The woodpecker's skull is surrounded by special cartilidge that will protect it against the massive g-force it puts itself threw when pecking the wood. Not only this, but the woodpecker's tongue is really long to reach inside and catch insects in the tree. In order to keep the tongue inside its mouth, the woodpecker wraps its own tongue around its brain as protection and storage. To hunt the bugs, the woodpecker's tongue has a tiny ear on the end.

2008-08-04 [Chimes]: Panthers do exist... otherwise they wouldn't be named. They are just very similar to Leopards.

2008-08-04 [Mrs Vicious.]: my waters have broken.

2008-08-04 [Chimes]: O.O; I hope you're joking. If not... then why zee hell are you still on here?

2008-08-05 [((lost))]: Apparently, so i hear, panthers dont exist, they are just black versions of leopards. MY boyfriend told me, (and apparently he's always right...) and he heard it from steven fry, who knows all there is to know in this world :)

2008-08-05 [Aliz]: that's actually true. I've read it somewhere!
(Books never lie! -nods-)

2008-08-05 [shadow of darkness]: The "panther" actually refers to all species of larger cats such as lions, cougars, jaguars, leopards, etc. For more information you can check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_panther

the panther in the Jungle Book is most likely a black leopard, giving the fact that there was a tiger in the Jungle. Both leopards and jaguars are capable of spawning Black Panthers into existence, however the jaguar is the one in which it would happen more commonly. the genetic trait to create the "black" on the panther is Dominant in jaguars, as it is recessive in the leopards. Only when both parents in the leopards carry the recessive gene will there be a "black panther" whereas with the jaguar it is possible for two jaguars to have both spotted and "black" cubs.

2008-08-05 [Todd van elslande]: uhm i did not know that.
learned something new today. YAY!

2008-08-05 [shadow of darkness]: OH! I think I just found my something interesting to post lol

2008-08-05 [Teufelsweib]: awkward that an animal, just because its color, gets a whole different name :O
awesome ^^

2008-08-05 [Evolution X]: What you saying im a panther just cause Im BLACK!
.... yes.

2008-08-05 [All_Most PUNK]: The scientific name of both the jaguar and the leopard is panthera, by the way (onca in the case of the jaguar and pardus in the case of the leopard). The same happens with the lions and the tiger. So calling them panthers is like being as exact as possible :P

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: So therefore Panthers do exist. :P

2008-08-05 [hopscotchnerd]: ok, how did me saying i want to turn into a panther lead to this giant scientific discussion about weather or not they exist??????

its not fair, I'm always the center for trouble and disagreement!!!!!!!

2008-08-05 [Atayemi]: Yo, chill :P

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: It's not trouble... it's actually interesting...

2008-08-05 [x-tacy]: blahhhhhhhhhhh no more mess on the panther stuff..... something different plz...

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: Mess? Where's the mess? O.o;

2008-08-05 [blood_fairy21]: O.o whoa how did this happen??

2008-08-05 [Evolution X]: She's ok...

2008-08-05 [LinkTurrner]: cool

2008-08-05 [hopscotchnerd]: but, but, but its not fair*pouts*

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: What's not fair?

2008-08-05 [hopscotchnerd]: i dont know, but when i find out, it will be unfair

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: Alright then?

2008-08-05 [hopscotchnerd]: i still wanna be a panther

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: Fair enough.

2008-08-05 [x-tacy]: [LinkTurrner] she is doing great had a baby boy weighing @ 7 1/2 pound she named him Theodore (i hope i spelled that right)... boy i cnt wait to find out what im having...

2008-08-05 [x-tacy]: [hopscotchnerd] hey you whacha up to still wanting to be a cat i see....

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: You did spell it right... unless she chose to spell it weirdly.

2008-08-05 [hopscotchnerd]: ill always want to be a cat, like i said, cats are the most nimble things in the world

2008-08-05 [Chimes]: Well, now you do. Seeing as you spelt it right. :D It's a tricky name. XD But awesome...

