Hummingbirds can't walk, lol that's wierd

Jennifer said...

You know? I can spout off weird facts all day long, until you asked me for one. Now I am drawing a blank.

I cheated and did a google search for this one - Fingernails grow nearly 4 times faster than toenails!

I'll give you my weird recipe for a summer drink!
About one inch of Ocean Spray Cranberry Light in a glass with a can of diet Sprite. Yum!

The average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime at night.

Women blink twice as much as men.

ahh here's something weird. Can you lick your elbows? Go ahead, try it. Not many people can :)

Great giveaway! I hope i'm the lucky winner :)

Carol said...

I'm trying to think, but reading through the comments about eating spiders at night has kinda messed me up. eeeewwww. a guy that works with my dh eats raw onions (like an apple), that's weird.

Thanks for a chance, haven't tried this soda yet.

lisaray said...

Well, it might not be weird, but I at least think it's strange that my husband, who grew up in the corn belt, loves corn, but won't eat grits, which are made of - you guessed it - corn!

Designingwoman said...

I am deathly allergic to pecans but I can eat walnuts until the cows come home! One of my favorite dishes is a pasta dish with sauteed bread crumbs and walnuts on top of a marinara sauce! Weird but true ;-)

I'm 57 and my grandfather (not great-grandfather) was born the year after the Civil War ended. My father was the second to last of his children, and I'm the second to last of my father's, so we're an old family!

World wide weird:

The European Union allows fruits and vegetables to be sold only in prescribed sizes and colors (such as its 35 pages of regulations governing 250 varieties of the apple, or rules that cucumbers must be straight and bananas curved). In June, British marketer Tim Down complained that he was forced to discard 5,000 kiwi fruit because they were 1 millimeter in diameter too small and one-fourth ounce too light. (It is illegal even to give them away, as that would undermine the market price.) "Improvements" in the EU system continue, according to a July Washington Post dispatch from Brussels: Despite 10 pages of standards on the onion and 19 amendments, the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture recently issued a report urging further refinements, using 29 pages and 43 photographs. [Washington Post, 7-8-08; Daily Mail}


Weirdness at home:

My husband is allergic to the entire onion family (including the smell of blooming sage), pine trees, and most fruits.

I affectionately call him "my bubble boy".

Thanks for the giveaway.

My sister-in-law can read people's auras.

pbrint said...

something weird is my dog eats the cucumber peeling when I peel a cucumber.

Snowpuff said...

The house next door is supposed to be haunted by the mean woman who lived there for 30 years. Well, strange things do seem to happen there, but I'm not sure I believe the haunting stories.

Something weird? Hmmm...okay, did you know that some tomatoes that are bioengineered are being crossed with fish genes for enhancement? Watch out vegetarians!

I think it's weird that people still leave their cars running -in the heat of the summer- when gas is over $4 a gallon :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!

I think some people are weird.

arvard said...

You have some interesting posts here. I would like to have my aura read and I don't think I have ever eaten a spider. I guess what is weird about me is that I really enjoy doing abstract paintings and I understand them.

My 2 year old is ALWAYS smelling her feet! Half the time I catch her by herself she's doing that. If that ain't weird, I don't know what is.

SeahorseLady said...

I'm addicted to Coke Zero! Did you know that some species of kangaroo can produce two different types of milk at the same time from adjacent teats to feed both younger and older offspring. Practical but weird.

Tammy said...

The African Elephant is pregnant for almost 2 years with her baby -- I don't know if that's weird, but I don't think it would be fun!

Kyle and Melissa said...

I love coke zero, Something weird is that my rabbit won't eat anything but nature valley granola bars.

Yesterday, I pulled a long snotty booger from my nose. It measured 3-1/2 inches! At first I thought if might have been some sort of tapeworm...but no, just a big snotty booger. Gross, huh?

Oh, and thanks for the coupon giveaway.

your feet are the lenghth of your forearm.

Michele said...

Something weird is the made-up language my family has for lots of things. For example, for sleep, tired, or going to bed we say, "bop." Not sure why it started, but it's been around in my family since my sister and I were toddlers!!

Thanks so much!!

Some of the creatures in the ocean are weird. The colors, the many legs, an octopus has a beak. The ocean is a wonderfully, weird, place.

Cold Pepsi in a can makes my head itch. Right over both ears. Sometimes, deep within my ears. Yet I still love it.

I was attacked by a bird the day before I got married at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. It divebombed my hair and escaped with a chunk of it. I guess it was building a nest or something. That hurt! My hair was about midway down my back at that time.

Some people have arachibutyrophobia, which is the fear of having peanut butter stuck to the roof of the mouth.
