Did you know that in a research performed by the University of Indiana on 200 couples, six months after the birth of their first child all people, male and female, had a drop of at least 12 points in their IQ, while most of them had a drop of 20 points or more?
Did you know that anticoagulants have been used to control the populations of vampire bats?
The anticoagulants would either be injected in cattle (so the cattle wouldn't be harmed but the bats that would prey on it would), or smeared on bats, so when said bats would return "home", 30-60 of their fellas would die in the process of trying to clean it off.

Are you sure it's anticoagulants? or that that's all there's to it?Siren said:
If that were injected into cattle (or anything) it would be very bad for them ..if they were to get even the slightest cut or wound. And how exactly would it kill vampire bats exclusively?
@Mags: Yes, i'm sure it's anticoagulants, warfarin and diphenadione have been used.
Apparently the dose is small enough to not harm the cattle, but big enough to harm the vampires. From what i read it causes internal bleeding to the bats.
Here's some links: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?1972Sci...177..806T
diphenadione (di·phen·a·di·one) (di-fen²[schwa]-di¢[omacr]n) an indanedione anticoagulant administered orally; it is also used as a rodenticide, causing fatal hemorrhaging in many mammals consuming sufficient doses. Called also diphacenone.
warfarin (war·fa·rin) (wor¢f[schwa]r-in) [named for Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation] a synthetic coumarin anticoagulant; it is also used as a rodenticide, causing fatal hemorrhaging in any mammal that consumes a sufficient dose.

Mags: No, I didn't know that. *adds to mental fun facts storage* For me, it's even more unexpected than Sweden's then oversized airforce.

DYK... that I need your help on something?
Im trying to figure out the best way to decorate my room.
This is its current state: www.konnor.tjwuppert.net/mowle/room1.jpg (One pixel being one centimeter)
This is what I thought was the most intelligent solution: www.konnor.tjwuppert.net/mowle/room2.jpg
The idea I had was to seperate my workplace from the computer, because in my old room I had both on the same desk, which was disatrous. Also, that way I can make use of the light of the windows. I'll use the cupboard from both sides to put CD's, books and whatnot in it.. that way it also gets to seperate the room.
What do you think?

DYK that capitalization is the difference between
"I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.."
and
"I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."
"I had to help my uncle Jack off a horse.."
and
"I had to help my uncle jack off a horse.."
Jack Johnson: I think you'll appreciate I put my own expertise on your dilemma and came up with a 3rd suggestion for you..
Mine is, of course, based on efficiency; and I gave you the most possible ample space for you to jump around and headbang all you want ..no need to thank me.
Oh, I also took the liberty of relocating your balcony to an area where it's a bit less in the way.
