I'm calling your bluff. the underbelly and majority of the upper legs are white.

That means black is the actual color of the fur, and the white patches are simply the areas that lack pigmentation. To top it off, most zebras have dark skin beneath their fur.

HowStuffWorks: Are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
Quote:
Studies of zebra embryos show that, early in development, they are black and they develop their white stripes later.

Many of you may know that Olympus Mons on the planet Mars is the largest mountain, and largest volcano, known to man. What you may not realize HOW large it is. Consider this to-scale artist rendering of Mt. Everest, Maxwell Montes (on Venus) and Olympus Mons

Everest would almost fit in the CRATER of Olympus Mons

Mons is a name for lady parts

mons (n.)
from Latin mons (plural montes) "mountain" (see mount (n.)); used in English in various anatomical senses, especially mons Veneris "mountains of Love," fleshy eminence atop the vaginal opening, 1690s; often mons for short.

So Olympus Mons must have been a major slut to be that wide open.

That pretty much all mobile phones can now be charged with any charger.

My sister let me use her BB charger to charge my S2 and my mind was blown. I am charging my Nexus 4 with my S2 charger. They all have the same connection thingy, when did this happen?

It's fantastic; brilliant news.

They're not universal. Be careful if you use other chargers because you can break the tiny pins in the plug and in the phone's socket, and then it won't charge at all. And they won't cover that under a warranty either because it would be something you did to it. I would only recommend using the charger that came with the phone. You can buy replacements from your mobile retailer if you lost it.

I didn't lose it, I did it because the Samsung charger has a long cord and the Nexus charger is dead short. They have exactly the same ports, but I won't be doing it again.

Worst post ever.:(

They might have the same ports, but trust me, the tiny pins inside are minutely different.

Phone chargers might not be cross compatible, but apparently "suck" is.
