Here are a couple

1. The liquid inside "young" coconuts can be used as a replacement for blood plasma.

2. No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times.

3. Donkeys kill more people every year than plane crashes or shark attacks.

4. Pearls melt in vinegar.

5. A ducks quack does not echo.

The word 'gullible' does not appear in any of the top dictionaries.

[MudMaker]

Yea John, you can strike # 5... ;)
# 3 is not substantiated anywhere either..
Remember "donkeys don't kill people" - ass's kill people... ;)
and # 1 is in serious jeopardy..

Vinegar doesn't melt pearls; it only takes off the grout haze.

The song 'Waltzing Matilda' is not about dancing or a women named Matilda; its about stealing sheep.

The "large eyes" stile in Japanese anime and manga was directly influenced from the American animation Betty Boop.

There is no sarcasm in the Japanese language, hilarity does not ensue, they just look at you like you are an idiot.

I guess most of those stupid facts are not facts at all. :suspect:

[bbcamp]

90% of all statistics are from people making up statisitics.



It's true. I just made that one up.



See?

[mark11755]

I forgot. Mythbusters also took out #5.

A duck’s quack does not echo.

busted

When examined by an audio-expert, it was found that the echo was "swallowed" by the original quack, due to the very similar acoustic structure between the quack and the echo. Because of this, it may be difficult to tell where the quack ends and the echo begins.

There are two types of people.............

Don't you just love it when someone throws that generality out? I just hate it! There isn't "just two types of people" and it gets me mad. So I say this:

There are two types of people. Those who believe there are two types of people and those who don't.

Well then, a big pooh poooh on the dum facts email that I got.


"Why can't you change clothes in front of a pokemon"? Because it might take a Pikachu :loaded:

Why was Tigger looking in the toilet? He was looking for Pooh.

Did you know pirates wear patches on one eye to stay accoustomed to the dark?

When they go down in the hull of the ship, they move the patch from one eye to the other.

There, thats my stupid fact for the day.:)
