Only female mosquitoes bite us because the required nutrition from their victim’s blood is needed to develop their eggs. Male mosquitoes feed on the nectar of flowers.

Adactylidium is a genus of mites known for its unusual life cycle.[1] An impregnated female mite feeds upon a single egg of a thrips, rapidly growing five to eight female offspring and one male in her body. The single male mite mates with all his sisters when they are still inside their mother. The new females, now impregnated, eat their way out of their mother's body so that they can emerge to find new thrips eggs, killing their mother in the process (though the mother may be only 4 days old at the time), starting the cycle again.

Geckos don't have eyelids so they lick their eyeballs to keep them from drying out.

Yep, by a few hundred years. Wasn't she living around 60 BC?

Cows cannot climb downstairs:
This is because they cannot easily see the ground right after their feet. Their knees and hips also make it difficult for them to move at a downward angle. Additionally, all their extra weight would leave them off-balanced and possibly fall over.

quote:Some do, like leopard geckos. I know because my son has one. My son has a leopard gecko because someone gave it to him as a gift. A live animal, as a gift. They need to be fed live crickets on a regular basis. Live crickets do not live long once they reach a size that leopard geckos like to eat them, a couple weeks at best. Keeping live crickets on hand is a pain in the arse.
Geckos don't have eyelids
Leopard geckos also shite cricket-sized turds for every single cricket that they eat. When it eats a dozen crickets per week, the gecko will fill its terrarium with logs pretty fast.
Hey, did you know that leopard geckos can live up to 20 years? I know because after one was given to my son as a gift I had to learn all about them. I hope he enjoys taking care of it when he leaves for college in 6 more years with his 12 year old gecko. I know I will enjoy my retirement from gecko caretaker and cricket farmer.

Obviously, these people live 40 times longer than the average person.

Ships moving through the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific move in a general north to south direction.
Reno, Nevada is further west than Las Vegas, Los Angeles, or San Diego.
Charleston, South Carolina (on the Atlantic) is further west than Lima, Peru (on the Pacific).
The computer on board the Apollo 11 lunar lander Eagle had a 32KB hard disk and 4KB of RAM. An identical computer was installed on the command module Columbia.
