Tell me something I don't know
RE: Tell me something I don't know
Despite their overall appearance, foxes are not dogs.  While both are Canids, dogs are Canines, foxes are Vulpines.

It has to be hamsters, since you put it up there.  It does not matter what is in the picture!

You were not supposed to add the answer while I was posting this.

North Korea uses a fax machine to send threats to South Korea.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Arthur Conan Doyle is believed by many scientists to be at least partially responsible for the piltdown man hoax.

Give us money or we blow up your fax machine!!!!
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The hashtag symbol (#, in case you didn't know) is actually called an octothorp. "Octo" denotes the eight points in the figure and "thorp", apparently, means "Thorpe".

Incidentally, the word "hash" in this instance is thought to derive from "hatch", as in hatch mark.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: Tell me something I don't know
Anton–Babinski syndrome, also known as visual anosognosia, is a rare symptom of brain damage occurring in the occipital lobe. Those who suffer from it are "cortically blind", but affirm, often quite adamantly and in the face of clear evidence of their blindness, that they are capable of seeing. Failing to accept being blind, the sufferer dismisses evidence of his condition and employs confabulation to fill in the missing sensory input.
