Re: I Didn't Know That
Let me add something on my own...
Ordinary house in Malmö is a "palace" on the inside
Click on "Starta bildspel" to see the deceptively normal house that looks like a castle when you come inside. I guess I should add that this isn't a common thing at all here in Sweden!

It looks more like a museum. Does anyone actually live there??

The owners are selling it. But a lot of people want to buy it - to live in it!

Shouldn't it still be the fish? The frog may contain a smaller maximum dimension but it seems more massive than the fish.Ann wrote:The smallest vertebrate in the world is a frog. Isn't it cute?

All animals are motile in at least some phase of their life cycle. Venus Flytraps are not.TNT wrote:I'm surprised the Venus Flytrap isn't in there.

Re: I Didn't Know That
I'm still surprised, because they, unlike many other plants, "eat" insects and the like for nutrition, while other plants depend on nutrients in the ground. Kinda animal-like, if you ask me.

Re: I Didn't Know That
So do pitcher plants and sundews, but it's a lot harder to think of them as being animal like because of the lack of "teeth." The mechanism is very similar, though. If you consider a venus fly-trap as being animal-like then you must also consider the others.

Methionylglutaminylarginyltyrosylglutaminylserylleucylphenylalanylalanyl...sylalanylalanylthreonylarginylserine is the largest printed English word with a whopping 1,909 letters. It is the term for the formula C1289H2051N343O375S8, a Tryptophan synthetase A protein, an enzyme that has 267 amino acids. I got this from my dictionary.The Alien wrote:Did you know that pneumonosuperultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest word in the English dictionary?
