The irukanji Jellyfish has one of the most painful stings on the planet. The pain level is said to be second only to giving birth 😬

There are 18 doctors in America called Dr. Doctor, and one called Dr. Surgeon. There is also a skin specialist called Dr, Rash, a psychiatrist called Dr. Couch, and an anesthesiologist called Dr. Gass. I know a dentist called Dr. Toothacher. :cool:

The term Chemistry comes from the term Alchemy. What was once theoretical mumbo jumbo turned into a science. Also the term Alchemy much like magic is an over used term in anime and rpgs (seriously it's not hard to make up words, call it something else!😡🙄)

Mortal Kombat was the first fighting game to feature a separate button for blocking (fighting games at the time used "Back" to block) Mortal Kombat and a game called Night Trap prompted Ratings to be on U.S copies (Similar to movie ratings) and other countries followed suit

According to one of my cousins (who does a lot of family research), I'm a distant descendant of William the Conqueror.

Haven't verified it on my own, though.

Theodore Roosevelt was not only the relation of FDR, but Eleanor as well. She was ( I think) his niece

In Alaska it's legal to shoot a bear; waking one to take a picture isn't. :cool:

When a cat boops you with it’s nose or cheek it’s referred to as “bunting.” Cats have scent glands on their cheeks so that when they rub up against something they’re saying “this is mine.” Or in a human’s case it means “This is my person.”

The Teddy Bear was Named after Theodore Roosevelt. It was in honor of him refusing to shoot a cub. He was an avid hunter but did alot to help wildlife during his time in office.

Coffee is made from coffee beans. Coffee beans come from the coffee plant, a large shrub or bush. Beans are found in the center of coffee cherries, the fruit that grows on coffee plants. Coffee plants grow all over the world, particularly in Central/South America, Africa, and Asia.
