The Eiffel Tower is 6 inches taller in the summer than the winter. 

The original group of Metallica composed of Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Dave Mustain and Ron McGoveny.

Ron McGoveny left on his own accord and Dave Mustain was kicked out due to excessive partying.

The name of Metallica was an idea of one of those two and was changed shortly after they left.

Metallica was originally called Bay Area Trashers and had one demo album from 1979.

It takes seven shuffles to randomize a standard deck of 52 cards.

Jonah Falcon is the man with the world's longest (human) penis, at 13.5 inches when erect.

I thought bonobo monkeys did as well.  Dolphins are the rapists of the sea though.

Only armadillo and humans can carry leprosy.

And Tasmanian Devils are at risk due to a contagious cancer.

How do we know this? And does it mean that we are the only ones that feel pleasure from it, or we are the only ones that still have sex despite no chance of babby? I suppose if other animals don't have sex when pregnant you could conclude that it's purely functional?

Also, why the **** did all those dogs hump my leg if not for pleasure??
