Everything You Need to Know?

#1 Postby Dee Bee » Tue Jan 31, 2006 9:50 pm

Traveling the email forward rounds again, for your edification...

[DISCLAIMER: I haven't had time to "snope" these.]

The liquid inside young coconuts
can be used as a substitute for
blood plasma.

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.

The first owner of the Marlboro Company
died of lung cancer. So did the first
"Marlboro Man."

Walt Disney was afraid of mice.

Pearls "melt" in vinegar.

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.

And the best for last:

Turtles can breathe through their butts.

[Without revealing the bizarre details, I can attest
to this through personal observations of my pet
turtle, Tommy! :eek:]

Oak trees only have to be 20 years old to produce acorns.

Walt Disney actually liked mice. (http://www.cobbles.com/simpp_archive/wa ... sketch.htm)

Vinegar does not melt pearls.

A duck's quack echoes like anything else.
