The etymology of "assassin" says the word evolved or was adapted from Hashshashin, an old group of Persian guards / soldiers [see Wikipedia, Assassin]. "Invent" is the wrong word here, same as you can't say Vasco da Gama invented America or Johann Krapf invented Mt Kenya.

Talk?

Really - they have no business up there!

20. A snail can sleep for three years.
Big deal! Baks can do even longer

21. All polar bears are left handed.
BTW, since we have rats all over the world, do we have polar rats?


24. Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.

Most obese gringos can't, huh?

32. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over a million descendants.

Musta been the inspiration behind UB 40's There's A Rat In The Kitchen?

35. Most lipstick contains fish scales.

Coca cola was actually a traditional brew in in old America made from Coca bush which is closer to cocaine quality but toned down. It was banned from production due to its narcotic elements. So, what we call coke today is a farce.

I thought it had something to do with the Great Plague of 1665 that killed about 100,000 people in London in 18 months ... Apparently, the first symptom was a sneeze. So if you sneezed, people knew you are most likely going to die; thus "BLESS YOU"

At that rate, they should surely have evolved into a different animal if evolution ever worked.
