    The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they're replaced every 2 weeks or so. But as a person ages, some of those taste cells don't get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That's why certain foods may taste stronger to young'uns than they do to adults. Smoking also can reduce the number of taste buds a person has.

    this one might be considered useful
    dogs and bees smell fear...as said by the cute little kid in some movie
    truth is we have a flight or fright response built into our instinctual reactions those two aspects cannot be distinguished by a dog because they are chemically the same.
    we produce feremones that dogs can smell. Dogs also use visual cues and can interpret them quickly (not sure about bee's)
    the dog doesn't bite you (or run from you) because he detects fear he believes you are about to fight/attack and he is only engaging in his own fight or flight instinct.

    Its like detente gone wrong

    No, you mean YOU can't touch your elbow with your tongue! Deer fear me. Women want me. Heaven won't have me and hell's afraid of me.

    my nephew (age 5) can touch his elbow with his tongue, he's got a Gene Simmons.

    The rifle on the Seabee combat warfare insignia is a 1903. That's because the 1903 was issued to seabees in ww2.

    In the movie Dr Strangelove the pilot says of the survival kit: "Shoot! A guy could have a great time in Las Vegas with all this" This was dubbed in as it originally said Dallas, but Kennedy had just been shot.
    When Slim Pickens showed up in England for the movie dressed in western garb the production crew thought he was a terrific charactor actor who remained in charactor off camera. They didn't know he was just playing himself.

    The number one main engine propeller shaft of the USS Enterprise is over five hundred feet long, the longest shaft made. At max torque the shaft is twisted 1 1/2 times(at least thats what e told people).

    Costa Rica declared war against Japan after Pearl Harbor before the US.

    Lebow, the French soldier in "Hogan's Heros" was a concentration camp Survivor. Sgt Schultz was played by a jewish refuge.

    I don't know why...they just do...[:0]

    They have only one opening, but then, it diverges into three separate canals, only to join at the uterus.

    Must be very confusing to the kangaroo sperm.[:D]

    i'd hate to be a kangaroo, i have enough trouble finding the g spot in one.[:D]

    You ever seen that "ASK" search engine comercial with the family in the RV. The woman asks her husband whats the difference between brown eggs and other eggs. Then says they dont have yokes?

    Well thats not true, brown eggs have yokes but can be yokeless. white shelled eggs can be yokeless from time to time also, but both are realitively rare. free range eggs vary in size also, but they all taste the same.

    And from my youth I remember that when I wouldnt make a clean connect on head shots on squirrels they would almost always start running around in lop sided circles, i have never figured out why that is.

    In "The Doors" movie that starred Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison, the leading lady part of Jims love interest (first girlfriend and later wife) Pam, was played by Meg Ryan, who won the part in what was said to be a very close competition with Heather Graham (of Rollergirl and Felicity Shagwell fame).

    The famous theme from the Radio, T.V. show and movie "Dragnet." featuring Jack Webb is...

    Danger Ahead. Dum De Dum Dum.

    In the T.V. SHow Sgt. Friday lived in Sliverlake and Bill Cannon lived in Eagle Rock.

    At the time the show was filmed L.A.P.D. and L.A.F.D. officers had to live in L.A. City and thats where most of the Policemen and Firemen lived.
