It is rare for a Venus flytrap to catch more than three prey in its lifetime.

I’ve been living in fear for nothing!

The saying “an elephant never forgets” is likely a variant of a Greek saying, “the camel never forgets an injury.”  Not to mention, elephants are trainable and retain a sense of territory or “home.” 

Crap.  Now I have to add the elephant to my list of animals that sound like serial killers.

Remember…. the elephant is thinking about what you did to it.  Forever.

If you think about it, the expression, “there is more than one way to skin a cat,” is pretty messed up.  I mean, who skins cats?  And why so many ways?  I couldn’t find a definite origin of the phrase.  In 1678, a variant of the idiom was first published as “there are more ways to kill a cat than by choking it with cream.”  That’s weird.  Also, Mark Twain used the quote a couple hundred years later.  It’s also been said that the saying comes from a gymnastics move called “skinning the cat,” but I don’t really buy it.  The only thing I do know is that skinning a cat is a harbinger of becoming a serial killer.
