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.

RE: cows A true fact illustrated by the students at Newcastle University's Castle Leazes Halls of Residence. The halls are situated on a moor where cows graze. At some point drunken students thought it would be a great idea to get a cow into their building. They put it in a lift and took it up to the top floor where they set it loose along a corridor. The cow could not be put back into the lift as it was so distressed and could not be led down the stairs. In the end it was destroyed - in the corridor. Now there are barriers at the halls to prevent anyone leading a cow into the complex.
Eh... ...there are no constellations in our solar system !! It consists of planets, the sun, asteroids and space dust.
