FF:NSW Crap you really should know, but don't.

I almost reached my elbow.....

 

I could but if I did I'd have to go to hospital!

 

Im going to lick my elbow till it kills me!

 

I couldn't, Gecko can...




Her own I mean

 

Here's a baby name suggestion, Menace - something I overheard in the library last year: "I'm going to call my kid Cerebral Cortex. Imagine growing up with that as a name..."


* The majority of people have more than the average number of legs.

* 2/7 of your life is spent on weekends

* The average person sleeps for 4 months in a year

* A 1990 Morgan-Gallup poll found that people who believe in Aliens outnumber people who believe in God by 5:1... (well, the poll WAS in America...)

 

I can't lick it dammit.

* A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.

* Duelling is legal in Paraguay as long as both parties are registered blood donors.

* If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds recieved in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

I like the name Adalita. She's my favorite rock chick, an i just love her.

 

Actually, I have to dispute the photocopier one !! I work for a leading photocopier company and I can tell you that unless there is a country somewhere that has 100% of calls being buttock related, I don't think it's true.

However, we did once get a call from somebody asking if it was safe to do so.... (we're still laughing from that one)

 

* You can drown a fish by pulling it backwards by its tail.

* That licky thing was on the radio a few days ago (I tried it out then, couldn't reach).

* The length of your foot is roughly the same length from your elbow to your wrist.

 

i have to disagree with that last point, ki-bara. my foot is several inches shorter than the aforementioned length.

And no.... I can't lick my elbow...

 

Did you know that ORANGE is one of two words that doesn't rhyme with any other word.

Do you think I remember what the other word is???

 

Chimney

 

I'm pretty sure Purple and Silver don't rhyme with anything either.

 

Hey djjb you know what they say about people with small feet...

 

ki, the leangth of your foot is also roughly equal to the circumference around your clost fist and your ankles.

A goldfish's memory span is three seconds

the ppl at the coke company use coke to clean the engines of their trucks.

if you put a t bone steak in a bowl of coke, it will dissolve in two days.

 

Chimney rhymes with

* Jiminy
* Polygamy

Kinda

 

ki-bara: ITS A MYTH, DAMN YOU!! A MYTH I TELLS YA!!!

I used to know heaps of useless crap.

 

so what happened, where'd it all go?

* Gilligan of Gilligan's Island had a first name that was only used once, on the never- aired pilot show. His first name was Willy.

 

I can lick my elbow!
.......But I think sprained my tounge when I did so.

* Is it physically possible to sprain a tounge?

 

I can't stop laughing!
Everyone in my office is currently attempting to lick their respective elbows. There are tongues going everywhere & everyone is talking with that "I was born on a pirate ship" lisp!
Too Funny!

You must have a very 'interesting' office there Adkin!

 

Opium I read somewhere the name Wendy came from a shortened version of a nick the author had for his friendywendy.

MM horses also can't burp... as a result if they get colic ie a bad case of gas, they stick a big needle in their gut to drain it.

In WA, also due to antiquated road laws, it's an offence to upset the nightcart... ask your nanna if you're not sure about that one

 

Sorry to dig this thread up, but I got an email......

-A crocodile can't stick it's tongue out.
-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.
-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).
-It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

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

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

Every one of the above list is a lie. It was made up and circulated by a guy who wanted to show how people beleive what they see on the net.

[Edit: Unless that's been crossed with another list, but the duck's echo is a dead giveaway. I'll try and hunt up the source, I think it's at snopes.com]

 

Here's another fake factoid:

In the 1950s a movie theatre owner in New Jersey flashed the words "Eat popcorn" and "Drink Coca-Cola" on the screen during movies. In the 6 weeks he did this popcorn sales rose by 58% and Coca-Cola sales rose by 18%.

Thus began research into subliminal perception.

 

Actually Kalor, I do beleive that there were a couple on that list that are true/mostly true.

For example, 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.

This is mostly true. That is to say, If you were to force your eyelids open and get yourself into a violent sneezing fit. I'm pretty sure you'd be seeing a doctor about getting your eyes put back in your sockets not too long after that
