The cruise liner, Queen Elizabeth 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns/

Gee... what a guzzler :)

The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
No doubt here :)

The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with.

AntarcticA.
AfricA
AsiA
AustraliA
EuropE
North America?
South America?

So it did work, it just proved other hypothesis wrong.

P.S. Was it you who stuck a cat in a microwave when you were a child :)?

No, with cat - not me...

Radiation experiment - I guess microwave radiation doesn't work, as it heats up every single water molecule in the body (and many other molecules).
So the heat would kill it, not the radiation directly.

Континент и Материк разные вещи

Do you agree that North America and South America are two different Материкs? If so, then if they're called just America, how would you distinguish them?

By the way, in English, Материк=Continent.

[quote]

It's not only true for cats (but for many (if not all) other animals), urine (as well as many other body fluids) contain small amount phosphorus -containing compounds, which are invisible at normal light, but shed yellowish-greenish glow under standard black light or blue light...

As for the brain size. vs. eye size, It's not only true for birds :)

Тебе несколько имён перичислить штоб доказать свою правоту ? :)

Как так ? Итово итово по 6.

Европа и Азия -разные части света, но один материк (Евразия)

Северная и Южная Америка - Одна часть света (America), разные материки (North America and South America)...

Австралия, Антарктида, Африка Одно и тоже...

How does my statement differ from yours? (Except that yours is an open-ended "not only... but also" without "but also"; so just get rid of "not only" for a moment and read yours again)

About "Continental" confusion

Continents as defined by National Geographic Society:
Africa
Australia
Antractica
Asia
Europe
North America
South America

7 continents, with Europe and Asia being separate continents.


In your statement above it says:


The name of all the CONTINENTS end with the same letter that they start with.
