Now here's a little critter I used to have as a pet once upon a time!

He's called a Pac-Man Frog as a joke I think?

They are actually very fearce!

They will try and eat anything they can get their mouth around!

Almost like alittle steel trap?

If there ever was a Dragon in the Frog world this it'd be it?

Ceratophrys is a genus of frogs in the family Leptodactylidae, subfamily Ceratophryinae.

They are also known as South American horned frogs as well as pacman frogs due to their characteristically large mouth and abdomen,
thus resembling the video game character Pac-Man.

The female will not "chirp", or "croak",
whereas a male specimen of the same species will.
Much like a dog barking it goes?

The average lifespan of a Pacman frog is about 6 years,
but they have been known to live up to 15 years.

They are voracious eaters, often eating insects,
small mammals (such as mice), fish, other frogs, and small reptiles.
A fully grown female Argentine Horned Frog
(females are generally larger than males) can easily eat a grown rat.

Although these frogs can swallow animals almost half their size,
they sometimes attempt to eat things larger than they are.
A row of sharp teeth in their upper jaw makes it nearly impossible for them to release prey after taking it in their mouth,
in some cases leading to death by choking.

This is very cool.

This is a 24 hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the world, condensed down to about 2 minutes.

From space we look like a bee hive of activity.

Those yellow dots are airliners, many with over 300 persons onboard!

Note that the eastbound flights to Europe, from North America, are at night, and the westbound flights,

from Europe are in daylight.

You could tell it was summer time in the north by the suns foot print over the planet.

You could see that it didn't quite set in the extreme north and it didn't quite rise in the extreme south.

With this 24 hour observation of aircraft travel on the earths surface we get to see the daylight pattern

move as well.

One human hair can support 3 kg (6lbs)

Human thighbones are stronger than concrete

A woman's heart beats faster than a man's

The average man's penis is three times the length of his thumb

There are about one trillion bacteria on each of your feet

Women blink twice as often as men

The average person's skin weighs twice as much as the brain

Your body uses 300 muscles to balance itself when you are standing still.

If saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it

Women reading this are finished now

Men reading this are still busy looking at their thumbs.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHOM TO MARRY???

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.

King Kong's bones up for sale

LONDON - A tiny King Kong figurine that helped launch the career of one of cinema's biggest monsters is going up for sale, Christie's auction house said Friday.

The London auctioneer said the 22-inch (56-centimetre) skeleton was the one used in the climactic scene of the 1933 movie in which the humongous ape climbs New York's Empire State Building, clutching a blonde starlet and swatting away fighter planes.

"King Kong" wowed 1930s audiences with groundbreaking special effects that appeared to show the titular beast brawling with dinosaurs and cutting a swathe of destruction through New York City.

Much of the credit goes to Willis O'Brien, then chief technician at RKO studios, who created the monster by adding layers of cotton, rubber, liquid latex and rabbit's fur to a metal armature.

The figurines were then filmed one frame at a time, moving them ever-so-slightly between shots to give the illusion of movement.

Although several such models were used in the film, Christie's spokeswoman Jo Swetenham said this one was thought to be the largest. She added that the monster's fleshy covering has since rotted away.

The movie spawned a series of sequels and remakes, including a 1976 version starring Jeff Bridges and Peter Jackson's computer-wizardry packed "King Kong" with Jack Black, Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody.

The skeletal miniature may lack Kong's heft, but it still comes with a kingly price tag.

Christie's said it hopes to get up to 150,000 pounds (about $240,000) from the figure's sale. Fans can bid for the artifact at the auctioneer's popular culture sale on Nov. 24.

If a word is misspelled in a dictionary, how would we ever know?

If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words?

If you wrote a letter, perhaps you bote your tongue?

If you've read a book, you can reread it. But wouldn't this also mean that you would have to "member" somebody in order to remember them?

In Chinese, why are the words for crisis and opportunity the same?

Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?

Why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?

Here are some helpful hints that could make your winters easier to deal with ...

Keep your headlights clear with car wax!

Just wipe ordinary car wax on your headlights. It contains special water repellents that will prevent that messy mixture from accumulating on your lights - lasts 6 weeks.

Squeak-proof your wipers with rubbing alcohol!

Wipe the wipers with a cloth saturated with rubbing alcohol or ammonia. This one trick can make badly streaking and squeaking wipers change to near perfect silence and clarity.

Ice-proof your windows with vinegar!

Frost on it's way? Just fill a spray bottle with three parts vinegar to one part water and spritz it on all your windows at night. In the morning, they'll be clear of icy mess. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which raises the melting point of water---preventing water from freezing!

Prevent car doors from freezing shut with cooking spray!

Spritz cooking oil on the rubber seals around car doors and rub it in with a paper towel. The cooking spray prevents water from melting into the rubber.

Fog-proof your windshield with shaving cream!

Spray some shaving cream on the inside of your windshield and wipe if off with paper towels. Shaving cream has many of the same ingredients found in commercial defoggers.

De-ice your lock in seconds with hand sanitizer!

Just put some hand sanitizer gel on the key and the lock and the problems solved!

Hope these hints help even just one time

THE YEAR IS 1909

This will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!

************ ********* ***********

The year is 1909.
One hundred years ago.
What a difference a century makes!
Here are some statistics for the Year 1909:

************ ********* ************

The average life expectancy for men was 47 years.

Fuel for this car was sold in drug stores only.

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower !

The average US wage in 1909 was 22 cents per hour.

The average US worker made between $200 and $400 per year ..

A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,
A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year,

and a mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.

More than 95 percent of all births took place at HOME .

Ninety percent of all Doctors had NO COLLEGE EDUCATION!

Instead, they attended so-called medical schools, many of which

Were condemned in the press AND the government as 'substandard.'

Sugar cost four cents a pound.

Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen..

Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.

Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used Borax or egg yolks for shampoo.

Canada passed a law that prohibited poor people from entering into their country for any reason.

The Five leading causes of death were:

1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

The American flag had 45 stars ....

The population of Las Vegas , Nevada , was only 30!!!!

Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented yet.

There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.

Two out of every 10 adults couldn't read or write and

Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated from high school..

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores..

Back then pharmacists said, 'Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind,

regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health'.

Eighteen percent of households had at least one full-time servant or domestic help ....

There were about 230 reported murders in the ENTIRE U.S.A. !

Plus one more sad thought .... 95 percent of the taxes we have now did not exist in 1909.

I am now going to forward this to someone else without typing it myself.
>From there, it will be sent to others all over the WORLD - all in a matter of seconds!
Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years.
