Let me tell you about the platypus...
It's a furry mammal that lays eggs and has no nipples. It secretes milk out of its pores...
It has venomous barbs on its hind legs.
It has electroreceptors on its bill to help detect prey.
It uses its tail for fat reserves.
It has teeth when its young, but loses them by adulthood.
It walks on its knuckles

There is a 100% chance of precipitation when it's either raining or snowing outside.

Adding a drop of olive oil and lemon juice to an ice cube then running it over your face gives you better results than some expensive skin care products.

Every DeMatha Catholic High School varsity basketball player has received a scholarship to a major university (since Morgan Wootten coached). Morgan Wootten also ended Power Memorial High School's 71-game winning streak, bringing to a brief end the dominance of Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar). DeMatha Cathoic High School also has the most alumni in the NFL. Finally, two DeMatha players comprised the '83 Cardiac Pack, Dereck Whittenburg and Sidney Lowe. (Other DeMatha-State connections include Kenny Carr and Jordan Collins.)

"The Ginkgo tree is a unique species of tree with no close living relatives. The ginkgo is classified in its own division, the Ginkgophyta, comprising the single class Ginkgoopsida, order Ginkgoales, family Ginkgoaceae, genus Ginkgo and is the only extant species within this group. It is one of the best-known examples of a living fossil"

I think that it is also relatively fire resistant...

Quote :

"The structure is honored with the name of John William Harrelson (1885-1955), the first alumnus to serve NC State as chief administrator. As a student in mechanical engineering, he demonstrated his leadership skills president of the senior class, president of the Mechanical Society, captain of the student military unit, class historian, business manager of the Agromeck, and valedictorian of the class of 1907. Harrelson paid his expenses by pressing the clothes of fellow classmates, working nights for 12 cents an hour, and turning out the campus lights each night at 11 pm. By 1933, Harrelson had become full professor and head of the Deparent of Mathematics. From 1934-1953, Harrelson was dean of administration and chancellor, taking leave of absence to serve as a Colonel in WWI, and Deputy Chief of specialized training in WWII. Harrelson, known as "Colonel" by students and faculty, became college archivist when he retired. He left a $100,000 donation to NC State for art purchases and a lecture series."
