            I got this in an email from my dad one time. But I think this one has some others that weren't in the one I got. Fun stuff.

              Oh dear.

              1. It is impossible to lick your elbow.
              Unless you have a slightly larger tongue, or you can dislocate your shoulder. It can be done. Yes, I read the last "fact" as well.

              5. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
              Unless it's put on a very steep incline, or strapped to a vertical surface.

              6. A pregnant goldfish is called a twit.
              Erm, goldfish lay eggs. They don't get pregnant.

              10. 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 can pop out.
              You'd have to have seriously weak bones for a sneeze to fracture a rib. As for the eye thing:

              Sorry the video or page cannot be found. The page may have been removed, had its name changed, or is just temporarily unavailable. Please use search or visit our home page. Thank you.


              Just no.

              11. Rats multiply so quickly that in 18 months, two rats could have over a million descendants.
              No doubt assuming absolutely ideal breeding conditioins, and no food/space shortages, no deaths etc. You'd also have a heck of a lot of inbreeding going on.

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


              Now this is just getting silly.

              16. 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their butts.
              Funny as this would be, I don't buy it.

              So... yeah. Any other myths you'd like the good people of FFR to debunk for you?

                To prevent the issue from arising.

                Yes, it does. Under normal conditions the quack is heard on open water, maybe surrounded by trees. Trees/leaves are very good echo suppressors, and so one does not hear the echo. Inside of an enclosure, say, a barn, the quack will echo just like any other sound.

                  Re: More Interesting Facts

                  First of all, don't make topics about MySpace bulletins. Seriously, these don't entertain anyone under the age of thirteen or over the age of fifty.

                  Second, don't make a new topic every damn time you want to post. You could have easily kept this in one topic labelled "MySpace Bulletins LOL", there was absolutely no need to make twenty topics over them.

                        Yeah, that one's false. Wearing plug headphones for one hourwill increase your ear's bacteria by 100 times. Not 700, and not other ear phones.

                          Actually, anything that is about to give birth of any kind (lay eggs or live birth) is considered pregnant.

                            Did you know that a koala has finger prints so identical to humans that if a trained koala shot someone, you could be framed?
