Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

A cat's terminal velocity is about 60mph which is non-fatal. You can throw a cat out of the 7th floor or higher and it'll orientate itself and spread itself out to land with less injuries than from the 6th floor. Please DO NOT throw cats out of buildings to verify this.

Didn't work on the poor cat that some fecking low life not too far from where I live, threw off a flats balcony.

Im friends with the RSPCA inspector that dealt with the prosecution as it happens, the scrote did time over it and got a few slaps for it inside apparently.

So please folks, don't do it or i will personally see to it you suffer

All Clown Fish are born male, a mature male turns female once the female of the group dies.

On September 12, 1951, former middleweight champion Sugar Ray Robinson defeats Randy Turpin to win back the belt in front of 61,370 spectators at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Robinson, a New York City native, had lost the belt to Turpin two months prior in Turpin’s native London.

Paraphrasing:

There are estimated to be between 20,000 and 25,000 human protein-coding genes.

Surprisingly, the number of human genes is less than two times greater than that of many much simpler organisms, such as the roundworm and the fruit fly. However, a larger proportion of human genes are related to central nervous system and especially brain development.
