Another fact-

All of the bananas you have eaten are genetic clones of each other. The popular Cavendish banana has no seeds, so it reproduces through offshoots in the roots.

The bladderwort is a unique aquatic plant for multiple reasons. First of all, it has a really fun name. It also is carnivorous - when the trap is sprung, a bladder grows, sucking in the water and prey around it. The bladder is considered one of the most sophisticated structures in the plant kingdom. Larger prey are caught by the tail and digested a bit at a time. The bladderwort also has no distinguishable roots, leaves, and stem.

Yes, they use much bigger equipment to move the smaller stuff. I've seen an excavator used to flip a dump druck upright after a load shift rolled it, and i've seen cranes used to keep small equipment in the air at night, presumably as a theft deterrent.

I know it is spoiling the fun, but the reason it specifically says left and right half is simply so it can let you pick different toppings. They could have said half A and half B, but it doesn't sound as nice, so no meetings determined that they should let you pick which half of your pizza has something, as Dim67 said.

I do love that the none pizza actually came through!

I'm pretty sure I've read that you can sometimes find windows with the thick part at the top - where someone forgot to put the strong part at the bottom. I figured it would be on the straight dope or snopes, but a quick google search didn't find it.

artbot,

I'm pretty sure I heard that most satelitte cams take two shots. One high-res b&w shot for the detail, and a lower quality color shot for the coloring. The slight delay between the pictures means high-speed targets get shot in two locations. The "ghost" occurs when the two images are merged.

Sorry I don't have a source, and don't remember where I heard it, so I could be completely off.

This reminds me of those failed internet appliances from 96 or so. They were supposed to just check email, keep a calendar, and browse the web with a small, simple device that could be placed in the kitchen. I'm busy working on converting one with some nice retro styling into a touchscreen remote for our media center pc.

I started programming when I was 8, and taught myself out of a BASIC command reference manual. I got interested because I saw my dad throw together a quick program to help my sister solve anagrams. Once we got the internet, I was able to start working in better languages, but my experience from learning to optimize code and algorithms so things would run quickly in interpreted basic is what makes me a good programmer today.

You can make your own!

Actually, on the site the scambaiter admits that they are probably not the scammer himself. However, hiring people to make the video ate a lot of his time that could have been spent scamming others.

This baiter is very good at getting carved items sent to him under the promise of around $25,000. He actually got this scammer to mail him a wooden bust of himself long before the video.
