Strange But True

Postby TacitBlue » Thu Nov 02, 2006 9:15 pm

I thought this might be fun. Know any weird facts? then share!

For example:

A group of cats is called a clowder. (like a flock of birds, or herd of bison)

Now let's see what you know. ;)

Actually, 1+1=3. You know why? Simple.

One man plus one woman equals a family of three because of the baby. ;D

Shouldn't that be 1+1=x by that logic?

A gaggle of gease

A sleuth of bears

A colony of beavers

A brood of chickens

A brace of bucks

A quiver of cobras

A band of coyotes

A pack of dogs

A pod of dolphins

A drove of donkeys

This is all I can think of so far. My memory really sucks anymore.... :-[
