just wanted to throw a random thing out here...pontiuspilatesDecember 2 2004, 05:03:05 UTC
...if anyone will appreciate this, it's the people who read this journal.
I learned this from my professor today, so it must be true. Apparently, a pregnant pronghorn antelope starts out having twin fetuses, but only one gets born. This is because one of the fetuses grows a temporary spike on its tail, and then uses it to impale its defenseless twin while still in utero. Then the mother reabsorbs the stabbed fetus.

That's dangerous stuff.
Although, you got someone else do do the actual filling out of the form, so I guess you haven't been too dirtied by it all.

that's quite possibly the most interesting, and simultaneously disturbing random fact ever.
