In South Korea, people catch a baby octopus, dip it in oil and swallow it whole while it's still alive. But the octopus tries to stay alive by gripping on with its tentacles to the throat of the person eating it as they're swallowing.

Oh man...Now THAT sounds nasty. Why do they want an octopus gripping their throat?!? I'd throw up in a second!!!

Did you know the word "cephalopod" (the class octopus belong to) generally means "head-foot"?

R. Buckminster Fuller tried to popularize the use of geodesic domes and spheres throughout the 1940's. They offer many advantages over other structures.

However, Fuller didn't create the geodesic dome, he just sought to popularize it. The geodesic dome was invented by Walter Bauersfeld in 1922. The first was built that same year in Jena, Germany.

Geodesic domes are fun because none of the triangles around their surface are the same. In addition to the sphere found in Epcot, Buckminster Fuller was also responsible for the United States Pavilion at Expo '67

...so, there's more information about domes than you could've ever hoped for.

Did you know that cats have over 100 different sounds while dogs have only ten?

Did you know that the Matrix:Reloaded comes out the 15th? You should already be in line waiting.

So I went back and looked up that info in my Geometry book, and it indeed says that Fuller created the geodesic dome.

mwahaha. /me jumps on math, stomping and kicking up a storm!

In some tropical countries - lungfish can survive periods of drought - when lakes and rivers dry up - by burying themselves in the mud. The mud soon becomes hard baked in the sun and they stay there - breathing through a tiny air passage to the outside world - until the next rains come. They can live in these pits in the mud for up to 4 years and are unable to move until the rains return - the ground gets muddy and the pit dissolves.
