Ok this is a thread to post interesting facts n things u have learnt over the years, as trivial as u like.

eg i watched myth busters monday night i think it was and they tested the myth, that elephants are scared of mice.

from there tests, they found that elephants although not terrified into a stampede did in fact go out of there way to avoid mice. conversing

Shell225: Static electricity is what causes petrol to ignite when fueling cars.


also on mythbusters they tested the theory that mobile phones can cause sparks that will ignite fuel vapors while refueling

in there normal tests they could not prove this conversing

A turkey can drown in the rain.

The dim-witted bird will stand looking up watching the falling rain. The water runs down their beak, into their nostrils and down into their lungs, drowning the bird.
