Did you know that there was a study that lasted for 80 years in which 200,000 ostriches were observed, and that throughout the entire study there was not a single reported case of an ostrich either burying its head in the sand or obviously attempting to do so.

Here are some interesting cat facts:

Did you know:
Cat urine glows in the dark. Turn off the lights to see it.

A cat cannot see directly under its nose. That explains why it may have a hard time finding tiny treats on the floor.

Cats can't taste sweets.

Every cat's nose pad is unique, and no two nose prints are the same.

Did you know I'm going to be REALLY nice and considerate to future Megaforce members who do not attend New Tech High? Because I really hate the feeling of being left out and wouldn't want to inflict that feeling on anyone else.

The Mint issued two-cent and three-cent coins during the latter 1800s.

Did you know that actually there are monsters under your bed? Well, actually, they're just dust mites and they do live under your bed. They feed on your dead skin.

(That was from a book I have about microscopic organisms and many other things in your home)

I'm only posting this because it is one of the few things I learned in geometry.

The man who created the geodesic pattern used on the 'giant golf ball' at Walt Disney World was named R. Buckminster Fuller, thereby gaining the early monument the name of the 'Bucky Ball'.

I asked this way back at the 2002 Nationals, and although nobody in line or on my team knew the answer, an elderly woman a couple lines over shouted out the answer.
