The Chameleon can focus its eyes seperately to watch two objects at once.

A cat uses its whiskers to determine if a space is too small to squeeze through

Anyone got any 'facts'?

Fact:-
New members should post a few things about themselves in the 'Introduce Yourself' thread.
Just a few facts so that other members can get to know them.

you can legally shoot a welshman with a bow and arrow from the walls of york castle,between the hours from sundown to sunrise

you can still be hung for killing a swan,as it is a treasonable offence as they are owned by the queen.

If you die without making a will
....no living relatives are traced
....instead of the country getting what you leave
....Lizzie gets it if you lived in Lancs
....and Big Ears if you lived in Cornwall

The one caught over there was, in comparison to the Canadian fish, a mere tadpole:D Over here, we would toss that one back.;)

I love fishing (and old farts in Ontario can fish sans licence:theband:). As the saying goes: "Give a man a fish, and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he will sit out in a boat all day drinking beer":alright:

Thought that was in Chester ? Mind you, don't suppose it really matters where it is if you're turning them into "Taffy Apples". ;) :)
