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

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. |

There is a pachycephalosaur (A.K.A. domehead, or bone-headed dinosaur) called Colepiocephale, whose name literally translates to “knuckle head”. 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.

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.

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. |
