  Oh, that's right. I don't know why they bother having different categories. Does anyone actually bother to read discussions by category anyway (ie use the filter)? I don't.

  because it's not violating anything. The links serves as a source or a reference, and not intended as an act of promotion..
  
  Geeez... come on people, dont act like wannabes.

well, i think this is an okay thread if it is in shameless promotion category, and not in general discussion category.

anyway, do you know that Chinese people don't have floor 4, 13 and 14 in their buildings? 4 means death and 13 is because they are adapting western culture.

Question: What is a mosquito's main food?
Answer: If you said blood, you're wrong. Only females drink blood, and it's not b/c they need it for their diet. Blood helps females lay healthy eggs. A mosquito's main food is flower nectar, fruit juice, and other plant nutrients.

  Raw cashews are poisonous and must be roasted before they can be eaten (this is probably one reason that you can't buy cashews in the shell)

Aspirin is poisonous to cats.

And chocolate, grapes and raisins are poisonous to dogs. Onions aren't too good for them, either.

We all know about Robin Hood yes? - and the fact that he dressed in Lincoln Green? - well Lincoln Green is a fabric not a colour!

  A common misconcpetion I believe. Whilst some Lincoln Greens were 'green' they were also (originally) blue and as this city of Lincoln website explains -- even red! Lincoln Green is a mispronunciation of the name Lincoln Grain i.e. The Fabric
