10 times as many people are killed each year by having coconuts fall on their heads than are taken by sharks.
But people don't harpoon coconut palms do they?
The last person to die of a red belly black snake bite in Australia was a 6 year old girl in 1932. She may have lived but her parents failed to seek medical help for 5 days.
Elephants will stop to investigate the bones of any elephant they happen across, but if it was a family member they will recognise the individual and spend a long time in what appears to be a ritual grieving and burial process.
All cats liked creamed sweet corn.
ETA: All parrots like beer and all dogs eat plums and grapes.

Interesting facts. Wish I had some to share but my memory is shit.
As for the planets rotating, can we even say if Uranus is clockwise or anticlockwise since it has axial tilt of around 90 degrees?

More people are killed each year by faulty toasters than by sharks.

The crack a whip makes when you flick it without snapping against something is actually a small sonic boom because it has broken the sound barrier.

If you cut the head off a cockroach the little prick will LIVE ON for another 10 days!! The only reason it dies after 10 days is through starvation because the filthy little bastards can't eat without a mouth.

The only reason it dies after 10 days is through starvation because the filthy little bastards can't eat without a mouth. When you're up the top end and come across a swimming-hole, the best way to check that it's free from crocs is to chuck a dog in and let it swim around for 15-20 mins. If it's still there at the end of that time it's probably pretty safe for you. I never personally threw a dog in a swimming hole - but I went in a few after seeing other people do it. And I never got ett.
