I knew some things but some of those things are cool like stewardess

StuartD · 09-24-2007, 05:19 PM

You should change the thread title to "facts I don't know" because most of those facts are quite well known by anyone who's been online a year or more.

ProducerCashDave · 09-24-2007, 05:24 PM

4 . The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

No wayyy

beta-tester · 09-24-2007, 06:08 PM

amazing list

A lot of them are already known, but there are really nice ones too.... and no i am not going to try to lick my elbow, I already got owned on this one

[ Nate ] · 09-24-2007, 06:20 PM

Bump.... thanks Shakespeare

False. The tongue is made up of sixteen muscles... not one. In brute strength, the masseter of the jaw is the strongest.... in distance, it's the heart.

And those are just 3 in the first 4. Glancing through, I'm not sure if others are false or true... but if batting .250 on the first 4 of the list is indicative of the rest, I'd say I'm sure there are others that don't hold water.

Sorry to spoil the fun... but I'd rather spread knowledge as opposed to disinformation.

Might be a good idea to check your sources and do the same next time, too.

Spunky · 09-24-2007, 06:28 PM

Those were pretty interesting facts

tony286 · 09-24-2007, 06:31 PM

they were fun to read.

10. People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you Sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond.

13. 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.

Now I'm scared to sneeze, but also too scared to not sneeze

CyberHustler · 09-25-2007, 09:02 AM

The unexplained statement that "the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body" appears frequently in lists of surprising facts, but it is difficult to find any definition of "strength" that would make this statement true. Note that the tongue consists of sixteen muscles, not one.

CyberHustler · 09-25-2007, 09:05 AM

at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green.

http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/green.asp

OldJeff · 09-25-2007, 09:11 AM

I knew a lot of this

10 is also wrong, it started because of a belief that you could sneeze out your soul

TG Rebecca · 09-25-2007, 09:12 AM

haha, i didn't try to lick my elbow.

ShellyCrash · 09-25-2007, 09:43 AM

I gotta dispute 11 too, unless it's a range of vision issue pigs can look up.

My friend Christian has a Pig named Tex:

Here he is looking up / begging for food.
