Random animal facts

Only one breed of frog actually goes 'ribbit', and that happens to be a breed that lives in Hollywood, so naturally it was recorded and put in every film that's ever had a frog and distributed around the world

There is breed of chimp that will wash his potatoes in the ocean because he likes the taste of them salted

when two colonies of coral grow too close to each other, they launch an all out war. the polyps from both colonies unleash tentacles many times their own body lengths and attempt to digest members of the other colony. the wining coral is the one that lives the longest

cats and dogs are not colorblind. Though their sensitivity to light of differing wavelengths (that would be different colors) is low. In fact, most mammals (save the primates) have low color sensitivity. Avians, fish, turtles/tortoises etc all have a higher sensitivity to color than most mammals.

Naked mole rats appear to have a high resistance to cancer; cancer has never been observed in them. The mechanism that stunts cancer is a gene called p16, known as an "over-crowding" gene, which prevents the creation of new cells once a group of cells reaches a certain size. Most mammals, including naked mole rats, have a gene called p27 which does a similar task, but prevents cellular reproduction at a much later point than p16 does. The combination of p16 and p27 in naked mole rats creates a double-layered barrier that prevents the formation of cancer cells. Hypersensitivity to contact inhibition may be the reason for the cancer resistance of the naked mole rat.

The largest of the segmented worms is the African giant earthworm, Microchaetus rappi. This huge worm can reach a length of as much as 6.7 m (22 ft)

LulzSec aren't hackers, they are fucking scriptkiddies who use prewritten code and DDoS with botnets

They target random sites and games in the name of "improving security" when all they're doing is giving the government more and more reasons to pass some "internet safety" bill that might lead to censorship. I really hope these guys rot in prison
