Alexander Selkirk
Alexander Selkirk, born Alexander Selcraig (1676 – 13 December 1721), was a Scottish sailor who spent four years as a castaway on an uninhabited island.
It is probable that his travails provided the inspiration for Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe.

Mollusca
Mollusks are animals belonging to the phylum Mollusca. There are around 250,000 extant species within the phylum, with an estimated 70,000 extinct species. It is an extraordinarily diverse group, and representatives of the phylum live in a wide range of environments, from the deep-sea to fairly moist terrestrial habitats.

Lloyd's started 418 threads in a year, that's 1.15 a day. He also has 6557 responses, not including notes. Lets assume 20 seconds for each thread start/idea and 5 seconds for each response, that's 418 x 20 seconds = 8360 seconds plus 6557 x 5 seconds, that's 32785 seconds, combined that's 41,145 seconds, which equals about 11.5 hours of actual typing time.

Shift around a few letters and Llyod spells Dolly,. Dolly was a ewe (July 5, 1996 – February 14, 2003) that was the first animal to be cloned from an adult somatic cell, using the process of nuclear transfer.[1][2] She was cloned by Ian Wilmut, Keith Campbell and colleagues at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh, Scotland. She was born on July 5, 1996 and she lived until the age of six,[3] and was dubbed "the world's most famous sheep" by Scientific American.

I knew this one kid who wouldn't take blood transfusions so instead they gave him apple juice and in the autumn he changed color, fell out of a tree and died!

Brain death is a legal definition of death that emerged in the 1960s as a response to the ability to resuscitate individuals and mechanically keep the heart and lungs working. In simple terms, brain death is the irreversible end of all brain activity (including involuntary activity necessary to sustain life) due to total necrosis of the cerebral neurons following loss of blood flow and oxygenation. It should not be confused with a persistent vegetative state, or, in the industry more commonly known as "Lloyd's disease".

The Stone of Scone, also commonly known as the Stone of Destiny or the Coronation Stone is an oblong block of red sandstone, about 26 inches (660 mm) by 16 inches (410 mm) by 10.5 inches (270 mm) in size and weighing approximately 336 pounds (152 kg). It was used for centuries in the coronation of the monarchs of Scotland, the monarchs of England, and, more recently, British monarchs. Other names by which it has sometimes been known include Jacob's Pillow Stone and the Tanist Stone, and in Scottish Gaelic, clach-na-cinneamhain, clach Sgàin, and Lia(th) Fàil.
Traditionally, it is supposed to be the pillow stone said to have been used by the Biblical Jacob. According to one legend, it was the Coronation Stone of the early Dál Riata Gaels when they lived in Ireland, which they brought with them when settling Caledonia. Another legend holds that the stone was actually the travelling altar used by St Columba in his missionary activities throughout what is now Scotland. Certainly, since the time of Kenneth Mac Alpin, the first King of Scots, at around 847, Scottish monarchs were seated upon the stone during their coronation ceremony. At this time the stone was situated at Scone, a few miles north of Perth.- Dog-earOct 6, 08, noon – Permalink

Petak je peti dan u tjednu, koji se nalazi između četvrtka i subote.
U većini zemalja s petodnevnom radnim tjednom, petak je posljednji radni dan prije vikenda, dana za odmor, što je u SAD-u dovelo do izraza TGIF (skraćenice za Thank God It's Friday) - "Hvala Bogu, petak je". Petak je i inspiracija za istoimeni lanac restorana. U nekim kancelarijama, radnicima je dopušteno da nose manje formalnu odjeću petkom, što je poznato kao Casual Friday ("Opušteni petak").
U romanu Robinson Crusoe, Petko je ime kanibala koga je spasio glavni lik na petak i koji mu je postao sluga.
Petak film s reperom Ice Cubeom kao glavnim glumcem.
U Islamu, petak je dan javnog obožavanja u džamijama. U nekim islamskim zemljama, tjedan počinje nedjeljom, a završava se subotom, baš kao i židovski i kršćanski tjedan. U ostalim zemljama, kao što su Iran i Afganistan, tjedan počinje subotom a završava se petkom.
Židovski sabat počinje zalaskom sunca u petak i traje do zalaska sunca u subotu.
U Kršćanstvu, petak prije Uskrsa se slavi kao Veliki petak u spomen na Isusovo raspeće na križu. Neki kršćani ne jedu meso petkom, i često jedu ribu (nemrs).
U nekim kulturama, petak se smatra nesretnim danom pogotovo ako je petak trinaesti, gdje je 13 nesretan broj.- Dog-earOct 6, 08, 12:13 p.m. – Permalink
