EVERY single numbering it's word for has at least one letter that is also in the previous number's word form. Also, four is the only number that has the same amount of letters as it's value.

There was once a surgery with a 300% mortality rate, it was an amputation. The doctor's assistant got his fingers cut off on accident, they and the patient both died of infection, and someone watching the surgery died of shock if I remember right.

There is a species of lizard (New Mexico Whiptail) that is only female. They copy their DNA an extra time during meiosis, allowing each gamete to have the proper amount of DNA.

Because identical twins have identical DNA, if a set of identical female twins both got pregnant by men who are identical twins to each other, the children would be genetically siblings.

well done. l was skeptical at first, but a quick google search told me the first on IS true! So is the second one. However, l don't need to search the last one. DNA is NEVER identical. ldentical twins don't exist. They may look similar to one another, but somewhere there will be a small patch that is different. Maybe inside their body, maybe external. lt doesn't really matter, but the last one is definitely NOT TRUE

Also, when performing surgery doctors don't have to put them back in too carefully. They will move back into place on their own, as long as they are placed in a way that won't cause complications

The old saw that a dog licking a wound will cause quicker healing is totally erroneous and dangerous. Remember, dogs lick their own behinds and will eat rotten food.

l did an internet search. both claims are false! What a surprise. And it's a post from my friend Robert Catte as well.. how nice! lf anyone is wondering why l am harsh on him, like, all the time, see his other comments everywhere else. Most (like 98%) of the ones l have seen are either bull**** or really (like REALLY) stupid. PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE HIS COMMENTS, PEOPLE! None of them are correct, or they are so dumb it is hard to imagine a human doing it. DO NOT TRUST HIM! That will be all.... thank you for coming

Actually, females lay the eggs, but they're stored in a pouch on the male, and they emerge in 9-45 days once fully developed.
