A lightning strike will leave a tattoo on your body.
They are fractal patterns and it's called a Lichtenberg figure |

Only about 10% of people struck by lightning die. 90% of people struck by lightning survive.

It's amazing how people do not understand what's going on, when they ask, "Should I get 18's or 19's or 20's."
If you say, 18's, because with 19's you have one less inch of rubber and more unsprung weight. They not only don't seem to understand, they'll come back and ask, "But with 19's, if I'm going 60 mph, how long will it take me to go 60 miles, compared to the 18's?" It's like our entire public school system is failing these days. |

The peregrine falcon is the world's fastest animal, reaching speeds of 175 to 200
miles per hour when swooping. For land animals it is...no, not Cheetahs. It's a little mite that can run the equivalent of 1,300 miles per hour |

http://time.com/82120/and-the-worlds...est-animal-is/ http://newswatch.nationalgeographic....-mites-record/ Since an insect can't travel is segments of miles per hour we'd have to scale the animal up in order to use that measure hence the extrapolation to a human's size... "At its quickest, the sesame seed-size Paratarsotomus macropalpis zips along at about 322 body lengths per second (a measure of speed that shows how quickly an animal moves relative to its size). For a human, that’d be like running 1,300 miles (2,000 kilometers) an hour." |

Here's a test. Go to a zoo, jump the wall at the elephant exhibit. You're a lot smaller than that elephant. Kick one in the dangly bits. Start running at a slower pace than the elephant. Get back to me about relative speed.

It was about relative speed not absolute speed. If you want to do a test, take it to the scientists that presented the data ---and elephants don't run, some would argue. |

If a blue defended takes a goal kick, it leaves the penalty box and then strikes the referee and rebounds back into the blue goal, the correct restart of the game is a corner kick (for red or you don't get full credit)

As an Angeleno, the full name of Los Angeles is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula"... But not only do most locals not know it, most people just call it "LA".
Dr. Seuss pronounced his name so that it would rhyme with rejoice ("Soice")... Not to mention it's the proper way to pronounce it in German. A female ferret will die if it goes into heat and cannot find a mate.
