Does anyone remember that comedy called the Dinosaurs?

It was about a bunch of dinosaurs and I used to love it.

Well, I made up my own animal fact and through telling it to people again and again I came to believe it was true. It turns out however that it's false.

I've been telling gullible people for weeks that if a giraffe falls over, it dies because it cannot get back up and therefore cannot eat leaves. They obviously eventually become a 'sitting duck' (or, more accurately, a lying giraffe) for predators, who eat the gangly, helpless creatures.

Apparently though, this is not true. In fact, they even sleep lying down. I always assumed the slept propped up against a tree.

As life goes on, more and more of my wonderful delusions are taken from me.

My ex used to think that giraffe's things that come out of their heads which look like antennae actually had eyes on them. Seriously. You know, like in the cartoons, with eye lashes magically hovering just a few inches above. Yeah.

Also, I have a theory that Rhinos are the last remaining dinosaurs, having been driven undercover, hence the subtle name change - Rhinosaurs/Rhinocerous - see? Eventually they will rise again and overcome us puny humans and have us carry out their every will and want. It's written in the stars - or in this post at least.

too bad the date they had arranged for world domination was the same day tranquilizers were made. looool

By rights Giraffes should die of high blood pressure every time they bend down to drink water.

However, the delicate design in their necks eliminates this risk. When they bend down, the valves in their neck vessels are shut down and they prevent excess blood from flowing to the brain.

Another interesting fact I learned whilst in Central America is that the majestic Quetzal tropical bird which lives in the higher rainforests of Central America is becoming endangered because of Global Warming. Apparantly Tucans move higher in the forests to avoid the warming temperatures and have started eating the Quetzal eggs.

Al Gore would just love me.

My friend had a toucan as a pet when she was a kid (they grew up in Ecuador). She managed to accidentally choke it to death while feeding it. Whoops.

Toucan play that game!

Parents have been going around for many years telling poor children that birds and bees somehow combine to make children.

You can't top that no matter how hard you try.

;)

women are birds and ( according to women) most men are "bees" , so it's not that far fetched

Is that "bees" as in derivation from the word 'business' or is it merely reference to little pricks?
