The question is, why did i look it up.

[Totster]

[Spee]

Number 22 is not true.

The ducks quack echo myth..

Speaking of echoes .... from a Robin Williams comedy routine .... his description of a New York City echo ....

'Heelllllooooo down therrrrrrrrre!'

"Shut the <deleted> up, up there!"

[drummer]

1..The measurement between the tip of each middle finger when arms are held out horizontally to the sides equals your height.

2..The measurement from the elbow to the wrist is the same as your foot measurement

Generally speaking, that is. Those are approximate. Some basketball players, for example, have wingspans a foot or more wider than their height ....

my own foot is not quite as long as my forearm (I have unusually long arms- can't get shirts the fit off the rack)

...

#5 is not quite true, either. People say blass you because back in the day, if you got the flu it meant you were gonna die.

...

14. The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tounge twister in the English language.

hahahaha- try getting some Thais to say that one!

...

23. 23% of all photocopier faults worldwide are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their buttocks.

Wow! Those are some ugly buttocks!

[drummer]

Nor is number 5.....During the black death plague, the sneeze indicated that you were next......hence "Bless You" (you're fkcud)

[IamMaiC]

24. In the course of an average lifetime you will, while sleeping, eat 70 assorted insects and 10 spiders.

well I can't sleep well tonight

[LivinLOS]

No 5 dates from the black death as mentioned already.

15. 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. If you could keep your eyes open by force, they would pop out.

To win a bet that this is not true I held my eyes open while sneezing with no ill effect... Then to twist the bet it was claimed I had to hold my sneeze in with my eyes open, I later tested and again this still does not make your eyes pop out.

[yok yawng]

.... again this still does not make your eyes pop out.

but it has affected your hearing .... listen do you smell something

27. Shouldn't this be combined with the photocopier example?

[stumonster]

7. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.

Big feet.... big shoes

[Harry Palmer]

did you know...

early politicians required feedback from the public to determine what was considered important to the people. since there were no telephones, tv's or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to local taverns, pubs, and bars who were told to 'go sip some ale' and listen to people's conversations and political concerns. many assistants were dispatched at different times...

'you go sip here' and 'you go sip there.' the two words 'go sip' were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and, thus we have the term 'gossip.'

[andyadam]

Black Light????????????????????????

Ultra violet light, the lamp/tube is black and you can't see the light it emits!

10. By law, every child in Belgium must take harmonica lessons at Primary School.

This is not correct also.

We need to take music lessons because it's in the curriculum, and the instrument is a wooden flute not a harmonica.

Let me give another one

10. 80 percent of Americans Haven't got a clue ........

[medicinebox]

I thought the "Bless you" thing when you sneezed was because they thought your soul slipped out of your body for a second and the devil slipped in. by blessing you it rid the devil and your soul could get back in.

Crazy cnuts in them days ey?

[kayo]

Yes Black Light... Those ultra violet things clubs and theatres use. Oh and Pink Floyd to great Effect.
