I was watching Columbo last night and he had poison ivy on his hand and he was telling the murder suspect he didn't know how he got it since there is no poison ivy in California.

I also read somewhere that you can get bit by any animal in Australia and not have to worry about rabies because they don't have any there.

Does anyone else have any tidbits ?

I didn't know that about poison ivy, but I have heard about no rabies in Australia.

Orange Tabby cats are almost always males, and Calico cats are almost always 99 percent of the time female! If a Calico is a rare male he will most likely be sterile!
