A rat can last longer without water than ..........

Fact

[chock]

Camels have three eyelids to protect themselves from blowing sand.

Also from a Penguin wrapper (so it must be true), a shark is the only fish that can blink both eyes !

Which fish can only blink one eye (then surely that is a wink...)?

By Jingo ...did someone mention Camels ???

You've heard of Ali Baba
40 thieves had he
Out for what we all want
Lots of LSD
He also had a camel
Stole it from a zoo
How he loved the camel
And the camel loved him too

Oh how the camel loved Ali Baba

Ali Baba's camel
Had run for miles and miles
His tail was pointing backwards
That's how a camel smiles

But Ali and his camel
They were both out of breath
They'd run so far, and laughed
so much,
They laughed themselves to
death.

Gather round the camp fire
Sing a roundelay
But don't sing out of tune
though
Eggs are cheap today
Sing of Ali Baba
Sing about his men
Sing about his camel and then
Sing it all again.

Ali Baba's camel
Loved Ali Baba so
No matter where he went to
The camel had to go
Some say that he's in heaven
But this I know so well
Where ever you think Ali's
gone
His camel's gone there too

Fact

This is a myth. Place a rat in the desert and the camel with out last the rat. The myth was based on a laboratory test done in ideal conditions, the tester did not test the camel under the same conditions.

A rat can outlast a fish tho.

Are you daring to argue with the oracle of all general knowledge known as McVitie's ??
Maybe you could take it up with them directly. They are at:
