I don't find this useless so much as hilarious, but here's a random fact that a friend told me yesterday. Apparently, the Panda can take so long digesting its food that the bamboo actually ferments in its stomach. This causes the Panda to get drunk and fall out of trees.

@ Blueshift: I was vegetarian for a year, though I'm not anymore. Meat ferments in our stomachs.

Wouldn't know about the meat fermenting, I'm a vegetarian myself! 😛

The phrase "Bob's your uncle" comes from another of Britains violent ecapades into Afghanistan. In 1878, lord Frederick Roberts was responsible for the lifting of the siege of Kandahar, the slaughter of hundreds of Afghans, and much further meddling. Despite all this, he was exceptionally kind to his men - thus they began to refer to him as uncle Bob!

Thats rather interesting 🙂 didnt know that. Did you know that the British swear sign of raising only the index and middle finger (making the V shape) at somebody originated from the medieval times. It is said that during french invasion of Britain, British arches that were imprisioned had these particular fingers cut off so that they could never yield a bow again. So British archers b4 battle would drop their weapons walk to the front line and stick up the two fingers at the enemy to show that they could shoot them with their bows. haha

so think about that next time u flick the V's at someones 😛 ur basically saying 'OI! i can shoot you with a bow BITCH !!! ' 😛 hahaa
:blush😉😎lol:huhwub😛issed
