Hitlers maternal grandmother was a jew

goeblles (gahh spelling) was gay

a cats urine glows under blacklight

Chuck norris lost his virginity at the age 18, he attended a martial arts competition, every woman in a one mile radius was impregnated instantly, they then gave birth to the 1972 miami dophins team, the only undefeated team in the history of the NFL (okay that one was BS)

Neither of Hitler's grandmothers was Jewish. His known grandparents were Roman Catholic, as were both of his parents. There has been speculation Hitler's paternal grandfather might have been Jewish. One of Hitler's former bodyguards asserted that Hitler's paternal grandmother worked as a servant in the household of a wealthy Jewish family (by the name of Frankenberger) in Graz, and that the head of the household seduced her and got her pregnant.

However, that rumor is unlikely to be true since not only is there no record of a Frankenberger family ever living in Graz, but Jewish people were driven from the region several hundred years before and none returned until almost twenty years after Hitler's father was born. In any case, Hitler's paternal grandmother never revealed the identity of his grandfather, so we'll never know for certain whether or not it's true (though as I said, it's unlikely in the extreme all things considered).

On unique Hitler trivia, though, one of the most likely candidates to be Hitler's paternal grandfather, Johann Heidler, was also Hitler's maternal great-grandfather. Officially, J.G. Heidler, Johann's brother, is listed as Hitler's paternal grandfather. That means the best case scenario is that Hitler's parents were cousins, and entirely likely his parents were uncle and niece.

Snails are hermaphrodites that reproduce by touching each others foot. Their reproductive organs are internal, and just within the foot, not on their heads.

I did not know this

Anyway, did you know that if all buildings in the world had their roof painted white it would lower the average temperature of the globe by two degree's, canceling out the effect of Global Warming.

By what would I know?

The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp (marijuana) paper.

And written in fermented pokeberry juice.

Cannabis is the number 1 cash crop of Kentucky and Pickens County, Georgia (no proof for the latter but I would be surprised if it wasn't).

That depends on what you're talking about. The rough drafts of the Declaration of Independence were written on hemp paper since it was one of the standard papers at the time, but the official Declaration which was signed in Philadelphia is inscribed on parchment.

Staedtler pencils are black and red because they were big sponsors on the National Socialist (Nazi) Party in Germany in the 1930s (the Nazi's colours being red and black).

How is that a fact we did not know? I'm confused, Edisons views were that alternating Currect was not the future. Testla thought it was, Testla was wright Edison was pissed off, as he was the scientist who used electrisity to an amazing level and within his life time someone (Testla) had already mastered it to a higher degree than him.

I would be pissed off.

The Andromeda Galaxy is over 2,000,000 light-years aways, and in a bunch of billions of years, it will intercept and collide with the Milky Way, either merging into a larger galaxy or just pass though.

The name Wendy was made up for the book Peter Pan. There was never a recorded Wendy before it.

for women yes, it does appear before that as a male's name

this is more or less a question, why does the metric system mainly use meters, and not decimeters? The american system (I don't know what its called) mainly uses feet and not yards

Because a meter is small enough that it is easy to judge something in metres

decimeter is 1/10 of a meter or 10 centimeters, the common measurement for metric are cm, m and km or 10^-2, 1, 10^3 respectively

A photon created from a fusion reaction at the or close to the center of the sun will take several hundreds of thousands of years to reach the suns surface, and in this time will be involved in approx 10^22 collisions.

Providing or sun collapsed to a black hole and we survived the red giant stage the earth would be unaffected except for not receiving enough light as the force from gravity would be the same.

Generation III stars were created at the beginning of the universe, (Generation I stars were created most recently), consist only of hydrogen and collapse into a Hyper-nova, the resulting black hole, some scientists believe, is what is at the center of every galaxy.

If you were to step on the surface of Venus you would instantaneously die in four different ways, but I can't remember what they are.

Brown dwarfs are failed stars and have the approximate minimum mass of Jupiter.

Jupiter emits more energy than it receives.

I love my university course!

No offense, but doesn't that make you NEARLY the greatest people alive? Since he ended up committing suicide, everyone who fought in World War II can claim they didn't quite kill Hitler.

Glass is a liquid, not a solid - you can see this when you see windows on centuries old houses, the glass is thicker on the bottom of the pane.

this is wrong, it's not a liquid, it is a solid and they aren't thicker it's just poorly made glass

Actually, there isn't any good answer as to whether or not it's a liquid or solid since it displays properties of both and is atypical in the way it changes phases, so you could argue that both ways.

Those arguments need never occur if you call it what it's structure what it actually is, an Amorphous Solid.
