ZOMG No Waehs! Post your No Waehs! :D

This is a thread for posting wierd things that are, in fact, true, even though they are, weird.

Did you know there is a such thing as a Sabre-toothed Deer?

ZOMG NO WAEH!!!!!1111one
It's really true, some species of deer have tusks, and one ancient one that is now extinct was called the sabre toothed deer. Nowadays, Chinese Water Deer and male Musk Deer have tusks. NO WAEH!

Did you know that there's a species of shrimp called the Pistol Shrimp? But here's the cool part- they do this thing where they make a vibration thing in the water like a pistol does that blast water at 62 mph or 100 kmh and raises the temperature to 17,852°F or 9,900°C. That's 1.6 times hotter than the sun's visible layer. Water that is 150°F or 66°C would burn your skin in only 2 seconds.


I found this awesome website called CrazyFacts.org that has a lot of "ZOMG NO WAEHS!" Here are some I found that I like:

•

  In 1962, an epidemic of laughing broke out in Tanganyika (now Tanzania). Starting among a group of schoolgirls, the laughter spread rapidly, eventually infecting neighbouring villages and forcing schools to close. It lasted for at least six months.
  
• 
  The amount of money spent on beer every year in the United States is roughly the same as the annual cost of the occupation of Iraq. So they could just give everyone free beer instead. Source

  The small town of Codell in Kansas was hit by a deadly tornado on May 20th, 1918. Not especially remarkable – except it had also been hit by tornados at around the same time in the evening, on the same day, in 1917 and 1916 as well.
  
• 
  King Charles VI of France, also known as Charles the Mad, suffered from the delusion he was made of glass. He even had protective iron bars sewn into his clothes to prevent him from shattering if he fell.

And I should be afraid of Tuesdays from now on.

Really? I'm left handed...

And that also means that Killer Bee, Odd, and my friend will probably live shorter.

I don't really believe that. Is it probably because the average lifespan of lefthanded people is lowered because they use things meant for righthanded people?

My mom never believes any of these. XD

A water spout in some place...I forget where...picked up a bunch of fish and, when it dissipated over land, dropped them all still alive on a nearby town. xD

^Lol, THAT is awesome. XD

Can you imagine just walking down the street and a huge flopping fish hits you on the head? O.O

I heard about that. It was somewhere.... foreign. xD

...Yes.

But what about the epidemic of laughter? 0.o

There was a songwriter who plagiarized the bass line of a song called Under Pressure. As a punishment, he had to give the band that made Under Pressure half of the profit from the song the songwriter made.

Wait...what just happened? XD I can't see our followup posts.

Haha, took you long enough.

Tourists visiting Iceland should know that tipping at a restaurant is considered an insult!

In most Spanish restaurants, I believe you can throw stuff on the floor when you're done with it. And in French restaurants, asking for ketchup is an insult to the chef's cooking.

In *insert forgotten country here*, belching loudly after eating is a compliment! :D

Did you know the Baltimore Ravens were named after the famous poem by Edgar Allen Poe: "The Raven"

Did you know Edgar Allen Poe wrote when he was...under the influence...of various things?
