ive heard its a lot longer, sometimes to the millions of years

How do 'they' know this?

I thought this thread was all about facts, not wild guesses from scientists with nothing important to invent.

My daughter can. She is really bendy and seems to have a particularly long tongue though.
BTW she's 13 so no 'pics please' or 'can I meet her?'.

If you're standing at the bottom of the earth, the south pole then walk 280 yards north (lets call this Point A), when you begin to walk West you'll be walking in a circle for one mile before returning to point A. Then all you need to do is walk 280 yards South to get back to where you started!

Yes but that is NOT what the quote said:

"Contrary to popular belief, there are an infinite number of places on earth where you can walk South one mile, then West one mile, then North one mile, and end up exactly where you started."

You can't just go randomly changing which direction you do first!!!

Davi, start anywhere 1 mile, 280 yards away from the SP. This will always be exactly 1 mile, 280 yards NORTH of the SP. Walk one mile South. Plant a flag. You are now 280 yards away from the SP. Walk one mile E or W (doesn't matter which). You will be circling around the SP and will end up one mile later back at your flag because the world is round. Then retrace your footsteps N to where you started.

So you say.

Console makers 'Nintendo' started life as a brand known as 'Marufuku' who produced playing cards way back in 1889. It was'nt untill 1907 that 'Marufuku' changed its name to its most current brand (Nintendo) when they westernized!

'Nintendo' means "Leave luck to heaven"

They may be able to look up, but they definitley cannot walk backwards.

again wrong, I think we need a new thread so I can video them and disprove them

I'm with Silent on this!

My GS dog is clearly able to look up wether sat or standing. She always looks up in amazement of the ceiling fan when switched on. Does'nt matter if she's directly under it or looking at it from the other side of the room.

It's hilarious watching her watching the ceiling fan...I'm suprised she does'nt get dizzy with all that head movement

Then can walk backwards. My CKCS is trained (use the term loosely) to sit and then will walk back on command.

polar bears fur has only the very tip white, they are infact brown underneath like normal non polar bears.

If a polar bear feels threatened and wishes to hide itself, it covers it nose.

If you cut a cockroach's head off ... It can survive for up to 9 days before it starves to death.

They also learn quicker with their head cut off. A nerve plexus takes over and learns more efficiently than its brain.

It can also live off a greasy thumbprint for a week...and if human sized would cover 100 metres in one second

Polar bear fur is transparent, not white. All Polar bears are left pawed, Polar bears Latin name is Ursus maritimus, Ursus arctos is the Latin name for the Brown bear.
