But you have. You started a thread titled 'interesting fact', and then proceded to string together a largely uninteligeable post with some random words, none of which could be considered either a 'fact', or 'interesting'.
When this was pointed out to you you proceeded to ignore common sense and argue your point even though it's embarrasingly clear that you're wrong. You then proceed to dish out these
as if that somehow makes you right.
It doesn't, and you're a div!

if an underground train braked at 5mph, this is equivalent to a car traveling at 2000mph

WTF ?
Here's an INTERESTING FACT !
A 150g piston in a modern 4cyl motor bike engine has the force of 5.7 ton when changing direction at TDC (at max revs).
Cant remember what the rpm was though.

While it is possible for elephants to "fall" with all four feet off the ground simultaneously, the construction of their legs (and massive body size) preclude a "jump."
Elephants cannot jump. It is physiologically impossible for them to do so, because of their weight. You asked how come I see them jump down off platforms, stand on their front legs, and do all kinds of other tricks at the circus, they will step down from a platform, but will not jump.

Goldfish pass memory test

.Goldfish pass memory test
By Mark Henderson,
Science Correspondent
IT IS time for the scales to fall from our eyes: scientists have claimed not only that goldfish have a memory span of up to three months, but that they can also tell the time.
The fish, previously believed to have a memory of just a few seconds, can distinguish between different times of day and can also be taught to follow a routine, according to research.
Scientists at Plymouth University have successfully trained the fish to collect food at particular times of day, showing the popular notion of the three-second memory to be very fishy indeed.
The findings add to a growing body of evidence that fish are much more sentient and intelligent than had generally been assumed.
Recent research has suggested that fish feel pain when they are caught on a hook, can be manipulative and socially aware, have long memories and are able to recognise their shoal-mates.
The research, led by Phil Gee of Plymouth University, has added a sophisticated body clock to the piscine intellect. In his experiment, goldfish were placed in a bowl in which they were fed only when they pressed a lever. The fish rapidly learnt that pressing the lever produced a food reward.
Once they had been trained in this way, the researchers set up the lever to work for just one hour a day. The fish soon became wise to this, and learnt to press the lever at the same time every day to feed. The fish worked out that if they hit the lever around that time, they would get some food, Dr Gee said. Their activity around the lever increased enormously just before the set hour when their food was dispensed.
But then if no food came out, they stopped pressing the lever when the hour was up. It shows that they are probably able to adapt to changes in their circumstances, like any other small animals and birds.
The study could have implications for fish farming, Dr Gee said. He suggests that it should be possible to train trout and salmon to swim to feeding stations on certain signals, making it easier for farmers to monitor and harvest their stock.
