Yeah, I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure snails cant jump.
Neither can us white men.
I believe it’s elephants are the only mammal that can’t jump.
What about whales and dolphins?

I’ve seen plenty of white guys with “hops”…
I don’t think hippos are able to jump either…fatasses…

Dolphins and whales are aquatic mammals. They have lungs to breathe with, not gills like fish do.

A little bit over 6.5 kilograms of it could theoretically wipe out the entire human race (http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/popclockworld.html)
Wikipedia differs, closer to what I learned in microbiology:
It is possibly the most acutely toxic substance known, with a lethal dose of about 200-300 pg/kg, meaning that somewhat over a hundred grams could kill every human on earth (for perspective, the rat poison Strychnine, often described as highly toxic, has an LD50 of 1 mg/kg, or 1 billion pg/kg).

I don’t believe you.
Ummm, I’ve been in lots of parlors where the cow has to step down. So I’m pretty sure that one’s wrong, from experience.
What kind of Parlors??? I’ve seen some large people in Ice Cream Parlors.

I’m sure I can find a stupid remark from a mostly Australian forum. That doesn’t mean that all ‘Aussies’ are stupid does it?
All I’m saying is, that was a very ignorant remark, but I won’t judge all Australians by you.

They did take a few minutes in school to tell us that your country was settled by convicts and the dregs of society.

Just stirring, it’s Aussie humour to make fun of everyone, including yourself. We’re not much better here anyway, we’ll become another US state soon. People here know more about US history/geography than they do Australian. We learn only the nice bits of our history, there’s plenty of slaughtering of native people etc that most of the population don’t even know about. People are getting stupider by the minute, the average person is so ignorant.

No worries. Every country has parts of its history that nobody’s proud of. There are a lot of parallels between Yank and Aussie history.

But which country has huge problems with their current citizens beign incarcerated, does that mean yank criminals are to dumb to get away with criminal acts? Or Austrlians are just to smart and get away with criminal acts?

Wikipedia: Taxonomy:
So for instance in common schemes of scientific classification of organisms, the root is the Organism (as this applies to all living things, it is implied rather than stated explicitly). Below this are the Domain, Kingdom, Phylum (plural, phyla), Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species, with various other ranks sometimes inserted.
Wikipedia: Common garden snail:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Gastropoda
Order: Pulmonata
Family: Helicidae
Genus: Helix
The Genus Helix belongs to the Family Helicidae. The most well known species are: Helix aspersa (Brown Garden Snail), Helix pomatia (Roman Snail, Burgundy Snail, or Edible Snail).
If you want to have real fun, look for the Philogenetic tree: Phylogenetic tree - Wikipedia
