Mosaics that read "Beware of Dog" could be found on doorsteps in ancient Roman cities.
you know what is an interesting fact? that bananas are yellow, they taste good, and they are healthy... ^_^ tee hee
No it DOESN'T...
The chocolate companies would be shut down if that was the case... I've looked up the stats, a whole leg, at least of most bugs, could never get through inspections, even a fleck of it's exoskelleton would be like 1 tiny fleck in a large quantity of chocolate...
Now, there are some edible insects, such as locusts and grasshoppers, and those may be intentionally put into candy, but those of the accidental variety would never get through...
Nope, it's true... It's not just Sony. Basically, any camera with the zero lux (infrared, I think) that works when there is full light can do it... Cameras now won't let the IR come on when the light is too high, because when there is light, you'll see through thin clothing and see an ugly green colored basic shape of whatever's underneath... It's not strong enough to see through, like, Jeans or 2 layers of clothing like a shirt and a bra... I remember when they found this out, it was on the news... Like they needed to give girls any more reason to be paranoid about cameras... *sigh*

In Israel a shaved beard was a sign of discrace and baldness was considered a sign of stupidity.(hence the storey of Elisha going to the mountain and boys calling him Baldhead. Prophets doent curse people for nothing)In 1500 B.C. in Egypt a shaved head was considered the ultimate in feminine beauty. Egyptian women removed every hair from their heads with special gold tweezers and polished their scalps to a high sheen with buffing cloths.

As for JadeFox's interesting fact, it sounds almost like you took it right out of The Mummy movie... Evie said almost the same thing in the movie.
