That’s the Jacked Fact These facts arrived in my email box. In case this same email is forwarded to you, let me be about the business of debunking and light shedding. Interesting Facts: So can the liquid inside a piña colada. No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. My guess would be one time. After that, you’re folding it in quarters, eighths, etc. Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. That may explain why so few people ride donkeys to Chicago. The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache. What about Billie Jean King? Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. No matter which way Uranus rotates, I don’t want to hear about it. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. It’s true that the acid in apples helps keep you awake better than caffeine, but for the initial wake-up, nothing takes the place of the good old-fashioned ice cube in the butt crack.
The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets. There are no plastic
things on the end of my shoelaces. The donkey of death chewed them
off. Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. Big deal. So are most of our lampshades. The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. There is no Marlboro Company. Marlboro cigarettes are made by the Philip Morris Company. Philip Morris died in 1873 of…your guess is as good as mine…could have conceivably been lung cancer…could have conceivably been shot by an ex-smoker having a bad day…could have conceivably died of chronic self-righteousness.
Pearls melt in vinegar. The
vinegar doesn’t melt pearls, it dissolves them. And it takes
a while. No need to steer clear of the salad bar when you’re all
decked out. The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca-Cola, and Budweiser, in that order. As of 2007, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and IBM, in that order, are the three most valuable brand names. http://www.finfacts.ie/brands.htm
Those downstairs cows are an unruly bunch…anarchistic they are! But seriously, that explains why you’ve never seen a cow in the basement.
A duck’s quack does echo. You can hear one here: http://www.acoustics.salford.ac.uk/acoustics_info/duck/?content=index (Some people will believe anything they read on the Internet and no one knows why.)
Some turtles can, true. What’s even more remarkable is how so many
of our politicians (on both sides of the aisle) can talk
through theirs. On average, 100 people choke to death on ball-point pens every year.
Well, if they choke to death, how can they keep doing it year
after year? Who are these people? The pretzels would probably have
gotten them sooner or later anyway. Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
Turtles can jump? They’re animals too. What about dolphins? Sure,
they can fly out of the water, but is that jumping? If that’s
jumping, then so is bungee jumping and elephants could do that. An
earthworm is an animal (it’s not a vegetable or a mineral); when’s
the last time you saw one jump? Women blink nearly twice as much as men. They’re blinking with incredulity at the stupid things we say. It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow. But cheer up! Other fun bones are quite within range. Besides, it’s not mentally or spiritually impossible, just physically.
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. Bullshit. http://www.iuinfo.indiana.edu/HomePages/100199/text/library.htm
By
that time, the vibration from the snoring literally shakes them to
pieces. Seems like they’d have to get up and take a leak every month
or so, doesn’t it? This also goes a long way toward explaining why
snails make such lousy security guards. But they’re wonderful
convenience store clerks. A human, living to the age of 70, can
easily sleep for 17.5 years. No word in the English language rhymes with MONTH. If you let Fats Domino or Loretta Lynn sing it, any English word can rhyme with month.
Both of my ears are the same size and have been since birth. Too bad it’s not the IQ that never stops growing…. All polar bears are left handed. Yeah, but only above the Equator. The North Pole southpaws. A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. Which crocodile is that? Oh, all crocodiles. Damn, and I was going to get a crocodile to lick my elbow. Alligators can, however, thumb their noses and flip you a bird—and that’s a croc.
