Little Known Fact Thread

Did you guys see that Monkey Trial Two is on in Dover, PA?

It may get nasty. The first day, a witness for the plaintiffs said that since 99% of all species ever on Earth are now extinct, the Intelligent Designer could not have been very intelligent. :O

This might get ugly. . . Too bad no cameras are allowed inside.



As to little known facts, and in trying to be completely on topic for the thread:

An opossum has two peni, or penises, penae, or whatever. Two dicks. Okay one dick, but it's forked.

This is a product of evolution. A great opossum plague swept North America roughly two thousand years ago (by the fossil record and carbon dating). Only males were wiped out. Females then began to "associate" with each other. Only males able to please two at once survived and reproduced-- leading to the double-penis modification.

Snakes have this as well (not sure as to the evolutionary reason though), but it's called hemi-penis for them.

Tecumseh's Curse was first placed on William Henry Harrison who slaughtered the Shawnee at Tippecanoe. Tecumseh, considered a prophet by his people, pronounced that every President elected in a year that ended in "0" would die. Harrison died one month after his election. Since then Lincoln(1860), Garfield(1880), McKinley(1900), Harding(1920), F.D.Roosevelt(1940), J.F.K (1960), have all died in office. Regan broke Tecumseh's curse, although he was shot and came very close.
