It's the "Random Trivia Bits"

~ A male moth can smell a female moth from 100 yards away.

~ A robin has nearly 3,000 feathers.

~ Canada is the largest importer of American cars.

~ Most American-made car horns beep in the tone of "F."

~ Someone with an irrational fear of meat is "carnophobic."

Some of those are quite shocking:
~ There are 1,600 known species of starfishes in the world.
~ A male moth can smell a female moth from 100 yards away.
~ Bees must collect nectar from two million flowers to make a one-pound comb of honey.

This one is so obvious:
~ Canada is the largest importer of American cars.

And I knew this one already:
~ A "fulgerite" is fossilized lightning. It forms when a powerful lightning bolt melts the soil into a glass-like state.

And finally, this is causes me pain. If I smile a lot, some of the muscles at the back of my head starts getting very tired and aches.
~ When we smile broadly, we use seventeen muscles.

Anything you say, my dear. ;)

it might be more pollitically correct if he were to say "alot of women, not all, can smell a fat wallet miles away.."

It's how you say it :) amazing what a few words can do..

I think women are attracted to rich men, but just as much as men are attracted to rich women. So while I think Staticon's statement is correct, it misrepresents the situation, because it is a one-sided statement. Besides, men are generally more superficial than women.

i thought, again.. all in general "movie" infos, that women we're attracted by rich men and men were attracted by women big em.. with big... em.. Gun's of the FemBots from Austin powers movies (1&2)...

[ICEBreaker]

Sorry I don't understand what are you saying. There are at least 4 sections in the sentence which I can't make out.

[mrdefender]

rent the movie and watch it :p

[ICEBreaker]

OK I will place in bold the bits I am confused with.

"i thought, again.. all in general "movie" infos, that women we're attracted by rich men and men were attracted by women big em.. with big... em.. Gun's of the FemBots from Austin powers movies (1&2)..."

Renting the movie would explain the last part but it won't help me with the syntax of the rest of the post.

[mrdefender]

so the board has no spell check. not my fault. i knew i had some stuff misspelled.

"i thought, again.. all in general "movie" infos, that women we're attracted by rich men and men were attracted by women big em.. with big... em.. Gun's of the FemBots from Austin powers movies (1&2)..."

(quote from IceBreaker from me)

i thought, again.. all in general "movie" infos

Based on how stuff happens in movies. Women fall in love with rich men (happens alot in movies). And that men were attacted by women with big FemBot attributes...

Gun's of the FemBots

The Fembots' Guns.
