Which cartoon star had a guest appearance by Mahatma Ghandi in his second cartoon film?
Not Mickey Mouse, either.
I'd say it's the killer banana.............they are silent, stealthy killers on land, but notoriously bad swimmers, often drowning before they can launch their attack. So, humans are at greater risk of death from the Killer Banana than a shark would be.
If it's speak english, that may NOT be correct, as there is some evidence that he did learn english later on
Question : What fruit and veggie store item kills more people than sharks?
Answer :
Coconuts. They fall off the trees when they are ripe and crack peoples skulls. I have been down to Florida and have seen warning signs not to park in certain areas because of the danger of falling coconuts.

It was commonly believed that King George could not speak english, even though he was the King of England. It was common in those days to into marry royalty with royalty, and he was sent from Germany to be King of England. He became King of England at the age of 54, so who knows if he learned to speak English or not. Even Queen Elizabeth is married to close relative. Both HM The Queen, Elizabeth II and her husband HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh both are great-great-grandchildren of HM Queen Victoria. They use to do a lot of strange things back in the 17th. century.
A properly-sized thong requires a certain tautness to it, to prevent it from slipping off (which could be embarrassing if the lady is wearing a skirt or dress). To measure the correct tautness, you need to pluck the straps that go around the waist as well as the string between the cheeks. A properly sized thong, when plucked in this manner, will produce the "G" note from the musical scale. Hence the term: "G-string"!!
Thi biggest mess on the mountain is from discarded oxygen canisters. However, the base camps are actually far more disturbing if you've ever seen them.
I do not know if it is the same rules that apply now to expeditions to the South Pole and the Artic, you must bring all your garbage back with you including poop and pee. There are larger items left up there that these special expeditions are sent to bring back.
Answer :
The reason why it is a rule to bring back poop and pee with other garbage is that it last forever up on Mount Everest. So do dead bodies. There are about 200 dead bodies left behind from previous expedition going back 100 years. These bodies have not decomposed due to the cold. There is a plan to bring back all the dead bodies that have been left behind.

Cats were used in war, name the place, the time and the method in which they were used.

During the Crusades, the weapon of choice for besieging a walled city was the Trebuchet. Crusaders would load rocks into the sling and fling these rocks at the walls, eventually breaking them down & granting the Crusaders access inside.
As you know, the Crusades lasted a pretty long time and good-sized rocks where getting scarce.
While besieging the medieval town of Masyaf, in what is presently Syrian, the troops of Cedric the Moustached ran out of rocks before the city fell. Desparate to take the city, as they were low on supplies, the Crusaders scoured the bleak desert looking for anything that they could launch from their trebuchet, but there was very little availble to them.....................
Except for a small breed of desert cat!!
The resourceful Crusaders modified their heavy counterbalance trebuchets into a tension-activated device and began to fling cats over the city walls. The flying, screeching cats struck absolute terror into the inhabitants of the town, and they promptly surrendered.
The trebuchet gave way to the more efficient Catapult, and the rest, as they say, is history!!!
In other words, human biological waste. Corpses are human biological waste. Score 1 for me!!
Answer : The Central Bank of Iraq
Central Bank of Iraq
18th March 2003- Baghdad, Iraq: $1 billion
Some robberies require careful planning. Others use brute force. But the largest in history was as simple was it was effective. Saddam Hussein treated Iraq as his own personal fiefdom, so it’s no surprise that he would feel that the Central Bank of Iraq was his personal bank account. The day before Coalition forces began bombing Iraq, he sent his son Qusay to make a withdrawal on his behalf with a handwritten note. Qusay oversaw the withdrawal of boxes stuffed with $100 bills in a five-hour operation which netted the dictator about $1 billion in US dollars. It didn’t get him very far, as he was caught sometime later hiding in a hole in the ground whilst his son was killed by US forces. Approximately $650 million was later found by US troops hidden in the walls of one of his palace’s, though the remaining $350 million has never been recovered and is considered lost.
Although the circumstances were never fully explained, Mr. Greene lost the tip of his penis while filming a segment on the blowfish.
