In England, it's illegal to die in Parliament? (I heard on a radio show. What would they do, arrest your corpse? :lol )

Also makes me wonder if they'll issue a citation and, more interesting, what form of payment they'll accept :p.

Here's another sea otter fact: did you know that they have the densest fur of any animal? (Over a million hairs per square inch.)

Light filaments from a light bulb will work if they are put into liquid nitrogen and lit. But not in open air very well nor for very long.

That a peanut is neither a pea nor a nut... it is a legume, which makes it more like a bean.

There is a pachycephalosaur (A.K.A. domehead, or bone-headed dinosaur) called Colepiocephale, whose name literally translates to “knuckle head”. :lol Supposedly it was called this because of the vaguely triangular shape of its skull (resembling a knuckle joint), but I still can’t help but wonder if the person who named it was a fan of the Three Stooges. :lol :lol

Did you know that "Bora" (pronounced BOH-RAH) is "excellent" in Swahili yet it's "snow" in Albanian, and "brave" in sanskrit. :D

Did you know that the largest single piece of software I've ever heard of is 564GB? It's an audio application/plugin that is sold on a hard drive, rather than on discs. :p

Did you know that baby powder is flammable?

Yep, I've tested it with a bowl of flaming alcohol and some 17 year old baby powder out on a stone driveway.

Speaking of which, did you know that oxygen is highly flammable, and that water vapor is a greenhouse gas?

Oxygen is not flammable. It is an oxidizer.

Chlorine Trifluoride is one of the strongest oxidizers known. Ever see concrete burn? ClF3 can make it happen.

Technically, oxygen cannot burn by itself, BUT fire requires oxygen to burn... so... it is flammable in that sense.
