Tell Me Something I Don't Know

[CAPTAINZING2000]

This should be easy. Find something or, recall something that most people don't know and put it here







Weeks into the fall semester of 1997, MIT freshman Scott Krueger died from complications caused by alcohol poisoning. Members of Scott's fraternity pledge class and other brothers of Phi Gamma Delta foolishly put together a binge drinking “bonding” event they called “Animal House.”



Following Scott's death, questions regarding responsibility, decision-making, alcohol abuse and hazing encompassed Phi Gamma Delta, also known as Fiji's, national headquarters. A multi-million dollar lawsuit was filed, and one condition that came from this litigation stated that Phi Gamma Delta would further education with college students regarding the dangers of alcohol abuse and hazing, in addition to binge drinking. As a result, an amazing video entitled “Tell Me Something I Don't Know” was created, featuring individuals involved with the actual events surrounding Scott Krueger's death.

Hmmmmn...believe it or not, I used to win a lot of bets with this one while sitting around a bar. Actually, I got an extra kick out of taking money from people who should have known the answer.

I think the Seahorse? Yaaay! I was right, and your websight link confirmed it!

Do you know how to tell the difference between male frogs and female frogs?
(Unless, of course, you're a frog!)

[Here4Him]

To distinguish between the male and the female bullfrog; if you look on the side of their heads by their eyes you’ll see what we call the ears or tympanums.
Now on a normal bullfrog that we have here, the North American bullfrog, the tympanum or the ear on a male frog is at least twice as big as the one in a female.
The female’s tympanum is about as big as her eye.

So in the process of determining whether you’ve got a female frog or a male frog, if you just look behind the eye and you see this giant tympanum or ears as its called, you’ll know that you have a male frog if its very big or you got a female if it is small.

I cheated and looked it up

My question: A quick and easy home-remedy for a yowling/howling kitty in heat?

[Jersey Nonny]

The answer to the frog question, I learned in Biology 101. The male frog has huge "thumbs" compared to the females skinny ones. He squeezes the eggs out of her tummy with his great big appendages. So, there!!!

[Here4Him]

Isnt that ironic...and in human repro it is the big appendages being squeezed that starts the whole shibang

[cwohio]

that's a matter of opinion! LOL

(Geez...I guess you HAVE to be a from the Burg ...)

[Jersey Nonny]

in human repro it is the big appendages

Hmmmmmn...I always thought it was not so much quantity, but quality, that matters. Of course, it has been a while, but I don't think I would have forgotten that much.

Is that what you call that thing?? LOL

[Little Missy]

Actually, I killed all of my plants after I had children. No time to take care of them. And one less thing to worry about.

I didn't go through twelve years of Catholic school for nothing.
The Immaculate Conception is the concept/idea/theology that Mary was born without original sin.
Most people think the term refers to Mary becoming pregnant with Jesus without having had sex with a man.
And rae, I'm laughing my ass off that you won bets in a bar on that one.

[minnie]

One of my fave Eddie Izzard quotes -

"Original sin! What a hellish idea that is. People have to go -

“Father, bless me for I have sinned, I – I did an original sin – I – I poked a badger with a spoon.”

“I’ve never heard of that one before! Five Hail Mary’s and two Hello, Dolly’s.”

.......

“Bless me, Father, for I have slept with my next door neighbor’s wife.”

“Heard it. I want an original sin.”

“Oh, I’m terribly sorry.” "

[Gabe]

I've never had much truck with the idea of original sin.
One of the many Catholic doctrines I've taken issue with over the years.
The idea that we are born "stained" with some kind of sin on our souls is really ghastly.

[CAPTAINZING2000]

O MY!!!!!! Might be born with it. It's the action that gets us in trouble as we age


What % of our water do we actually drink?????
















We drink very little of our drinking water. Generally speaking, less than 1% of the treated water produced by water utilities is actually consumed. The rest goes on lawns, in washing machines, and down toilets and drains.
