Ohio- It is illegal to sell beer while wearing a Santa Claus suit, even if you are a dog.

I didn't know dogs had opposable thumbs strong enough to hold the neck of a beer bottle... )

It could go either way, guys. "And" is clearly not a number, nor is it part of the number, it's just something we often add when speaking the number out loud.

One hundred one
One hundred two
One hundred three...

One oh four
One oh five
One oh six...

One hundred and seven
One hundred and eight
One hundred and nine...


The and is conventional, not part of the number, but I do give a lot of credit to shyvera for the very astute observation, all the same.

Let's not get too technical... "And" is a conjunction, not a #!

Apparently most people fear spiders more than they do death. Why would that be, I wonder? I mean, the worst thing a spider bite can do is kill you.

I remind people daily: There is no bug mightier than a shoe!

-There are 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body.

Just like there are carnivorous plants, there are carnivorous sponges, which trap passing prey with tentacles and engulf them, eventually digesting them. As with carnivory in plants, the sponges resort to this method in environments where their primary nutrient source (particulat matter filtered from the water) is not availible in sufficient quantities.Mokele

Here's another one: there is an ameba size cellular organism called the "slime-mould slug. These amebas gather together in long strands when their food source shrinks. These strands act like worms that move away from the water to a high point, splitting the worm to go around both sides of things. Then they compact themselves one upon the other into an upward-like worm so that those on the top are exposed to any animal that walks by. They are picked up in the animals fur and, like a bee taking pollen, it is spread to a new territory for the slime mold slug.
