Coral reefs are colonies of micro creatures named pollups, little hair-like things that live on the top layer of the coral. The coral grows because the next generation is born on those that came before.

the deepest part of the world (ie closest you can get to the so called hell) is the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean is 11,033 meters deep which i work that out to be 110312623 pascals (newtons per metre squared and i assume the temperature of water at the that depth is 0.1>x>0 celsius) which is equal to 1103.12623 atmospheres (earth atmos) so basically if you were to sit at the bottom the pressure exerted on you would crush you into a blob 1103.12 times smaller that you are now. HA:drool:

just something i worked out while i was bored in Physics last friday

Never seen a horse puke? That's because they can't. Horses have no gag reflex and are incapable of throwing up. Sometimes their inability to throw up causes stomach upsets - which can be fatal.

In ancient England a person ! could not have sex unless you had consent

of the King (unless you were in the Royal Family). When anyone wanted to

have a baby, they got consent of the King, the King gave them a placard that

they hung on their door while they were having sex. The placard had

F.*.*.*. (Fornication Under Consent of the King) on it. Now you know where
