I never called those things antennas sneaks, I always knew they were eyes ever since I was a little kid.

That's a lousy random fact. In fact, it sucks!

Yeah, anyone that has seen a cartoon snail already knows that.

Jesus H sneaks, get it together.

Who could have anticipated all the backlash to the random facts thread? It's becoming quite the hotbed for controversy around here.

Sneaks knew what he was signing up for when he started this thread.

Frankly, he has been mailing it for some time. As a family of Bronco fans, we deserve better.

everyone just hold off on all the negative. I never knew that turtles could breathe out of their asses and I doubt you morons did either.

OK that's a good point. But I believe it was Dread who challenged turtles actually breathed out of their butts and felt it was some other physiological process.

Can Dread confirm he challenged this random fact about turtles?

it seems that I did hear that this was indeed a fact, probably through my course of study, but I spose it's possible I may have had a dream about something like that at one time. In any event, maybe some of the vernacular could be challenged, and if a modification is in order, I think we should chalk it up as a layman's oversight. I like to give folks the benefit of the doubt

Speaking of dreams, db posted one in the lounge that we'd like you to analyze.
