I'm pretty sure they were only considering the "America" part,

and not the north or south designatiions.

This list must have been posted at least 50 times already.

:2 cents:

Not to mention how many times some of us have seen them in our email. I think the first list was sent to me by my lady at least a dozen times in the past couple years.

Some of these are just ridiculously wrong. Dunno about the others. Just think about some of them. I mean, "33. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times." Exactly 700? We all have the same amount of bacteria to start with and the exact same headphones do we?

39. you cant lick your own neck

I'll admit it, I tried to lick my elbow



....back in 1999 when I first saw this list.

Very interesting stuff! I feel like I just learned more than 10 years of school education :thumbsup

Seen it so many times before.

Not even any point in bothering to show how most of that shit is wrong, but one glaring example...

3. The name of all the continents ends with the same letter that they
start with.

What about South America? or North America? Even if you group the two together they would still be called the Americas.

Don't believe everything you read kids.

I tried to lick my elbow lol :1orglaugh

thanks for the laughs and info!

37. And finally 99% of people who read this will try to lick their
elbow

Hahah! Got me!

i knew all this.. psh

the guys who invented the laser printer and bullet proof vests are pissed about #17!

Europe is NOT a continent, Eurasia is

love that kind of lists :)

Depends on where you learn geeography, according to this Wikipedia article.

Also: D! Thanks for the facts, man - I knew there was a reason I liked you, other than your hot GF ;)

we'll excuuuuuuse me mr thirty two million poster :winkwink: its for some of us small timers i guess.....

17. Bruce Lee was so fast that they actually had to s-l-o-w film down so you
could see his moves.

cool facts..

Okay... i'll take my chances on rib fracture then... :thumbsup

I worked a with several nurses back in the 80's and 90's that used to pinch their noses and surpress sneezes.

They drove me crazy.

We were always taught there are 7 continents, Europe being one of them.

99% of people will post the same comments made earlier in this thread :2 cents:

Embarrassing fact about me: I knew the uterus was the strongest muscle, but for a minute thought I must be wrong because of a list posted on a message board.

Fact about me that makes me slightly less embarrassed: I did not try to lick my elbow.

wow thats some serious tongue action!!! send em my way :-)

Sounds romantic. But we don't want to know what happened next. :1orglaugh

Yes, I did try the elbow. lol.

proof that # 19 is not true ;-)

about half are urban legend

edit: on second thought, I won't bother.