2008-08-06 [manwe]:
Spelt
(Triticum spelta) is a hexaploid species of wheat. Spelt was an important staple in parts of Europe from the Bronze Age to medieval times; it now survives as a relict crop in Central Europe and has found a new market as a health food. ...

~ymmv....

2008-08-06 [manwe]:
"Hedda" the TRUE meaning:

'Hedda' (Gabler) is both a play and a fictional character created by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. First published in 1890 and premiered the following year in Germany to negative reviews, the play Hedda Gabler has subsequently gained recognition as a classic of realism, nineteenth century theater, and world drama. A 1902 production was a major sensation on Broadway starring Minnie Maddern Fiske and following its initial limited run was revived with the actress the following year.
The character of Hedda is one of the great dramatic roles in theatre, the "female Hamlet,"http://arts.guardian.co.uk/critic/review/0,1169,1439784,00.html and some portrayals have been very controversial. Depending on the interpretation, Hedda may be portrayed as an idealistic heroine fighting society, a victim of circumstance, a prototypical feminist, or a manipulative villain.
Hedda's actual name in the play is Hedda Tesman; Gabler is her maiden name. About the title, Ibsen wrote: "My intention in giving it this name was to indicate that Hedda as a personality is to be regarded rather as her father's daughter than her husband's wife."

~ymmv....

2008-08-06 [HardRockAngel]: Funny too though :p

2008-08-06 [Chimes]: It is?

2008-08-06 [HardRockAngel]: Well, I thought so, yes :P
She was ranting and someone put her in her place by saying just one thing :)

2008-08-06 [Chimes]: That wasn't the intention... I just have a habit of correcting people - well, when I know there's a mistake anyway. I find it helpful when people correct me. *shrugs*

2008-08-06 [x-tacy]: Oooooo

2008-08-06 [Atayemi]: I wasn't intending on being mean or anything. I was just curious like other people are. I hate it when people jump to conclusions. >__>

2008-08-06 [Morphea]: Well newborns are just as different as every person on earth.
Some sleep all day...some all night... some just cry and eat some won`t sleep at all.....When it comes to newborns....There are no rules...just personality

2008-08-06 [x-tacy]: you know u are right about that....i agree....

2008-08-06 [Maelthra]: And there is no harm in doing something you want to do while the baby is sleeping. After all, that will be one of the ONLY times you have to do stuff for yourself.

2008-08-06 [Mrs Vicious.]: I hear you, he woke up a cupple of minuets ago and started to bawl...wantign to be feed, not going to go into detail but he's now asleep....... its going to be fun.

2008-08-06 [Maelthra]: I love babies. Don't want one of my own right now though. I have plenty of four legged babies that need my attention. The hardest part is trying to find homes for them all when they were abandoned and no one wants them. At least they are well cared for and loved here.

2008-08-06 [Mrs Vicious.]: aww puppies?

2008-08-06 [Maelthra]: A lot of kittens right now. All of the stray dogs around here run from you. But for some reason all of the kittens get dumped on my doorstep. Or the lady and the apartments I live in always tells me where I can find kittens that have been abandoned. I go and pick them up, get them cleaned up, healthy looking and fed, taken to the vet to get the first set of shots and such, when they are old enough, have them spayed or neutered and then find homes for them.

2008-08-06 [Morphea]: That is a very nice thing to do *applauds*

2008-08-06 [Mrs Vicious.]: ah okies. if it was puppies id ask for one.

2008-08-06 [Maelthra]: We also take in all other kinds of animals, not just kittens. But kittens seem do be in better supply when it comes to rescue.

2008-08-06 [x-tacy]: you are a realy thoughtfull person for doing all that... my husband is like that he has a thing for dogs and every time he sees a dog going across the road he has to get it and check if it has a owner tag on it and if not to my house it goes at one time we had like 13 pit bulls which are his favorite... as for my self i like cats...

2008-08-06 [Morphea]: I love rottweilers :D but i grew up with a cat and they have a special place in my heart

2008-08-06 [Chimes]: I wish my parents would do that. I'm not allowed a dog or a cat but I really want one.

