| All the clocks in the movie Pulp Fiction are stuck on 4:20, except for one scene, where it's 7:16.

| For vacation, most people want to visit Las Vegas. Though, people who live in Vegas, mostly, can't wait to get the hell out.
I would know, I live in Vegas.

Many people call them "Koala Bears", when they are in fact, not bears. They are marsupials, and carry their young in a pouch until they are old enough to cling to the mothers back.
Another thing is that Koalas do not hibernate, something that bears do every year.

| A frogs tongue is attached to the front of its mouth, unlike a humans which is attached at the back. This is so that when it grabs an insect the tongue snaps back and sends it down its throat.

| Grapes are not good at all for dogs to eat. It's something about their composition i think, that doesn't let them have it.

| Dogs also cannot/should not eat onions. They are lethal.

| In the original concept for the cartoon Pocahontas, her animal companion was going to be a talking turkey named Redfeather who would have been voiced by John Candy. He died before the project got off the ground and the character was scrapped and replaced with Miku the raccoon.

| The little bits of plastic between things when they're molded in a factory? They're called sprue. And the little circles of paper from when you use a hole punch? They're called chads.

| I could mention aglets here, but instead I'll give a science lecture.
Water is the most amazing chemical compound ever. It's also rather bizarre, simply because of it's composition of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. This compostion means that water can be called hydrogen monoxide, or dihydrogen monoxide, but it also means that the molecules can attach to each other quite strongly. The existance of a negatively polarized oxygen atom attracts the hydrogen protons of other water molecules, sticking the lot together in a dense liquid or a very regular solid. This polarization of the molecule also makes water a near-universal solvent; that is, so many things can become split into their constituent ions and attach to the water molecules.
Basic fact? Water is amazing.

| I'm not saying it's funny when people die, but there are time where it could obviously been prevented, it's just sad.
In 1985 a New Orleans man drowned at a party attended by 100 lifeguards who were celebrating having made it through the summer without a drowning at a city pool.

Not only does water have this polarisation, but the electronegativity difference between oxygen on hydrogen means that the water molecule is almost ionic, and indeed often separates into H+ and OH- ions, meaning that water can carry electric charge. These near-ionic bonds add to the already strong intramolecular forces, meaning that, unlike other molecules its size (eg methane), water is liquid at room temperature, providing the foundation for all life on Earth.
In short, I agree with Kath; Water is amazing!
(so nice to meet a fellow nerd)

Water is also the only chemical that can be found naturally on Earth in all three states: liquid, solid, and gas.

And unlike most substances, water is larger in its solid form than in its liquid form. This is because the aforementioned polarity locks the molecules in a regular pattern (like a mesh), rather than all squished together like other solids. The fact that ice is less dense than water is the reason why it floats!
