I don't know...
I can't find any official standing on which way is right cause in previous text books of mine and the internet, I have seen it primaraly two ways; Americas are split into two or more sections, or it's all one. To me it being all one makes sense, since it's all one piece of land. And the terms North, Central, and South, were just designations refering to the region. Is Central America it's own continent? Or is it part of North or South when both are refered to as continents?
It's all so confusing...
Edit: I guess one would have to look at several definitions of the word 'continent'.

Well I think it's more of an instinct for most animals. Orgasms are just a consequense(sp?) (side-effect, reaction, etc.) of sex. As for dogs humping legs, I would think it's more of sexual impulse rather than pleasure, just like scratching an itch; though I don't doubt that he is getting some pleasure and/or relief out of either.
Anyway, most of these I just copyed and pasted if it wasn't obvious...

Dogs humping legs, IIRC, is about dominance or somesuch. I think it would be more accurate to say that animals have sex for pleasure, and reproduction is merely a consequence they deal with. "Only humans and dolphins do it for pleasure" is bullshit.

Even if the population is static, the total number of people that have to walk by constantly increases because people are born and die. So it'd still take forever.
There's still a lot of nonsense in there though; the spider thing was a hoax, and apparently sponges aren't animals anymore.
Edit: Oh, and the stupid handedness statistic is because people used to be forced to write righthandedly, so there're more older righthanders.

Every continent does NOT begin and end with the same letter.
Put it THIS way: If you count North and South America as the "America"s, then Europe and Asia should count as Eurasia, therefore breaking the "1st and last letter" rule.
::SIDE NOTE:: North and South America may be broken at the Panama Canal, but before the Suez Canal was dug, Europe, Asia, AND Africa were all connected.

I heard this from some science source, and considered it reputable, and parroted it from time to time. It's wrong, though. There's at least one species of monkeys that has sex like, ALL THE TIME- with juveniles, with members of the same gender, because they just ate, because they just met, whatever. They obviously like it, so....
However, most animals don't "have sex for pleasure", but I'll bet all of the mammals at least, enjoy it. It's also debateable what pleasure is... after all, dragonflies will eat their own tails if they can't find food (which kills them, eventually), so they obviously have hunger, but probably not pain the way we think of it. Insects probably don't have sexual pleasure they way we do, because they have a very minimalistic approach. Small biological robots and all.
So the more I thought about this question, the more it struck me as meaningless, unless they actually polled the brains of these other creatures during sex... and even then we don't know for sure.

I agree, the question is not well conceived.
Arguably humans would be the species that comes closest to ever having sex NOT for pleasure. Like, what's the comparative ethologist slinging here? That rabbits fuck for the purpose of perpetuating the species? Humans are the only species with members that can contact or articulate that sort of contingency. A human can say, "well, we'd better have kids, or who will take care of us when we're too old to plow the fields?" The rabbits just fuck.
Though we can distinguish two kinds of contingencies here, and I think that's where the confusion comes in. Phylogenic contingencies relate to the organism's evolutionary history; ontogenic contingencies relate to the organism history of interaction with its environment.
No question that rabbits fuck "because" in the past, rabbits less "disposed" to fuck tended to contribute less to the gene pool. The same is true for humans. But the question remains: what are the phylogenic and ontogenic components of fucking for each of these species? Specifically, how much learning is involved? One way in which rabbits might become more "disposed" to fuck is by finding it more pleasurable. This will tend to increase the subsequent frequency of fucking behavior, which doesn't deny that phylogeny is important to getting it started in the first place. But after that, yeah, pleasure is a component. Conversely, I'd argue against the idea that human fucking is ever entirely without phylogenic components. You didn't learn to get your first boner. I think both are involved for all except perhaps the lowest organisms, as cfalcon suggests.
The proof of whether fucking has ontogenic components for, say, a horse is simple: can you strengthen an arbitrary response from Mr. Ed by jerking him off each time he makes that response? I'd bet you 100 bucks the answer is yes, in which case it's clear that fucking has ontogenic components for horses.

North Ameerica and South America were separate continets that floated back and forth for two hunfdred million years. Then, about 2 million years agop, a ridge rose between them (Central America) and now they're connected. Enjoy.

The best palindromic word:
A
A palindromic phrase I want to see:
The Eht
The problem is, I don't think "eht" is a noun.
Heck, probably not even a word.

MORE pointless facts:
The Himalayas are still rising.
The United States is closer to Russia than it is to Cuba.
The tallest point in the continental U.S. is in the same state (around 250 miles, i believe) as the lowest point in the U.S.
The tallest peak in the world (using sea level as a starting point) would fit inside the deepest trench in the world.
Every piece of land on Earth would easily fit inside the Picific Ocean.
All the other planets combined in the solar system would fit inside Jupiter.
...more to come

Re: Sex for pleasure
From what I've heard, it's only dolphins and humans (and monkeys, I guess) who have sex with pleasure in mind, as in purposefully without the end result being a baby.
Of course, one can argue what "purposefully" means, which ends up begging the question "How concious are animals of their actions?" Since this is impossible to determine without futuristic mind-reading devices, there's really no way of knowing.
Ummmm:
*The average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime at night. I've read stuff on this and I believe that spiders would be stupid and be going completely against it's nature to willingly go into anyone's mouth, and it would be next to impossible to do it accidentally.
*The longest word in the English language is 1909 letters long and it refers to a distinct part of DNA. post word plz. I don't even know if uber-scientific words count as english, but I just want to see it.
*Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously. Sorry, but isn't there A LOT A LOT of things that would be lethal to take intravenously? Or at the least severly damaging... But if people can survive heroin, I guess we're not so vulnerable as I thought.
*The Pentagon, in Arlington, Virginia, has twice as many bathrooms as is necessary. Define "as is necessary." I won't disagree with the statement, especially if there is some regulation or what have you, but it seems quite... a general statement.
*The only real person to be a Pez head was Betsy Ross. And Chewbacca.
*When the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers play football at home, the stadium becomes the state's third largest city. This is just nitpicking, but does it actually constitute a "city"? I would guess that a city is defined, in part, by having it's own governance etc., or am I missing something?
The United States is closer to Russia than it is to Cuba. Booo! That's lame. Does this supposed "Alaska" place even exist?
Yes, North & South America are defined as being different continents. I am sure everyone was just waiting for what I had to say on the matter.

The official policy is that yes, it does.
However, my research has discovered that this is merely a ploy by the Canadian Snow Zombies so that we still-livings will believe that something besides pain and an eternity of frosty damnation lives above the border.
It is all lies.