2008-08-06 [Maelthra]: All of our resued critters eat better than we do lol. We rescue so many critters I had to get a bigger apartment. We also go up to pets mart and places like that and pick up the critters that have been dropped off there as well.

2008-08-07 [Flight of the Butterfly]: [Alistaire]'s post is almost accurate. You can actually do damage to your eardrums if you forcibly prevent a sneeze. :P

2008-08-07 [x-tacy]: ha ha thats funny

2008-08-07 [Blood Raven]: Lots of funny and interesting facts have been added. Go everybody! Yay =D
However, some of them aren't really correct, I think. Can we post comments under them or something, or do we leave them be? :P

2008-08-07 [HardRockAngel]: I think it is only for the best if they are correct, no?

2008-08-07 [Chimes]: You'd probably better message the owner.

2008-08-07 [Jeremiah]: Em your leaving me a hard decision but I think u should leave them alone after all there not really yours try messaging the owner of the comment.

2008-08-07 [manwe]: [x-tacy] you REALLY need a few courses in english and in basic composition, as well as logic, and social interaction.... for someone who is supposed to be 25 and married.... you come off as a 14 year old with an attitude and NO formal education......

sorry... that is how i see it....

~ymmv....

2008-08-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: manwe... we all know that some times spelling is lax and heck grammer aint right but come on, its just idle chit chat that doesnt always have to pe spelt correctly to be understood, your just a bit sore your intresting fact got deleted. can you pleease stop picking at people?

2008-08-07 [manwe]: lovett....
stupidity and ignorance is an unfortunate manifestation of the problem....

if you can't say what you mean, you can NEVER mean what your say....
if you can't say it well, they why say it at all???

~ymmv....

2008-08-07 [HardRockAngel]: [manwe], everybody makes typo's or spells something wrong. That's why we're humans: we are nowhere near perfect!
So shut your yap, quit picking on other members and just enjoy the wiki...please!
No one likes a ranter, and neither do I >_>

2008-08-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: why are you persuing this anyway? its a common mistake every one makes yet you insist on being stubborn and asswholeish. whats your probelm? you seem to pick at every little detail, calling people you dont know stupid and ignorent when you have no idea what yoru on about. sure they may not want to spell or just find it easier to spell in the short way but it doesnt meen they carnt and are not capeable of doing so.

2008-08-07 [Linderel]: Please, people! Cease with the argument. Seriously.

2008-08-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: okies.

2008-08-07 [Chimes]: *zip*

2008-08-07 [manwe]: [HardRockAngel]:
"[manwe], everybody makes typo's or spells something wrong."

or uses grammar incorrectly....
yes yes... you are FAR from perfect... and so am i....
however...
in a written medium such as this, where some 20+ countries are attempting to communicate in one common language, where ALL we have to go on, in understanding, is an understanding of the common rules of language..... exactly HOW would YOU recommend that we standardize the written word.... by YOUR idiocy and poor skills? or, perhaps, in some internationally recognized standard of language that has some basis in support, recognition and verification????

perhaps such an intellect as yours can address this point with something more than the emotional outbursts of a 16 year old..... person.... with not much more than an attitude...

of course...
~ymmv....

edit...
lovett: see above statement and accept that you are one of those who do not want to know better.... and move on.....
get a clue AFTER you have edited your post....

~ymmv....

ps...

it seems to me that many of you here do not care to communicate in any meaningful way, but are mostly interested in spewing anything that lets your "presence" be known by as wide and anonymous an audience as you can.... i'm so sorry for you....

for the rest of you, who truly care about communication and meaningful interaction... well... this USED to be a nice place.... only leading by example, can we reclaim it....

"all it takes is for good people to say nothing" (a paraphrase.. but those who want to know, will understand..)

2008-08-07 [Linderel]: I do believe I asked you to quit, [manwe]. Can you not oblige?

2008-08-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: Why is Manwe even here when all they seem to do is complain? (adresses every one elce) is it just me ore have you guys had anough of it too? Im ersonally going to leave it alone as ive been told to. because i like to think id rathe rbe the bigger person and walk away with freinds then alone and an ass hat.

