Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks
the
mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there. Dentists have
recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a
toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. The
liquid inside young coconuts can be used as substitute for blood

was afraid of mice. Pearls melt in vinegar. Thirty-five percent of
the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.
The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro,
Coca-Cola,and Budweiser, in that order. It is possible to lead a
cow upstairs...but not downstairs. A duck's quack doesn't echo and
no one knows why. The reason firehouses have circular stairways is
from the days when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses
were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up
straight staircases. Turtles can breathe through their butts
Butterflies taste with their feet. In 10 minutes, a hurricane

A duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why. People who've hunted ducks (or just enjoy walking through their habitats) can tell you that this isn't true, as long as the terrain is right for echoes (and the witness in question hasn't been brainwashed by this myth.) Haven't you ever heard the quacks of a flock of migrating ducks echoing throughout the countryside? Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.This should maybe say, "only land mammal". It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow.Depends on how flexible the "you" in question is. I went to school with a boy who could bend every joint in his body backwards... he could lick his elbow. Alternatively, some people aren't extra-flexible but have unusually long tongues. The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building. Myth. This has been said, at one time or another, of almost every famous college. Read here: http://www.snopes.com/college/halls/sinking.htm |
Heh. I noticed a whole bunch of things in there that either I know to be false or were simply misrepresented, but I'm sure there are still plenty of interesting ones that are true.
Anyone who hasn't browsed snopes.com should. Z |

Much of the message is accurate, near as I can tell, though when I see a message with a lot of "accurate" facts for no particular reason for existing, then I suspect something. Usually what happens is toward the end of such a document they start transitioning from reasonable stuff to an agenda, and it's easy to roll right along with it, until you find yourself thinking "Yes, why not turn old people into food?" |
