    one thing its been a proven fact, That the 3 second memory of a goldfish is not true. Scientists have trained gold fish to feed themselves. this was done by feeding the fish at the same time everyday, and they tought them to press a button every time to recieve there food. After a while the food was delivered electronicly by the press of the button. and it worked.

    and also 4:20 is not only doobie time but its the code for possesion of marijuana for the police.

    but some really cool facts though

    My fact for this thread: science has proven that an infinite number of monkeys working on an infinite number of typewriters will eventually produce a heinously dull cut-and-paste thread like this.

    Just for the record, I don't hold dictionary.com as a reputable source. Try the OED.
