Although some of these facts are already known....what caught my attention wes number 2 2· In Turkish, the bird we call a Turkey is called "Hindi" ("from India" . In India, it's called "Peru." In Arabic, the bird is called "Greek chicken"; in Greek it's called "French chicken"; and in French it's called "Indian chicken." The bird is indigenous to none of these places. Epic.... |

Kasimaramma2:it was daytime |

i never believe in this endtime hoax....We're keeping score in terms of Believers vs. Non-Believers, when the battle is between Terrible People vs. Good People. If you're willing to fight for a good cause by expending money or time in a world where we're constantly strapped in....by making the world a better place in all our endavours....you can worship Amadioha for all I care |
valmunich:He without sin should cast the first stone |
there are so many things that affect the average Nigerian child. We are talking about undernourishment, access to safe and clean drinking water, enrollment in primary school, access to treated mosquito net and a host of others before talking about implementing Universal Concept Of Mental Arithmetic System (UCMAS) in Nigeria |
This post filled with Urban Legend and Stereotypes that makes you want to believe what you're not |
You just said my mind op.....nice one |
¤all the street light were switched off¤ ¤There was no moon¤ ¤the car's headlights were also off¤ Hmm..... Ans: It was daytime! |
well done guys.....*feeling at home* |
plateau gubernetorial election is a "DU" or die affair |
I cannot say any better but what i know is that no matter who is elected, the demographic and economic realities of Nigeria will persist and sorry to say there is a very limited range of politically-viable solutions for dealing with them. |
i'm addicted to cold water and i just cant help it |
Jossites we cannot continue to keep quiet in the face of oppression. We must not take to the streets to protest as this might once again be hijacked by hoodlums, bt we can all decide not to pay this outrages fee being demanded for by the VC which amounts to millions; millions of naira. All of us cannot be stopped from writing the exams if we cooperate. Injustice was protested...a victimization committee was set up...but they need a final ingredient to achieve this wicked plan, and that's our cooperation. Pls pls pls and pls let's not let then have that. Let's call upon the UNIJOS alumni that have been painfully silent. Some of us have parents in public offices...let's call upon our parents even if it means organising a PTA meeting like way back in sec sch. Now that the school have decided to even exploit us more despite not meeting the early requests, let's let the world know and speak till this unfounded money for damages is removed...till the 10,000 naira dev. levy is removed...till the 10,000 naira late reg. levy is removed... till our suspended SUG officials(if true) are recalled. Am sure even lecturers that do not benefit from this act of greed will buy into this. Let's cry out loud. NANS come in... Faculty of law, come in... Ministry of Education, come in... NBA, come in... Civil societies in Nigeria come in... Jossites, stay in... Let's say no to to exploitation! Let's speak with one voice and victory will be certain. Students should be treated like humans or the VC should step down for another who can. Please pass this message around. |
2. Leopard Seal Seals are the cutest, sweetest, most adorably helpless-looking things ever. There's no way in hell seals could ever be anything but cuddly tubs of lard. They just eat fish, right? That assumption goes right out the window when the leopard seal opens its mouth and you find out it's part dinosaur. Leopard seals will wait in shallow water or under ice ledges where penguins like to hang out. When the little guys jump into the water, the seal shoots out and grabs it. After it catches its prey, the seal slaps the penguin across the surface of the water to skin it before eating it. Or, if it's feeling particularly merciful, just bites off its head.

3 Olive Babbons Olive baboons -- like all monkeys -- are actually opportunistic omnivores. That means they eat whatever they think looks delicious. This is usually just grass and plants and stuff. In fact, baboons are known to peacefully graze next to gazelles. But every once in a while, like a man forced to subsist on salad for too long, they decide enough is enough and they want some meat right damn now. And that's when their peaceful co-existence with the rest of the world ends. Those gazelles the olive baboon likes to hang out with? They do double duty as fluffy animal friends and a snack cabinet. At any given moment, a baboon may decide he wants him some gazelle. So he nonchalantly walks up to the grazing gazelles, pretending to be uninterested and doing whatever the baboon equivalent of whistling is. Then he just suddenly bolts at whatever looks like it runs away the slowest. Yes, of course this is usually a baby gazelle. Once the baboon catches the African Bambi, he unceremoniously kills it by beating and biting it. Then he holds it in his hands like a water melon. YUCK!

4. Long-Tailed Weasel Oh, come on now. Weasels? They do probably hunt mice or something, like pretty much every small carnivore. But a long- tailed weasel on a list of ferocious killers? No way. Look at that little fella -- it's just a fluffy hot dog with legs. The long-tailed weasel likes to kill by wrapping its body around its prey, then crushing the prey's skull by biting it. Long-tailed weasels are genetically hardwired to commit mass murder. They kill whenever they can and store the food for later, but rarely visit their corpse stashes because they prefer their food "alive and quivering." They also lap the blood from the wounds they inflict, and as the icing on the serial killer cake, they make their nests out of the fur of their victims.

5. Giant Otters Otters are some of the cutest, most innocent-looking animals on the planet Giant otters live in South America, where they primarily feed on perch, large catfish and characins, such as piranhas. They hunt in packs (hence the nickname), corraling fish into shallow water for easy pickings. When feeding cubs, they beat up the fish within an inch of its life but leave it hanging -- so that the cute otter babies can have fresh food. Another delicacy on the giant otter menu is the anaconda, which you may remember as the largest damn snake on Earth. A small group of giant otters will swim up to and grab the snake, then start biting and clawing it. They will bash the anaconda against tree trunks and, if they feel particularly badass, employ a technique described by a biologist as "tug-of-war with an animated fire hose." Yes, giant otters can reduce the most powerful snake on the planet to a mere plaything.

Mother Nature's favorite gag is giving vicious predators the bodies of harmless fuzzballs. Here are the six deadliest animals we may keep as pet when approahed 6. When someone mentions roadrunners, you probably think of a tall, skinny bird that runs really fast, goes "Meep meep" and routinely outwits cartoon coyotes. And while Warner Bros. did get some things right (the birds are capable of flight, but choose to just run around really fast), cartoons are rarely accurate sources for the aspiring ornithologist. Roadrunners are almost exclusively carnivorous . The diet they follow is not the wimpy "small furry things" sort, either. Try rattlesnakes. The roadrunner just sinks its beak into the snake, promptly lifts it high into the air and repeatedly smashes it into the ground until it is tenderized enough to swallow whole. This technique, according to scientists, "subjects the prey to an outward force away from the center of rotation, in this case, the center of rotation being the roadrunner's face." More importantly, it does it like a boss. That there, friends, is a goddamn finishing move. It even has a name: the Centrifugal Slam. Oh, and the roadrunner also eats other birds. It doesn't even fly after them -- instead, it just jumps in the air and snatches them as they pass. And then: the Centrifugal Slam.
