ok this thread will work like this:
you start out answering yes or no in response to the question posted above. and then post one "did you know" of your own.
I'll go first.

Did you know that plants can communicate underground by releasing chemicals through root networks that can warn other plants of nearby fire or predators/parasites?

Did you know that, in addition to not particularly caring about plants, I also do not care about most life on this planet including at least 75% of this MUD's playerbase?

Did you know that Bonobo monkeys participate in homosexual acts(male and female) and incest in order to promote good relations among the group, and that if humans were matriarchal (since the Bonobo's are) it would be possible that we do the same thing?

Yes

Did you know that one of the most expensive (and best, and rarest) coffee grinds in the world comes from those beans that have passed through the digestive system of the Indian Common Palm Civet? (It's a cat/monkey type thing that eats only the ripest coffee cherries from the coffee trees, and then excretes them (intact). And whatever happens to the beans in the digestive system, gives them a really good flavour. So people collect the excreted coffee beans and thus came Kopi Luwak, US$300/pound)

Yes, but from what ive seen and heard its not the best coffee in the world and most ppl think it tastes like, you guessed it...s***. Its expensive because its exotic and hard to get.


Did you know that we used to have sloths called Ground Sloths roaming the earth (mostly North+South America I think) that were as big as an elephant?
