This is definately true, but only for farm-raised turkeys. Wild turkeys are actually quite intelligent birds.
And to add on to the octopus topic, my dad worked with a guy that witnessed that. He had a pair of octupi, each in a separate tank, and the tanks were separated from each other by a few other tanks. What would happen was that he would leave the lab for the night, and when he returned in the morning, the two octupi would be hanging out together in one of the tanks. It turns out that one of them wanted to be social, so it actually jumped out of its tank, and leap-frogged from tank to tank until it got to its buddy.
Weird, huh? I mean, it's remarkable that they get out of their tanks to explore at all, but actually calculating jumps and performing them - that's crazy!
I can do it for a split-second before I tumble to the floor. I bet the people on the ISS can do it.
That is precisely the problem. The center of gravity has little to no effect on the orientation of the person on the ISS, so they could do it easily (assuming they can touch their toes to begin with).
365.49? That's way off. It's 365.2425 days long according to the Gregorian calendar, which is more accurate than the Julian Calendar's 365.25 days. More accurate still is the Mayan calendar, which put the year at 365.242036 days long.
but man-o-man what cheessy video and those stupid slogans!!!
I guess if you spend all day picking hunks of molded iron up off the floor then putting them down again . . . all day everyday . . . then I guess you don't have mush to talk about . . . or, critical insight about decent videography . . I mean look at the final Terminator . . . wasn't that the one with Arnold's input?!
And anybody here ever hang out at the gym with the buff-buddies there . . . . what a snooozer!!!!!
I think that seeing as Colman is still only 39 he has time to change his workout regemin to one that is healthy . . . I knew a super-buffed dude who felt that he was unhealthy . .. so what he did is o start running unstead of liting wieghts . . . he lost a lot of weight yet stayed healthy
he still was pretty big but it was in process . . . and it took alot of running . . . as much as was put into weight lifting . . .

Exactly. Sheesh Moogs, I can't believe you didn't know that. Hope you didn't plan on voting next year.
Yeesh. You people disgust me

Wrong thread maybe? Really threw me off when I couldn't find any trivia, useless or otherwise.

Which, somewhat scarily, runs out in nine years (December 21, 2012 will be the day before the apocalypse, apparently).

maybe they predicted the y2k bug a few years late.

even more scarily
Mayans aren't the only ancient calendar creators to peg the same end date
Aztecs and Celts seem to plan the same Wrap party
most people have the same measurements heel-to-toe as elbow-wrist
in other words when you went to sleep on september 2nd, the next morning it was september 14th.
