The events occurring to the ears of the woman who would become founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low -- take it away, Wikipedia:

When she was about 25 years old, Juliette suffered an ear infection. She persuaded the doctor to try an experimental treatment, an injection of silver nitrate. This treatment damaged her ear, causing her to lose a great deal of her hearing in that ear.
Marriage
At the age of 26, she married [...] A grain of rice thrown at the wedding became lodged in Juliette's good ear. When it was removed, her ear drum was punctured and became infected, causing her to become mostly deaf in that ear.

According to the rules of the Chicago Manual of Style, "date rape" as a noun and as an adjective in the case of "date rape drug" are not hyphenated, but the verb form IS hyphenated. So the correct sentence is "I want to commit an act of date rape by using a date rape drug to date-rape you." ]]> Faktpest http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10242&Focus=310634#Comment_310634 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=10242&Focus=310634#Comment_310634 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:13:35 -0700 JP Carpenter

Sponges (the ones that live in the sea - Spongebob for example) will reconstitute themselves overnight after being totally squished to mush by being squeezed through a sieve. You need to keep them in a bucket of sea water though.

Also, 'manx' is an anagram of x-man! Mutant cats!

The genetic mutation that causes Manx (tail-less) cats also frequently causes severe disease consequences because of its effects on the development of the spine and spinal cord. The various forms of spina bifida which commonly occur lead to complications which can cause partial paralysis, prevent normal behaviours, cause incontinence, and lead to painful infections.
