so... humans:
http://www.ttwebsite.com/features/jo...eydunloppk.jpg have basically the same number of genes as a tiny little nematode worm thing that lives in your back garden... http://madsense5.eng.uci.edu/student...s/image002.jpg AND, most of the genes in this little yoke do much the same thing in Humans. (roughly twenty something genes each...) http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6561 |

Same goes for hydrodynamics. A lot of the good surf kayaks have dimples along their planeing surfaces, to let the boat slide over the water easier. Some golf balls are illegal, because they have designed the dimples so well now that they go too far... The idea is, that the dimples sort of cause a little area of turbulance around the ball, this stops "separation", which is the sort of thing that happens when a wing passes through the air. When the air doesnt separate, and tucks in neatly in behind the ball, it causes less drag. So the ball goes further. |

If Barbie were lifesize her measurements would be 39-23-33, she would be 7'2" tall and have a neck twice as long as a normal human's. There isn't a single reference to a cat in the Bible. The Basenji is the only dog that cannot bark. Gram for gram, a Bumble Bee is 150 times stronger than an Elephant. Of all the species of Mammals on the planet, almost a quarter of them are types of Bat. A Blue Whale's tongue weighs more than an Elephant. 'In one of the bard's best thought of tragedies, our insistent hero, hamlet, queries on two fronts about how life turns rotten'... ...is actually an anagram of... ... 'To be or not to be; that is the question, whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune'! |
