The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for bloodplasma. No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven (7) times. Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television. Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty (50) years of age or older. The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum. The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class. Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. Walt Disney was afraid of mice. Pearls melt in vinegar. 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. Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. (I keep my toothbrush in the living room now!) Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first US president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal." The second? William Jefferson Clinton. (Please don't tell me you're SURPRISED!?!!) And the best for last.... Turtles can breathe through their butts. (I know some people like that; don't YOU?)
A Duck's quack DOES, indeed, echo. :Smarty: The Boys on Mythbusters did a "piece" on it. They had a hard time. And it was very difficult. But they proved that a Duck's quack does echo. The sound expert could not explain why he had such a hard time "finding" the echo...but he did, eventually, find it.
They did the toothbrush thing on mythbusters as well. They found "particals" on all the toothbrushes, even the control ones that were in another room. Yech.
A duck's quack does indeed echo, the thing is that the frequency of the ducks quack is the exact same frequency as the echo itself, making it impossible to tell when the quack stops and the echo begins. The liquid inside a coconut can be used as a substitute for blood plasma simply because it's so pure and clean... Just basically clear water, not because the "coconut juice" has any particular medicinal properties Lightning kills more people annually than donkeys do, but believe it or not, sharks only kill about 120 people a year world-wide! :laugh: You burn more calories eating celery than the celery itself contains... So technically, if you went on an all you can eat celery only diet, you would starve to death! Apples wake you up quicker than coffee because the sugar in the apple is more quickly metabolized by your body than the cafeine in the coffee. The average bed mattress will roughly DOUBLE in weight over a 12 year period due to the fact they collect the dead skin cells your body sheds every night. The reason a piece of paper cant be folded more than 7 times is a question of mathmatics. Every time you fold it in half, you double the number of pieces of paper that will be folded on the next fold. By the time you reach the 7th fold, you have accumulated 128 pieces of paper. 128 pieces of paper will only bend, it wont technically fold anymore. I keep my toothbrush, toothpaste, and a bottle of spring water in my car. Not because I'm affraid of contamination, but to save time getting to work. I keep it in the console next to my hairbrush and electric razor ou: Abraham Lincoln was not born in the house he was born in. The true birthplace of president Lincoln has been lost forever because no one knows for sure exactly where it was. The log cabin at the Lincoln birth place visitors center is a reproduction, and is located in the GENERAL AREA of where they THINK he was born. Speaking of Lincoln, at the outbreak of the civil war, president Lincoln was convinced his armies could not beat the south because of 1 man, General Albert Sydney Johnston of the confederate army. He was considered the best military leader in the world at the time. Ironically enough, he was killed in the first battle he over-saw for the south,,, Shilo. Even more ironic, he bled to death, and died, because he had sent his personal doctor to care for wounded captured union troops :shock: Did you know- Pigs have orgasms that last for 45 minutes Did you know- Americans are so chronically overweight because their always thirsty... It's true. The "thirst" reflex is commonly mistaken for hunger, so to quench our thirst, we fill our stomachs with food! Dont believe me? Drink a large glass of water the next time you feel like grabing a mid day snack. Wait 20 minutes and the hunger will go away! All that you have learned from this thread- but the only thing you will remember is that pig orgasm thing p
That thing about drinking water is true. I have done that at several times when I was hungry I would drink then I wouldnt be hungry anymore.
