Female kangaroos have three vaginas.   


This set-up is shared by all marsupials â€" the group of mammals that raise their young in pouches. Koalas, wombats and Tasmanian devils all share the three-vagina structure. The side ones carry sperm to the two uteruses (and males marsupials often have two-pronged penises), while the middle vagina sends the joey down to the outside world.

Note that the ureters, which carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, pass through the gaps between the three tubes. In placental mammals, like us, the ureters develop in a different way, and don’t go through the reproductive system. As we develop, the precursors to the reproductive tubes eventually fuse into a single vagina. In marsupials, this can’t happen.

Did he start 100 years ago today?

Haha, Gravity, now you made me look the dude up.  Halliburton was a sickly kid of 16, 100 years ago.  At first I thought he was going to be a spoiled rich kid whose dad was the famous oil well dude, but he wasn't.  Looks like he went on adventures for the purpose of writing books.  This worked pretty good for him until he took off in a Chinese junk to sail across the Pacific Ocean to the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco.  He never showed up.

Ha that is funny!  But the explanation given doesn't ring true.  How does perming save money?  Seems like old ladies used to be in their beauty parlors every week.  And the idea of being "trapped by his look" is an interesting one.  If he suddenly showed up with straight hair, revealing it had been a perm, was he afraid people would think it he was vain?

I'm thinking he just liked the 'fro.

I once showed my daughter the YouTube video of this which ended by saying that it would take an airplane 1,100 years to fly around the largest star once. This freaked her out.

The second refrigerator in my garage shit the bed today, I kept hearing a clicking sound and i thought it was my deep cycle battery charger because sometimes it makes the same clicking sound. So i unplug it and i could still hear it clicking then I'm like aww shit it's the fridge. Sure enough the stuff in the freezer was beginning to thaw out . I was just going to buy a new one because it's pretty old. But i decided to check out replacement parts to see if i could figure out what it was.

Put the model number in on a online parts house then searched for relays. One was inside the freezer for some kinda defrost and the other was under the fridge on the compressor where the clicking sound was coming from. Online parts house wanted $48 for it so i just cut and pasted the part number to ebay and found the same genuine Whirlpool relay for $28 and will be here by Friday.

Fixing appliances is stupid easy and cheap if you put the effort into finding the problem saved me $800-$1000

I'm not surprised. Its aeroplane, not airplane. No wonder she freaked out.

Speaking of which the odds of a plane crash are one for every 1.2 million flights, with odds of dying one in 11 million. Your chances of dying in a car or traffic accident are one in 5,000.

Yeah, but it's much harder to make a left at the light.

The famous Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13 ...) is encoded within the number 1/89, which = 0.01 + 0.001 + 0.0002 + 0.00003 + 0.000005 + 0.0000008 + 0.00000013 + 0.000000021 + 0.0000000034 … and so on forever.

When I use Micro$ucks little calculator tool to do the 1/89 operation I get:   0.01123595505617977528089887640449 (if I transcribed the number correctly). 

I got all excited triggered by this "little fact" due to 89 being the 24th or 25th prime number (depending on the definition of a prime, I incorrectly include 1 as a prime or golden number since I am insane, heh has to do with my case that there is only one prime number namely -1)

Anyhow, you think this is some sort of Bill Gates plot to suppress my OCD prime number fixation, rounding error or small factual error?

Why you lie to us secret squirrel?

Hey Pate - here is your cheat sheet

Hey Pate - here is your cheat sheet

Ah, I see that it is a Sum operation of a sort, if one takes the set of Fibonacci numbers and divides each successive iteration n by 10^n (or the inverse of 10^n) then does a Sum function you get that result.  hah, my faith is restored in the secret squirrel.  thanks for the tip off, GS.  I missed that vital bit in my rush to verify.

Guess I am still in school!
