“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”

I seem to be running out of ‘F’ words for my titles to these. Sorry for the repetition but I’m trying to avoid using the obvious in case it might offend.
Nevertheless, it’s time for a few more strange facts. Curious things that you probably never knew or even though of before. After you read this, of course, you will know them, whether you care to ever think of them again is entirely up to you.

Great velcro factoid … and that’s one heck of a pizza slice …. I’ve already forgot the closing word.
Yeah, that’s my kind of pizza 🙂
Incredible stuff.
Thanks
GRRR! The velcro thing is bugging me to no end. Mind verifying your source on that one? I do see online rumors about it, but according to NASA…..

Hey, come on, do you REALLY think NASA is going to tell you everything? After their embarrassment at spending $millions developing a pen that could write in zero gravity while the Russians spent 10 cents and used a pencil, they’ve been trying to get their own back so they ain’t going to let on they’ve solved the nose scratching problem so simply and cheaply – now are they?
Welcome to my world – it’s great in here 🙂
Fact #36…interesting…cannot think of a word to comment…
Very good!
Who would ever remember the word lethologica? Much less the word you’re trying to remember?
Not me for one 🙂
I passed on the mirror, although my colleagues are wondering what I’m up too!
In the meantime I’m feeling a little sorry for the lady ferrets out there…
Apparently it’s caused by a build up of estrogen. You never hear many male ferrets complaining though 😉
😉 and this fact popped up at pub quiz last night! We had a team called fursty ferrets and the team leader knew exactly what I was talking about. Thank you!
Excellent. Timing is everything 🙂
Man, have I got that lexiconic …. lethargic … leprotic … that word thing going on! Though I think your pizza “area” might be short an acre or two, considering it’s (yes, I’m not kidding) pizza for dinner. 😀
I’m jealous, I love pizza!
I tell ya, anybody who’d ever tell me they don’t, I wouldn’t trust ’em for a SECOND!
