  • And for owls its parliament.
  • For ravens its unkindness.

And For Crows it's a 'Murder'

I wonder who came up with all those names for groups of animals. Like a grace of swans... I think they were just being cute.

And for idiots, it's a 'Republic'.

:D

Gaslighting is the process of giving false information to someone until they start to doubt their memory/sanity.

Yes, but why is it called Gaslighting? (I can tell you if you don't know the answer.)

Still kicking. ;)

Which is why coins often have grooves around their edges.

That **is** cool. Never knew that.

To answer the title question: What Nirnaeth Arnoediad means, and what it is.

Yes, but have you spent a not inconsiderable amount of time trying to pronounce it properly?

:P

Named for a play called Gaslight about that very subject; later turned into a movie with Ingrid Bergman, which I have seen. Although my first encounter with the phrase came from the Farscape episode where it happens to Crichton and he calls that out.

A liger is the hybrid offspring of a male lion and a tigress. They can grow to 12 feet long, and weigh up to 1000 pounds (about twice the size of either a lion or tiger).

And a tigon is the hybrid offspring of a male tiger and a lioness.

Edward IV was the tallest King of England

Henry I fathered around 25 illegitimate children that he knew about.

I also know things about fertility that are probably a bit excessive for a normal person. For instance, I happen to know that the absolute soonest a pregnancy test can render a positive result is 6 days post ovulation. If anyone thinks they got a positive test before that, they are mistaken as to when they ovulated. It's more likely that it will take 10 days for a positive result, sometimes longer.

Oppossums have a forked penis.

Turtle penises are half the length if their body.

Billy goats also have a forked penis. Its one long straw like thing with these 2 little feelers coming out of the end. We used to have one & he would pee on his own beard so often that it was yellow :dunno:

Goats pupils are also rectangle. Makes them very creepy IMO.
