Title: Useless facts.....
Post by: CygnusXI on January 08, 2002, 12:24:35 PM
From an E-mail I received......

DID YOU KNOW???

1. Barbie\'s full name is Barbara Millicent 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.

5. People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you sneeze, you\'re heart stops for a mili-second.

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.

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 1 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 Federal Regulations, 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.

It\'s a good thing that there aren\'t many insects here in Iceland, so I\'s only have to worry about eating a bug for about 3 months a year.

Did you know that it is highly probable that Jesus was black?

"his skin like bronze over a fire" -somewhere from bible (check if you don\'t believe me)

What color is bronze over a fire? Black.

"People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you sneeze, you\'re heart stops for a mili-second."

From what I hear, they say bless you because when you sneeze, your spirit "escapes" or some bs like that. haha

Also, that Jesus black thing is freaky. Jesus could be up in heaven right now throwin\' down some flows ya\' heard. HOLLA!
