~Horses can't vomit.
~Horses actually sleep laying down 25% of the time.
~When a horse is at a full-out gallop, as seen in such races as the Kentucky Derby, they are putting 10,000 lbs of pressure per square inch of their foot every time their foot hits the ground.
~Horses are measured in four inch increments called "hands".
~The number one killer of Mustangs, (and I assume of other wild horse breeds across the world as well), is starvation due to bad teeth. A horse's teeth grow like fingernails and are gradually worn down by chewing. If not properly maintained, they can develop sharp edges that cut the inside of the horse's mouth, and render him unable to chew.
~In a herd of wild horses, it is actually a mare (female horse) who is in charge of the herd. The stallion is present for protection and breeding purposes--not for decision making.
~The word "Horse" in Greek means "Gentle Giant".
~In my experience, I can attest that horses fit their stereotypes about 95% of the time: Ponies are mischeivious, warmbloods are a bit slow in the head, Thoroughbreds and Arabians are often flighty, though highly intelligent, and draughts are the most tolerant and gentle of them all!
This is fun!

Bu apparently frogs can. First they vomit up their entire stomach so it's hanging out of their mouths, then they use their forearms to empty out the contents and when they're done, they swallow their stomach again.Bastet said:
Apparently this was discovered quite by chance during some space mission or other.
Lucky froggy wasn't wearing a helmet.

Actually, it was that before it was ham. You get some pork, then you pickle it in a brine solution, then you smoke it and that's ham.Sunstone said:

If you left an unopened can of corned beef for 100 years and then opened it, it would be edible.

Have you ever had tinned corned beef? It's barely edible to begin with...Isis-Astoroth said:
