for you cat lovers out there!! >>>DID YOU KNOW THAT...cats—unlike humans, are not able to synthesize vitamin D3 in their skin. Thus, cats require vitamin D3 in their diets as an essential vitamin. Vitamin D can be found in cod and halibut liver oil, and in mackerel, salmon, tuna, and herring. ;D

Did you know No animal, once frozen solid (i.e., water solidifies and turns to ice) survives when thawed, because the ice crystals formed inside cells would break open the cell membranes. However there are certain frogs that can survive the experience of being frozen. These frogs make special proteins which prevent the formation of ice (or at least keep the crystals from becoming very large), so that they actually never freeze even though their body temperature is below zero Celsius. The water in them remains liquid: a phenomenon known as 'supercooling.' If you disturb one of these frogs (just touching them even), the water in them quickly freezes solid and they die.

Did you know
The word posh, which denotes luxurious rooms or accomodations, originated when ticket agents in England marked the tickets of travelers going by ship to the Orient. Since there was no air conditioning in those days, it was always better to have a cabin on the shady side of the ship as it passed through the Mediterranean and Suez area. Since the sun is in the south, those with money paid extra to get cabin's on the left, or port, traveling to the Asia, and on the right, or starboard, when returning to Europe. Hence their tickets were marked with the initials for Port Outbound Starboard Homebound, or POSH

In every show that Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt (The Fantasticks) wrote, there is at least one song about rain.
A kind of tortoise in the Galapagos Islands has an upturned shell at its neck so it can reach its head up to eat cactus branches.
The only city whose name can be spelled completely with vowels is Aiea, Hawaii, located approximately twelve miles west of Honolulu.
Parthenogenesis is the term used to describe the process by which certain animals are able to reproduce themselves in successive female generations without intervention of a male of the species. At least one species of lizard is known to do so.
Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten.
The word "Checkmate" in chess comes from the Persian phrase "Shah Mat", which means "the king is dead".
The ship, the Queen Elizabeth 2, should always be written as QE2. QEII is the actual queen.
"Quisling" is the only word in the English language to start with "quis."

Did you know that cow's milk has a cure for every illness in it?

Yes, it's true! On the authority of 'Abdullaah ibn Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him), the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:

"Drink cow's milk! For verily it (the cow) eats from all kinds of vegetation, and it (the milk) is a cure for every illness." [1

Did you know that one of the Companions was reported to have lived 250 years?
It's true! It has been reported that Salmaan Al-Faarisee (may Allaah be pleased with him) lived 250 years. Some reports even say 350 years. [2] However, this seems unlikely due to the statement of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam):

"The lifespans (of the members) of my ummah are between 60 and 70 (years). Few live beyond this." [3]
A number of scholars rejected the reports about Salmaan al-Faarisee living 250 years, like Ath-Thahabee, since there are no connected chains to any of them. He suggested that Salmaan probably did not live past his seventies [2], and Allaah knows best.

Did you know there was a man who memorized a million narrations of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)?

It's true! His name was Ahmad ibn Muhammad ash-Shaybaanee, also known as Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, may Allaah have Mercy on him. Aboo Zur'ah ar-Raazee said, "Ahmad ibn Hanbal had memorized one million hadeeth." [6]

This number may shock you, however it is not strange considering he was the called the imaam of Ahlus-Sunnah. Similar numbers have been reported about his peers and contemporaries:

al-Bukhaaree - 300,000
Muslim - 300,000
Aboo Daawood - 500,000
Aboo Zur'ah ar-Raazee - 700,000
Yahyaa ibn Ma'een - 1,000,000 (written) [7]

Some one might say - How can there be hundreds of thousands of narrations from the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)? The answer is from a number of angles:

-1- These numbers are very possible since the Companions used to focus on and talk about everything the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) did, said, and approved of. They also would describe his character and physical characteristics. The shaykh explained that they would talk about what he did from the minute he woke up until he went to sleep, where he went, how he walked, what he ate and drank, how he prayed, what he said to whom, etc. They reported everything they saw from him. [8]

-2- These numbers include narrations that come by way of different chains. One hadeeth may have dozens of different chains, and each one is memorized and considered a hadeeth. Ath-Thahabee said about the 1,000,000 narrations of Yahyaa ibn Ma'een, "He meant with repetition (one hadeeth with different chains and wordings). Do you not see that he (Yahyaa) said: 'If we had not written the hadeeth 50 times we would not have known it.'" [9]

-3- These numbers also include a number of statements and actions of the Companions (mawqoofaat) and their students (maqtoo'aat). [10]

It may also be asked - Is it really possible for one person to memorize hundreds of thousands of narrations? The answer lies in the early scholars' understanding of the word memorization (hifth). Some of them understood it means word-for-word memorization, while others understood that it includes a man knowing exactly where the narration is found in his book, or that he knows of the narration in a general way. [8]

And Allaah knows best.
