Oo, ganun karami ang sinasayang ng mga lalaking balyena kapag mating season. Heto pa 'yung ibang mga (useless) trivia patungkol sa mga hayop:
.
1. Animals also are either right-handed or left-handed. Polar bears are left-handed - and so is Kermit the Frog.

2. When hippos are upset, their sweat turns red. (Astig.)

3. Sometimes a moose will approach a car, thinking it is another moose. They are very nearsighted animals. (Haha.)

4. A man named Marinus was so mad when a bear killed his mule that he captured the bear and taught him how to plow his fields.

5. Squirrels forget where they hid about half of their nuts. This is a major force in reforestation.


6. Sharks will eat anything. The only exception, is that they will not eat anything in the vicinity of where they give birth. This is because they are so stupid, this is the only way nature protects them from accidentally eating their own babies.


7. You can convince a cow to go up stairs, but it is nearly impossible to get one to come down. (Stupid Cow.)

The Nose-Picking Glossary
.
The Kiddie Pick: When you're by yourself and you uninhibitedly twist your forefinger into your nostril with childlike joy and freedom. And the best part is, there's no time limit!
.
Camouflaged Kiddie Pick: When, in the presence of other people, you wrap your forefinger in a tissue, then thrust it in deep and hold back the smile.
.
Fake Nose Scratch: When you make believe you've got an itch but you're really trolling the nostril edge for stray boogers.
.
Making A Meal Out Of It: You do it so furiously, and for so long, you're probably entitled to dessert. Surprise Pickings: When a sneeze or laugh causes snot to come hurtling out of your nose, and you have to gracefully clean it off your shirt.
.
Autopick: The kind you do in a car, when no one's looking. NOTE: Someone is always looking.
.
Pick Your Brains: Done in private, this is the one where your finger goes in so far, it passes the septum.
.
Pick And Save: When you have to pick it quickly, just when someone looks away, and then you pocket the snot so they don't catch on to what you did.
.
Pick And Roll: No explanation needed.
.
Pick And Flick: Ditto.
.
Pick And Stick: You wanted it to be a "Pick and Flick," but it stubbornly clings to your fingertip. (At idinidikit mo kung saan-saan. Yung mamang sinasabi ko, sa livewire nadikit. Malas lang niya. Kulangot.)
.
Paydirt: The kind where you remove a piece of snot so big, it improves your breathing by 90%.
