I was 12 when I learned that chickens in Florida do in fact have wings. My mom just ate both wings from the fried chicken bucket on the way home and lied about it. My uncle (from England) believed the same lie. XD

We honestly don't know. Australian horses MAY be poisonous, but to find out, someone would have to eat one, and the horse always kills the aggressor with their venom first.

On a somewhat related note, I also happen to know that among those 'harmless fake items', there are many places where if you asked for '3D graph paper', they'd hand you an isometric drawing pad, which used to be pretty common in engineering, architecture and industrial design.

I pronounce German and Germany with a hard “G” sound. Also, inspired by a meme I now pronounce testicles, spectacles etc… like Hercules. Oh, and I say Godzilla instead of god bless you when people sneeze I think that is also a memes fault.

#23 3D graph paper does exist. It can either be isometric (triangular) grid, or it can be a grid of blue lines offset from a grid of red lines. I teach my students how to use isometric graph paper and I have some red/blue grid paper that I’ve never done anything with.

I just assumed the person’s cells were dying and hair cells were like super weak and the first thing to deteriorate.

Once it is growing, you can't kill it without removing the roots. You can hurt it all you like, rhubarb does not care. Growing big and fast is all it gives a damn about and it will do it just to spite you.

No, my family has big rhubarb and it only gets like 5' total, with 2' leaf. But once it's established, it does not want to leave. It's mostly stalk and leaf coming from rhizome or tuber in ground, not vining or rambling like blackberries. It doesn't spread like bamboo either. It just won't go away though

We have rhubarb and black raspberries on our property. Black raspberries will grow anywhere birds have pooped out their seeds, and they can take a weed whacking, growing in gravel, being kicked, run over, having scrap dropped on them. But god forbid you try to transplant them, goddamn dramatic bastards die within days.

Hate makes them grow. After learning this, I did an experiment. I planted four rhubarb "bulbs" of equal size quite close to one another, all in equally shitty soil. One of them I would just fuck with. I'd throw stuff at it, kick it, even swear at it and tell it that it sucked.

It's the largest one, by far. I started doing it to another one (the third plant in the line) and not the other two. The next year, the two I left alone had died.

Fucking weird plants.
