Llamas get very lonely without other llamas to keep them company.

and not a Deli...

Oops, I thought this was the Llama thread, can't think why?!

Ok a random fact: It's not good to get anywhere near a Taikodai when it's being hurtled towards you by a lot of Sake fuelled Japanese people!

Lysterine has an effect on the number of humans on the planet?!?

But of course it does, significant others are much friendlier if you use Lysterine.

You are making the claim here so please back it up.

Japan has the world's longest reigning royal family, the current emperor is a direct descendant from the original emperor of Japan!

The greatest tide change on earth occurs in the Bay of Fundy. The difference between low tide and high tide can be as great as 54 ft. 6 in. (16.6 meters).

The LSST, if built according to current plans, in its normal operational mode, will image the whole night sky, at its location (in Chile), every three days.

The Skylab astronauts grew 1.5 - 2.25 inches (3.8 - 5.7 centimeters) due to spinal lengthening and straightening as a result of zero gravity.
