Dolphins are the only animal except for humans that have sex for pleasure.

Platypuses are WEIRD: they are the only mammals to lay eggs and they have no nipples. Milk just drips from holes in the skin.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina has the most mini-golf courses per area in the U.S. At last count, there were 47 in a 60 mile radius.

Looked that one up. Not true. New Jersey doesn't even produce two-thirds of California's eggplant crop.

Hmm. How many others are questionable?

This has also been disproved. You can try it yourself, if you wear a white shirt every time you feed your goldfish and always put the food in the same part of the aquarium, any time anyone in white approaches the aquarium the fish will swim to the same spot where you normally feed them.

They are still an independent member of the Commonwealth....at least they were last time I checked.

The Queen of England is on the money because she is the Head of State....in all members of the Commonwealth there is a deFacto H.O.S. who my research tells me currently is:

Her Excellency the Right Honourable Adrienne Clarkson

But yes, Canada is an independent country with her own laws and customs.

There are 2 Echinoderms (mammals who lay eggs) the other, also in Australia is the Echidna (spiny anteater)

Yes platypi are weird...they are venomous as well.

i don't know anything about spiny anteaters, but i do know echinoderms are part of invertebrate phylum (echinodermata) that include sand dollars, starfish and the ever charming sea cucumber.

if i remember correctly, they are the phylum of invertebrates most closely related to vertebrates because when the embryonic sphere of cells forms its first infolding, that hole becomes the anus, like vertebrates. in most invertebrates, the first infolding becomes the mouth.

(i'd like to thank dr. smallwood for the wealth of biology trivia he provided me so long ago.)
