Not a worry....after Tuesday, I'm unemployed. Nothing to do then but move to Hamilton and relax before school kicks in. Until then, I'm all about the money :p

The frog throws up it's stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of it's mouth. Then the frog uses it's forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again.
Kinda badass!

P.S. -Haha, 'crazy'is the new black, so it's actually a compliment Lol! And oh my, it's 6 AM =O, I blame you! Only because I can't blame MacInsiders<3 haha  |
Haha well I didn't mean crazy in a bad way anyways
And don't worry about a few cells, its not like your IQ can go any lower hahaha oh man enough with that I'm joking, I'm sure you're a smart talented young lady

Haha ya the turtle one is funny especially with the use of the word butt haha.
And ya that cheque thing is a lot, but I'm assuming its for the whole world and there are 7 billion of us. But then again over a period of 1 year thats over 190 million cheques. Thats around 6 times the population of Canada.

Ya I knew about this one before, a little weird haha.
Here's another one for ants:
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated.

Yeah, these are a great set of videos. Actually, a bunch of them were played to us during a Youth Can Change the World Symposium this April in Mississauga.
I, along with many others who were there, found it very fascinating.
Great conversation starter. Thanks for this post.

I think the most interesting part of that is that ants get drunk :|

The technical term is a coup-contrecoup injury:

Except a sneeze likely isn't strong enough to have both the 'coup' and the 'contrecoup' parts. |
