    I would imagine that it would be very very difficult to keep...especially if you arent experienced in saltwater fishkeeping.

    Did you know there are only like four D-I football teams whose mascots don't end in "s" or don't contain a color?

    Did you know that while working in a Birmingham factory, future Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi accidently chopped off the tips of his index and middle fingers of his right hand, his fretboard hand? Tony was fitted with prosthetic fingertips and learned to play guitar again, but tuned his strings down so he could press them down with his right hand without pain. The lower tuning essentially created heavy metal.

    What about the service academies? Air Force Academy plays D-I athletics, as does Navy and Army.

    Did you know that Jerry Garcia, the late guitarist of the Grateful Dead, had the middle finger of his right (fretboard) hand chopped off with an axe by his brother when he was 5 years old?

    Good thought, but the name was officially switched to "William Marsh Rice University" in the mid 1960s. You'll still see some door handles around campus with "RI" on them, though.

    I've always wondered about this. How or better yet what do they smell? What does fear smell like?

    Did you know that...

    The tiny little seeds on strawberries aren't really seeds - they're the actual fruit. The big red tasty bulbous thing that we eat is actually a receptacle that contains ovaries and other reproductive organs.

    ...if only ALL female reproductive organs tasted like that...
