They do the hard beautiful work!

A group of flamingos is called a “flamboyance.”

Sudden thought: What if we're like gods to the insects of the world? So that fly I blew off my arm today thought I was the Wind Goddess that it had somehow angered. Maybe it went home and sacrificed its first born child in order to please me. Maybe the other flies found out it had angered me and shunned it from their group. Maybe his/her husband/wife fly divorced him/her so he/she didn't have to face my wrath.

I may have possibly ruined this poor fly's life.

Ummm... Does an old Unfriendable post count?

I don't think fly's can even think. Like what are other flies to flies? They don't call them flies, the name fly is human made, so what do they call each other. Also flies don't 'call' either!??!?!?

I have often wondered why they call them 'apartments' when they are all stuck together?!

Also, water can boil at room temperature, and even lower if conditions are right.

Copy and Pasted -
The word “apartment” comes from the French word appartement and the Italian word appartimento, both of which mean “a separated place.”
If you think about it, it makes sense. Even though all the apartments within a single building are indeed stuck together, they are also apart from each other. Each apartment is a separate residence apart from the others!
Apartment buildings are often owned by a single owner who then rents out the individual apartments to people who are called tenants. Apartments that are owned by their tenants are often called condominiums. In Great Britain, apartments are usually called “flats.”

Just to expand on this with a nerdy fact, there's a certain temperature and pressure at which water is present in all three states of matter (gas, liquid, solid).

I love to assimilate useless pieces of trivia related to all sorts of subjects

You know there is a room that has been specially made ( not sure how ), but it is the quietest room in the world. It absorbs noise so well that you can heard your own blood flowing through your veins. The longest time spent in that room was only 45 mins before the person couldn't handle it.lol.

I saw a documentary with that in it. Ppl were going insane sitting in the room because without sound their body started making noises in their own minds because no sound isn't normal. I wouldn't last 5 min in it!!
