Did you know that giraffes don't have vocal chords? If anyone asks you what sound a giraffe makes, just silently stare at them.

No REAL words wise guy. You do seem to be on to something with the "month/millionth" rhyme though...

Sporange: a structure within which spores are produced.
Curple: a leather loop passing under a horse's tail and buckled to the saddle.
Chilver: a ewe lamb.

I'm not sure of their real validity as words nowdays, but they are certainly real words.

You might want to look them all up then.

I just did. There are no dictionary results for any of them (except millionth). If they were words, they aren't now.

Looked that one up too. It's not a real word.

There are slant rhymes which are almost complete rhymes. Orange, Lozenge and Binge for example. Also, Chilver, etc, are real words. It looks like you got those words from an internet article, and the guy pointing out some words do rhyme looked at another one, such as this one.

Does it really matter at the end of the day when it's all just crap we all Googled in ten seconds?

I know about different types of rhymes. What I didn't know was that the words @Morphtroid listed were real. I thought he just made those up to be a wise acre. Sorry @Morphtroid. I guess the info I found was wrong. You were right I suppose.

Thomas Edison went around electrocuting stray cats, stray dogs, unwanted cattle and horses, as well as a circus elephant (to death) in a smear campaign against AC. Regardless of his reasons, (and no, don't tell me it was because he honestly thought everyone would die if we used AC) who thinks torturing animals to death is a good way to prove their point?

Some can. It's not totally impossible but only very limited people are able to do it.

There you go

Also, Registeel's sprite is changed in the non-English European versions of Diamond and Pearl, because the original sprite can be interpreted as a Nazi salute.

Huh. I looked up these words on dictionary.com, but they didn't have anything on these them. Not very accurate then, is it. Thanks for showing me this.
P.S. I had heard about the Registeel thing.
