STOOPID FACTZ !!

Ants can survive for up to two days underwater.

An ant's sense of smell is as good as a Dog's.

Apple trees are at their prime when they are about 50 years old. The United States produces about 100 million barrels of apples a year. That's a lot of old trees.

An apple, onion, and potato all have the same taste. The differences in flavor are caused by their smell. To prove this you can pinch your nose and take a bite from each. They will all taste sweet.

An arabica coffee tree can produce up to 12 pounds of coffee a year, depending on soil and climate.

An area of the Sun's surface the size of a postage stamp shines with the power of 1,500,000 candles.

An artificial hand , with fingers moved by cogwheels and levers, was designed in 1551 by Frenchman Ambroise Paré. It worked so well that a handless cavalryman was able to grasp the reins of his horse.

An average beaver can cut down two hundred trees a year.

No wonder I can't drown the beach ants. I don't have that much time to wait for them to die
