If you post, try to have it be something scientific or a strange fact. You can even post a crazy law, so long as it's true.



I have seventeen brothers and sisters, twenty counting the ones I've never seen. Luckily, I don't live with most of them >.>

In Pennsylvania, it is state law that if you're in an automobile and approaching a horse-drawn vehicle or horse in general, you must pull over to the side of the road and wait for the horse to pass. If the horse is scared, you must turn off your car, take it apart piece-by-piece, and hide it in the bushes.

Let's say they're biased AGAINST green. That works better.
