There are actually people who bother:

~A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds~

~A snail can sleep for three years~

~A dragonfly has a life span of 24 hours~

~An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain~

~A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second~

Now that we're all smarter.... which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?
