According to a recent study pandas may not be as solitary as people tend to think. They may be actually quite social and friendly to each other, traveling to different places together to find the best bamboo.

I learned that Tara Reid, who has a rep for being a blonde stereotype, actually believed that a whale shark is what you get when a whale and a shark have sex. :lol:

It was on WatchMojo.com where they had a top 10 list of the dumbest things celebrities have said (excluding politicians and racial slurs), and she thought a whale shark is a cross-breed of a whale and a shark, and not the name of a gigantic shark, the biggest fish in the world.

A pineapple that is still green outside can already be ripe enough and sweet (and sour) inside.
