Orangutans are the world's largest tree dwelling animals! A restaurant in Houston, Texas, USA, commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking on April 14, 2012, by offering a re-creation of the last meal served to the ship's first-class passengers for a price of $1,000 per person! In 2011, German police fired only 85 bullets in altercations with people- about 1 for each million of the country's population!

German police shoot less because they have a less violent culture and crime rate. Us Americans love our guns and love to use them on others, as well as inventing new and disgusting ways to disrespect each other. Any wonder why we have so much crime?No, I’m not anti-American (am one), nor am I a liberal. The truth is the truth, and it hurts sometimes.
