A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.

Why, do other fish blink with only one eye while the other stays open all the time?

is "Screeched" really one syllable? I definitely pronounce it "scree-ched"

Edit: deleted a hyphen that didn't even explain how I pronounce it, and I also realised it could sound monosyllabic in a certain accent)

Edit 2: (posted as a reply to another comment) I just looked it up and apparently what I considered syllables for my entire life until this moment is completely wrong. A syllable only refers to the vowel sound, not the individual sounds that make up a word. To clarify (for anyone else as stupid as me lol) with "Screeched", even though you are making 2 very separate sounds to say the word, only the sound with a vowel noise counts as a syllable, so the "ched" part doesn't count.

I feel reallly reallly stupid right now. Sorry guys.

Edit 3: Google definitions lies, a syllable is the individual series of noises and sounds that make up a word, so...yeah, to me "Screeched" isn't monosyllabic.

What are you, a character in Shakespeare? I could be wrong, but I think it's one syllable.

Are you saying that you pronounce the "ch" as a separate syllable? Because that's retarded.

I don't get this one. Didn't 9 people just die like a week ago in the church? I don't get the "with at least 4 victims suffering serious injuries or death in the US so far this year" part of your comment.

so 4 victims (at least) sustaining at least serious injuries, if not dying.

I think he means that in every shooting, at least 4 people have been seriously injured or killed. Could be more, but it's always at least 4.

12+1 = 11+2 and is an anagram, and "twelve plus one" is an anagram of "eleven plus two."

Shouldn't it be 1+12 to be the anagram? Commutative property and all.

The barnacle has the largest penis relative to its size. If a human male was as endowed as much the barnacle it could be on average 48 feet long.

What is the mirror you speak of? Is this a new invention?

Just messing with you. What I mean is, you have never really seen your face, only a reflection. You can't look down and see it like your arm or feet for example.

Bill Murray portrayed Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. In the animation the Real Ghostbusters Peter Venkman was voiced by Lorenzo Music for the first two seasons. Lorenzo Music also provided the voice of Garfield. In the movie versions of Garfield, Bill Murray provided the voice of Garfield.
