Sharks can puke their stomach (and than pull it back inside), just to wash it, and/or, to puke so predators will go eat the vomit instead of attacking the shark.
I saw a video of a shark doing it on Youtube, but I cant manage to find it anymore

I've been training these squirrels with peanuts to come into my apartment and on the porch, but I learned that you shouldn't give them salted nuts because they'll get sick. Instead, feed them unsalted nuts that are still in the shell.

A bullet fired from a Kalashnikov weighs only a quarter of an ounce, but leaves the barrel at more than 1,500mph. This gives it a force of impact equivalent to that of a brick dropped from the top of St Paul's cathedral.

Green chips come from potatoes that have been kept in storage so long that the sugar in them has caramelized.
Well I know they taste better for sure.

Octopuses have 9 brains, one main one, and one at the beginning of each arms. They are smarter than dolphins and they will totally rule the world one day, they can go out of water to get food and than go back into water.

I didn't mean to imply that you weren't correct the video explains there are 3 correct plurals it's just one of those things that make English extremely difficult and even those who do speak it don't know which is correct
and I love getting odd looks when I use octopodes
*edit* look even spell check doesn't recognize it

No I had a in depth conversation at work about this so I had to look it up. I initially was joking and thought it would be clitorpodes, to follow suit of the octopus, but no it was clitorides. So hot.

I think I remember my dad joking about that before to enjoy it while you have it.
I always thought we had one long one kinda which explains why it's there when we wake up.

I always thought we had one long one kinda which explains why it's there when we wake up.
I love dreaming
-------------------- Pour un instant, j'ai respiré très fort
Ça m'a permis de visiter mon corps
Des inconnus vivent en roi chez moi
Moi qui avait accepté leurs lois
J'ai perdu mon temps à gagner du temps
J'ai besoin de me trouver une histoire à me conter
Pour instant j'ai oublié mon nom
Harmonium - Pour un instant
--------------------------------------------

My dick stays hard
-------------------- Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
