Lemon ant very tricky the Lemon ant of South America actively poisons all plants other than the tree in which it lives! Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro first grew his trademark beard because he could not get Gillette razors while hiding in the mountains of Cuba during the 1950s! A rattlesnake can continue to attack and inflict a venomous bite up to an hour after its head is severed!

I grew a beard because I hate shaving. Razor blades are plentiful where I live.

@ drdrake, re:yesterday’s paperweight story.Ah, toes, yes. Doubt in the veracity of this tale is starting to fade away. You mind if I ask, how much did Ripley pay you for a years worth of finger and toenail clippings suspended in acetate? That might start to answer the question, ‘why’. If the answer is good enough I think I’ll start saving the clippings from my cat’s and dog’s claws. With a cat and three dogs I can probably get a paperweight every three months. Monthly, if I add my own! I could make a living at this, if you haven’t already flooded the market!

that body-less snake is too creepy. The ants are treacherous.
