Oooooh I already knew cows can swim, I guess years of watching cowboy movies with my Dad did have an educational value after all :D
I have tracked down a list of which plants are non-toxic to cats.
http://www.moggies.co.uk/nontoxix.html
found out what a " tenrec" is, what "crepuscular" means and the aformentioned " tenrec" talk by rubbing it's quills together... but only the striped ones as far as we know;)
all explained here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_9392000/9392070.stm):)
That some fat half naked guy with a dog strapped to his chest dancing is really, really sad and unnerving.
Tomorrow's weather isn't looking that bad.
Oh and there's nothing on TV after 9pm.
etc etc etc...... :D
That aliens are abducting us :shocked:
That the Swiss have guns. Lots of guns.

That there's far too much porn and how to change the bearings on my washing machine.
That Elvis is dead, and bacon's £10.49 a loaf. Oh, and the world is so depressing.

Guys this thread isn't about what you found on the internet but instead that the internet has taught you a fact that you never knew before.. We learn continuously through life so please keep the thread on track.

I am sick and tired of green flashing boxes on this forum that demand my attention just as the doorbell or phone does :(
I'm under enough scrutiny as it is - I don't want flashing boxes from uninviteds.
Rant over and I'm off me soapbox :)

Checked out a new forum this morning 'cause I thought I ought to see what retired people are like and what is expected of me in this new chapter of my life .... I learned that not all forums are worth the effort. I don't do lunch, don't intend to grow old gracefully, and I don't have grandkids to brag about. Seems you lot will just have to put up with me for a good while longer because I sure as bobbins don't fit in over there. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/02/17.gif
