No.
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?
(Aside: sci-fi readers -> Dune series: Reverend Mothers / most especially the Honored Matres)

Did you know that celeborn wrote this many many years ago? Wow how much has changed!

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?
