The petals of the largest flower are ½ metre (1,6 feet) long?
Quote:
"The largest flower in the world, the rafflesia arnoldi, weighs 7 kg (15 pounds) and grows only on the Sumatra island of Indonesia. Its petals grow to ½ metre (1,6 feet) long and 2,5 cm (1 inch) thick."

At age 47, the Rolling Stones' bassist, Bill Wyman, began a relationship with 13-year old Mandy Smith, with her mother's blessing. Six years later, they were married, but the marriage only lasted a year. Not long after, Bill's 30-year-old son Stephen married Mandy's mother, age 46. That made Stephen a stepfather to his former stepmother. If Bill and Mandy had remained married, Stephen would have been his father's father-in-law and his own grandpa.

did you know that in 1974 thomas pynchon's book gravity's rainbow, which was unamiously selected by judges for the pulitzer prize, was overruled by the pulitzer advisory board and thusly no pulitzer prize for literature was awarded? the one and only time it has ever happened.

Yep same here, not a thing for about two weeks now. I really enjoyed last year, but this year is crap. I’m not going to rant on about it, but when lectures tell you “just email me, I’m busy with my own research at the moment”. Or dropping loads of little hints hear and there about how Marxist they are, but rely on government handouts to pay for equipment and trips to France and Canada for the --- research team.
The lecturers that I had massive respect for last year, have pissed me off so much that I hate them this year. Sad but true.

did you know that the ohio is really the 50th state of america, not hawaii?
ohio supposedly became the 17th state on march 1 1803, but due to an oversight, congress never voted on the resolution untill august 7, 1953.

Yeah well the thing is, this year it’s all prescribed work. Even free projects are based on desired outcomes. Hardly any room for innovation… thats another thing that’s pissing me off.

charles manson is technically not a mass murderer as he did not actually kill anyone. but rather he orchestrated the murders that were carried out by his 'followers'.
