I got this in an e-mail, very interesting LoL

1. Barbie's full name is Barbara Milicent Roberts.

2. It is impossible to lick your elbow.

3. A crocodile can't stick its tongue out.

4. A shrimp's heart is in their head.

People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because
when you sneeze, you're heart stops for a mili-second. (The real origin of
saying "bless you" came
from when small pox was an epidemic and that was the
first sign of the disease so people started saying "bless you")

6. In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of
80 years, no one reported a single case where an ostrich buried its
head in the sand (or attempted to do so).

7. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

8. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit

9. Between 1937 and 1945 Heinz produced a version of
Alphabetti Spaghetti especially for the German market that consisted solely of little pasta swastikas.

10. By law, every child in Belgium must take harmonica lessons at Primary school.

12. More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call.

13. Rats and horses can't vomit.

14. The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language.

15. If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib.If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your
head or neck and die. If you keep your eyes open by force, they will pop out.

16. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two
rats could have over million descendants.

17. Wearing headphones for just an hour will
increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

18. If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title 14, Section 1211 of the Code of FederalRegulations,implemented on July 16,
1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with extraterrestrials or their vehicles?

19. In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.

20. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.

21. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married.

22. A duck's quack doesn't echo anywhere, and no one knows why.

23. 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their buttocks.

24. In the course of an average lifetime you will,while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders.

25. Most lipstick contains fish scales.

26. Cat's urine glows under a black light.

27. Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is

different.

I know, right??

Bootsy Whoosh · 02-04-2002, 04:21 AM

Those are really interesting....the one that surprised me the most was the pasta swastikas....I dunno, that seems almost too outrageous to believe, but there are many other things on that list that I know are true

(for example, I actually knew that rats and horses can't vomit...but then, shouldn't any rat owner/budding veterinary student know such things?

)

I also knew about the Superman/Seinfeld thing, and I like to try to look for Superman sometimes. Oftentimes he is on Jerry's fridge.
