ha..nice points man

a few things there I actually didnt know

I did try the elbow...Damn you! lol

This list gets circulated now and then... and part of the reason that we don't know some of those is because they're simply not true.

http://www.gfy.com/13136881-post7.html


Not true.
http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/green.asp

I'm pretty sure [N]orth Americ[a], and [S]outh Americ[a] are the actual names of 2 of the continents.

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... in ratio to weight? The uterus.


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.

:2 cents:

the stuff that was true is cool.
