what happened to this thread? it was a great idea and i loved reading all the stuff! i think we should add some more to it. I can't really think of much myself :oops: hmmmm - oh yeah, after changing my hair colour to ginger I changed it back to blond only now it's lighter than it was and i don't really like it. it's not terribly interesting i know but hey...

this kid told me that dr pepper lowers your sperm count. i don't know where he got that information from or why he told me!

THe Privet hedge (genus Ligustrum) is the only other known organism with the same number of chromosomes as humans. THis means that the Privet hedge is also the only known organisim with which a human could be potentially genetically crossed with. I magine that...They'd be well camoflaged wouldn't they?
