Lots of websites seem to be created for (and/or by?) ostrichs.

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain
but is it bigger than it's stomach?
Here's some more practically useless facts
No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times
and
It is impossible to lick your own elbow.
Ever eaten ostrich?
No, but I believe that you can get Ostrich burgers in some pubs here. I take it you weren't keen? I would imagine it would taste rather like duck.

Limbo, has someone bought you a book of facts or something? ;) Or perhaps you have come across one of those 'daily fact' calendars?
I can, and I bet he [snopes.com] can too.
I wonder how many suckers tried to lick their own elbows after reading this...
I did... and I can!
Tastes a bit like your chair's armrests, doesn't it?
Elbow Licking
Contrary to popular urban legend, it is quite possible to lick your own elbow. Guinness World Records receives about five claims a day for this and we would like to stress the following point: being able to lick your own elbow is not, in any sense, a world record.If you're one of the admittedly rare few who can lick your elbow, save it for the water cooler. Please don't email us!

Err, Macguru, does that mean you have....?
And are you serious about being able to do that? I have to admit I tweaked a nerve between my shoulder blades attempting the manouvre - infact on sending an e-mail of the same content this morning I witnessed at least 4 workmates all trying said action. Glad no one was taking notes.
I bet giraffes, with the longest tongues in the world, have no problem with the elbow lick ;)

Do Giraffes actually have elbows?
Actually, no. But I figured elbows are not supposed to taste like vinyl.

Yeah, I did so while you where trying to lick your elbow. Typing with your toes can take more time. :)

I thought my webcam was off?
I also like to type with my.. err ... elbows which can result in tongue trapping oddness and strgane tpinyg erorsr.
I think technically all mammals have elbows, beacuse we all contain the joint between low and upper arm. But looking at giraffes you could be forgiven for thinking they had four (disproportionately large) kneecaps and no elbows at all ;)
