RAFFLE
NEW! NEW! NEW!
With the implementation of our new stuff wrapping up, I'm excited to get to tell you more about them but FIRST... let's do one last raffle for May!
Entries will be open until Sunday, May 31st.
To enter, tell me ONE NEW FACT... or myth, or whatever.
Let's all learn about some new weird stuff together!
I'll go first:
Tongue prints, like finger prints, are unique.
Your tongue? Unique. That guy's? Unique, but also lame. Yours? Is cool.
Prizes: Mutation Slot, Rare Character Slot, 500 Magicka, High Spell Borrow, GM-rolled alien stone, Winner's Choice*
*Winner's Choice can be anything... maybe...
This raffle is different because everyone who enters will be rolled a prize.
They can be traded for others' prizes or given away.
Without mucus, your stomach would digest itself
A whale's tongue is so big, fifty people can stand on it (or 8, if they're social distancing... :squint:)
Honey doesn't rot or go bad, it's like gold but better because it actually has a plethora of uses. Also, it's made from a chain of bees spitting nectar into each others mouths. I don't know if either of these are a weird fact but I thought you should know.
Oh boy, time to put my unhealthy obsession with lizards to use!
The Geckolepis megalepis gecko, a newly found species native to Madagascar, has unusually large and fish-like scales. Instead of just detaching their tail when threatened, they can detach the entirety of their scales, leaving only slippery epidermis. It's made studying them very hard since every time the scientists try to catch them, all they get is a handful of scales.
Cats purr at a frequency that can promote bone growth and healing.
rhyhorn, mew, bulbasaur and arceus all have one thing in common: they're all the first pokemon
Fun fact- the unicorn is the national animal of Scotland!
The striped skunks name: Mephitis mephitis, comes from the latin word mephit, which means bad odor! Essentially making their name stinky stinky!
Hi Stinky Stinky here xD
There's a tree in Australia called the gympie gympie. Contact with any part of it (leaves, fruit, twigs, THE AIR NEAR IT) will cause excruciating pain by releasing toxic, spurred hairs that penetrate skin. One unfortunate person was whacked in the face by accident with the foliage and described it thusly: "For two or three days the pain was almost unbearable; I couldn’t work or sleep, then it was pretty bad pain for another fortnight or so. The stinging persisted for two years and recurred every time I had a cold shower. ... There's nothing to rival it; it's ten times worse than anything else." If possibly two years of agony isn't enough, the only treatment for body parts exposed to the skin is to expose them to hydrochloric acid.
So there you go, even the trees in Australia want to kill you.