2008-08-07 [manwe]: linderel.... i do not know of your request.... however, if it is an "official" request, from a "site authority" who has the right to command that one be censored... then fine... show me your badge and i will comply..... i fully understand the need for censorship from a community that "claims" to be open, but is not really open....

~ymmv....

2008-08-07 [Mrs Vicious.]: Im staying out of this. its just getting rediculous. i think i might withdraw my fact just so im not watchign this page any more.

2008-08-07 [manwe]: lovett.....
look up the spelling of "rediculous" please.. and dazzle us with your ... wit.... then, edit your post...
thanks....

~ymmv....

2008-08-07 [Linderel]: I requested that everyone would stop arguing. That 'everyone' includes you, especially as your comments in particular have been needlessly rude. Even if I were not Council, I'd ask for a bit more civility.
As side notes: a. You should practice what you preach. b. I am one of the biggest nitpickers around, but do you see me insulting people on public wikis? No. Try to be a little more congenial, would ya?

2008-08-08 [Mrs Vicious.]: shut up, dont have a go at me just cos im stepping out. lol id rather eat my own foot than stand another minuet of your child like tantrums just because i didnt spell rediculous right. and ass hat. that is the way you spell rediculous. UH DUH!

2008-08-08 [shadow of darkness]: I have a nice little point to make. [manwe] has not even made a contribution to this wiki, all they have done is comment. For someone who is not partaking in the collection of interesting or stupid facts, should their opinion even matter on the conversations that we are holding in this wiki as fellow contributors?

2008-08-08 [Mrs Vicious.]: nope he did, he just got it deleated cos he's an ass hat.

2008-08-08 [Linderel]: Oi.
Does none of you understand the meaning of 'stop'?

2008-08-08 [Mrs Vicious.]: Im stopping. leaving it there end of. I have a life so Ill stop.

2008-08-08 [Linderel]: Thank you.

2008-08-08 [Chimes]: Please stop. It's beginning to bug me.

2008-08-08 [Mrs Vicious.]: Ive stopped and your welcome, though im still wonderign wether or not to quit this wiki. though i do like my pigion comment. hehe.

2008-08-08 [manwe]: [Linderel] i do not know you... only glanced at your page....
i do not care what your "official" title is... however, if, in your OFFICIAL capacity, you are telling me not to post here, or in any way, to censor my honest opinions, say it clearly and publicly, and i will IMMEDIATELY desist and remove my posts. otherwise, i am exercising my (stated in the rules) right to my opinions and observations. this is supposed to be a place of artistic and intellectual exchange.... with a few notable exceptions, i see little of that, here.... and it is little wonder that some see my opinions and observations as unacceptable, however, if it is the intent here, to lower the standard to the "lcd" (lowest common denominator) of language and intellect, then perhaps it is time for the site to re-examine it's "prime directives"... still......

~ymmv....

2008-08-08 [Mrs Vicious.]: *raises an eye brow and says nothing* ill let you guys deal with this one.

2008-08-08 [Chimes]: PLEASE, just stop. Do you think the owner of this wiki want's you to do this? Please, please, please for the sanity of the people watching this page... take it to messages.

2008-08-08 [manwe]: [shadow of darkness]: you are, of course, incorrect.... however, you may not know that no less than 4 of my posts were deleted by admins..... and that is what has sparked this series of posts from me.... i was severely censored and with no reason!

~ymmv....

2008-08-08 [Linderel]: Well... If you insist.
In my 'official capacity' I am at least asking you to try and be more civil. Quite alright to express your opinions, but you should try to be a bit less hostile in doing so. The most important rule of Elftown, after all, is 'Don't be an asshole'.
And that's the end of this. Alright? Any further comments the least bit rude, from anyone, I will delete.

2008-08-08 [Mrs Vicious.]: Im with Linderell.

2008-08-08 [Evolution X]: Ok, I've had enough of this. Let me just say this once and for all.

SHUT IT!
