A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.
We cannot see alligator's teeth when they have their mouths closed. Crocodile's teeth can been seen even with their mouth closed. While alligators can stick their tongues out, Crocodiles cannot do so because their tongue is attached to the roof of their mouth.
The electric chair was invented by a dentist.
In 1881, Dr. Alfred Southwick witnessed an intoxicated man touch a live electric generator. Given that the man died so quickly, Dr. Southwick concluded that electricity could be used as an alternative to hanging for executions. As Southwick was a dentist who was accustomed to performing procedures on subjects in chairs, his device for electrical execution appeared in the form of an "electric chair."
Ancient Egyptians shaved off their eyebrows to mourn the deaths of their cats.
Weird but true.
Camel’s have three eyelids.
Camels have three eyelids. Two of the eyelids have lashes and the third eyelid comes from the corner of the eye. The eyes are protected by a double row of long curly eyelashes which help keep out the sand and dust. Thick bushy eyebrows shield the eyes from the desert sun.

The Hawaiian alphabet has only 12 letters.
The Hawaiian language was an oral tradition. The Hawaiian alphabet (piapa), was written by 19th century missionaries. The alphabet contains 12 letters: 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 7 consonants (h, k, l, m, n, p, w).

There are approximately 100 million acts of sexual intercourse each day.
The Durex - World Sex Survey indicates that globally we are having sex -
• 103 times per year, or
• 1.98 times per week, or
• 0.28 times per day.
Assuming these numbers are about average, then it would be correct to assume that this is fact.
Salt Lake City has a law against carrying an unwrapped ukulele on the street.
This is true almost every US state has stupid laws like this.
All polar bears are left-handed. (False)
Scientists observing the animals haven't noticed a preference. In fact, polar bears seem to use their right and left paws equally. Use of tools. Polar bears do not use tools, including blocks of ice, to kill their prey.[/font]
