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 ....

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.

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

And you know what they say about feet Totster.....

Big feet.... big shoes

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.'

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

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

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