The fur of the vicuna, a small member of the camel family which live in the Andes mountains of Peru, is so fine that each hair is less than two-thousandths of an inch.

Wetaskiwin, Alberta from 1917: "It's against the law to tie a male horse next to a female horse on Main Street." 3.

sullysue Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 1. I'm confirming my reputation for being an unbalanced nut job by continuing to post this sh*t. 2. When the Apollo 12 astronauts landed on the moon, the impact caused the moon's surface to vibrate for 55 minutes. The vibrations were picked up by laboratory instruments, leading geologists to theorize that the moon's surface is composed of fragile layers of rock. 3. The average porcupine has more than 30,000 quills. Porcupines are excellent swimmers because their quills are hollow and serve as pontoons to keep them afloat.
