And the cassowary is the second largest flightless bird on the planet which is listed by Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s most dangerous bird. They are one of the most dangerous animals to keep in a zoo as well.

Ela,
Since this thread is about useless info, let the Ol’ Atom-Splitter add to the trivia: peacocks do not lay eggs at all. Peahens do the egg-laying. Amongst peafowl, peacocks are male and do not have the necessary equipment.

That dextromethorphan hydrobromide is the active ingredient in Robitussin DM that, when taken in large amounts, can give you a weird buzz-trip similar to LSD.
Don’t ask how I know that!

Honestly, I did not know this information, but I will use it at my next dinner party! Think of the object of affection I will become! Currently all that I have is that I can quote three-fourths of the entire Rush Hour Trilogy!
Actually, you have taught us a lot more than Scooby trivia. Thanks for leading the Missional COG effort. I just discovered the blog recently and have gained a lot of insight for the approaching GA. I am a church planter from North Carolina (www.discovernorthpark.com) and have found it easy to bury my head in my own efforts here while ignoring what’s happening in the greater church world. Thanks for the helping me get my head out of the sand!
