There’s a frog with mutton chops, retractable bone claws, and regenerates. Which explains why it’s known as “The Wolverine Frog”.

This species is roasted and eaten in Cameroon.

Could help to explain why there aren't any Cameroonian restaurants up here.

The northeast tip of Tennessee is closer to Canada than it is to the southwest corner of Tennessee. By like 150 miles.

Yeah I think it's that southernmost point island. 308 miles to 432, actually.

Until I saw this meme, I had no clue some people don't take the cheese out of the outer covering and just eat the whole thing.

People eat the outer covering? There's a pull tab. Yeesh.

Oldest’s friend who spent night a lot during high school chewed the wax after but didn’t eat it.

Those wax lips were tasty. Chee and chew and it just didn't go anywhere. But no. Not the cheese rind. There's mesh in there!

My kid is on a Christian Bale kick so we watched American Psycho tonight which I haven't seen since it came out TWENTY-TWO fucking years ago and I learned two things:

1. Don't watch American Psycho with 15 year old daughter.

2.

I blanked on the "U", but I was kicking myself after seeing the answer. Not like it's a new or obscure country.

Nothing to do with intelligence, I was just into geography as a kid and liked to play Sporcle when that came out. I'm overdo for making sure I can name every country one continent at a time. Too hard not to miss one random tiny country on the world map.

Pearl Jam's debut album, Ten, was named after Mookie Blaylock's uniform number.

I'm sure everyone here knows their original band name was Mookie Blaylock, but I didn't know they kept the homage with that album title.

Outscored Michael Jordan in a Finals game AND appeared three times on Parks and Rec? That's most interesting man in the world territory.
