Elephants are the only animal that cannot jump. (OK, so that would be a good thing....)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)

Starfish have no brains. (I know some more people like that too.)

Polar bears are left-handed. (Who knew...? Who cares! )

NO ofcourse not ... you're just bored. >

So... my dog... must be a starfish!

Some? What about most? Or even everybody? If we were all a little more blind...we could understand more. Just by noticing less, like race, clothes, cars, and all that. But I guess this is all for nothing since the people reading this have eyes bigger than their brain...

Eh. I meant to ask where did you get all these crazily interesting facts from?

That would be from the book "Crazily Interesting Facts".

so I......must be a Polar bear!

*hehehe* - good one!

I'd have to argue that point... when the creature becomes small enough, defining a "brain" as such can bedifficult. A starfish's movements are based entirely on the animals surroundings. I guess you can think of it as a sort of if-then-else kind of logic.

So i guess it depends what constitutes a brain, or rather, wether the brain has to be centralised, rather than distributed. If we are going to say that a starfish has no brain, you will rule out a whole class of animals, such as small jellyfish, marine "filter feeders", various [you know those slimey slug like thingies, only much much smaller? i can't remember their name...]

so yeah, I'm standing up for starfish's rights to be counted as an "intelligent species"...

smaller, kind of like leeches, 'cept they feed on deep sea fish... anyway, they basically drift with the currents untill they happen to bump up against another fish see, then they basically start to consume them. they are however, very small, so the fish hardly feels a thing. You can see pictures of blue whalkes with thousands of these things on them....

still can't remember what they're called though...
