Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the plane that crashed in Iowa killing Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Richie Valens. He gave his seat to Richie Valens and road the bus instead.
Bobby Vee got his recording contract because he sounded like Buddy Holly.

they die from getting stepped on by humans  I think they just get eaten by their predators, or pet owners somehow kill them by not feeding them right or keeping them in a tank for too long. |

KD - reptiles die from predators and man
Antartica is the only continent without repitels or snakes
Australia is the only country that is also a continent
Bats are the only flying mammal and have only 1 baby per yr.
Giraffes are the only animals to be born with horns
Hawaii is the only US state that grows coffee
Honey is the only food that does not spoil
Maine is the only state in the US that is 1 syllable
A cow gives almost 200,000 glasses of milk in her life time
A rat can go longer w/o water than a camel
Camel milk does not curdle
Sharks are the only animal that cannot get sick, they are immune to ever know disease including cancer

The dome on Monticello conceals a billiards room (billiards were illegal in Virginia).
The names of the three monkeys are Mizaru (see no evil), Kikazaru (hear no evil), and Iwazaru (speak no evil).

Hey KD, you are probably right but this is useless trivia and I learned that back in highschool which was a few yrs ago.
Xena, the people killed in WWII in Oregon were also the only Americans killed on the main land by any enemy during WWII. Over 3 thousand bollon bombs were launch by Japan (for America) during WWII.

Cher, I wanna tumble that zircon. Where is it? Ok. Here's trivia: Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846. John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860. John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960. Both were particularly concerned with civil rights. Both wives lost their children while living in the White House. Both Presidents were shot on a Friday. Both Presidents were shot in the head. Now it gets really weird. Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln. Both were assassinated by Southerners. Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson. Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808. Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839. Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939. Both assassins were known by their three names. Both names are composed of fifteen letters. Now hang on to your seat. Lincolnwas shot at the theater named 'Ford.' Kennedy was shot in a car called ' Lincoln' made by 'Ford.' Lincolnwas shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a theater. Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials. And here's the kicker... A week beforeLincolnwas shot, he was inMonroe, Maryland. A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe. |

Despite the popular myth that "grand daddy longlegs" are the most venemous spiders in the world but can't bite because their teeth are too small, the truth is that they have no venom whatsoever. If fact, they aren't even a spider (but are an aracnic)

more crap:
A cockroach can live up to 1 week w/o its head
Amazon Ants steal the larva of other ants and keep them as slaves. The slave ants build and feed the Amazon ants. Amazon ants can do nothing but fight - w/o the slaves, they die.
Ants don't sleep
Mosquitoes prefer childern to adults and blonds to brunettes.
Mosquitoes kill more humans world wide than any other animal in the world.
You are more likely to be a target of mosquitoes if you eat bananas.
the venom of a female black widow spider is more potent than a rattle snake

I'll keep it going...
It is physically impossible to touch your ear with your elbow.
When an armadillo births it's litter, there are always four and the entire litter is the same sex.
1 in every 4 Americans has appeared on television (I have, have you?)
There are 336 dimples on a golf ball.
73% of you have now tried to touch your ear with your elbow.
And finally, 43.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
