I have heard of this, it appeared in a movie too, but I can't recall which one. Did you perhaps get this from that movie as well? It is quite true and those things are very interesting creatures~ @iLney: I wanted to be a biologist originally in Highschool, but I was still quite superstitious. I love science and logics, but sometimes it's fun to be a little effected by nonsense hehe~ |

That makes more sense, reading your response and the original comment in context; what you're saying is a lot of people accept science without really understanding it. This is very true.
Unfortunately, the average person really doesn't understand science, and our public school systems don't really make a concerted effort to instill an understanding of science and the scientific method within the average person...

But yeah, I saw a discovery health special about a guy whom this happened to. That must have SUCKED... he was terrified because normally when the Candiru lodge themselves in fishes' gills, they EAT EVERYTHING in the immediate area. You can see the concern, here. >_<

I died inside. Another fun little space fact, the Earth moves through space at 600,000 miles per hour. |

Haha, I am sorry you had to face that. I can't believe she didn't know~ Now she does and you can pretend she did all along
That is really cool. I knew Earth had to move fast to fully go along it's path around the sun, but I didn't know how fast. Astronomy is so interesting to me~ |

The closest star to our planet is actually one of the three, Proxima Centauri, at 4.24 light years away. The planet Gliese 581 g is a possible candidate for a "Goldilocks planet," a planet that may contain liquid water and other habitable conditions for Earth-like life. There are problems classifying it as such, however, due to the star it orbits being a red dwarf and the possibility that the planet is tidally locked to its star.
