How about in Antartica?

 

The first one I think everyone can do.
Why not have a try?

 

maybe we can send this list to mythbusters to test to see if they are true or just statements made to see if people are dumb enough to believe everything they read..........

BUSTED - bet my gf can, she is flexible enough do anything...... LOL

but seriously I wonder if those rubber bending, double jointed people can do this?

Im double jointed in my arms, can get to about one inch and half away - maybe if you can dislocate your limbs......

I thought it was bcos in the old days people thought that your body was vulnerable to being invaded by the devil when you sneeze so it was to ward off evil spirits?

If it was a little pig you could pick it up and tilt its head up

How and where did they get the bhutane gas from for the lighter to work? ( i dont mean a torch made from a stick and piece of cloth material wrapped around and dipped in flammable liquid, indianna jones style - i mean a real cigarette lighter)

This was tested by mythbusters i think and confirmed as true

Could be a new webmaster niche - disney animated porn

Ive never been there but this just sounds dumb

How do they know when to finalise their bets for before the close of events like gambling on horse racing and sporting events like i see them do on the Vegas tv show

BUSTED Tried it and does not work for me.......

dont believe it - not a city in Australia that i know of

Try super glue, match sticks or hooks attached to eye lids to keep them open like Clockwork Orange brain washing technique should work

 

I never knew...is this true?

 

I tried licking my elbow and end up with a neck pain ,thanks real cool facts!.

 

haha thanks for posting this one! how cute dolphins sleep with one eye open how cute!

 

wow ... id never eat myself if i was really really hungry... go worms !

 

nice facts specially 23,35,36

 

hmm maybe its just me, but purple rhymes with circle

 

Wow, dude, cool facts.
I was really amazed by some of them. I think they are all true, except the first one, ( lol, nice start ) because my friend has a unusually long neck, and he can do weird stuff with it.

Hey, can you tell us the source of these facts, maybe there is something other that is interesting there.

Thanks for sharing,
Misa Misa

 

Try it...and i bet your eye-balls will come out of your eyes after sneezing

 

....where in the world did you find this info!!
love it

 

Hmm such worthy information you have shared really it is interesting and strange. Have a quote in my mind for this occasion "Knowledge dwells In heads replete with thoughts of other men; Wisdom in minds attentive to their own."

 

I found #30 quite interesting: "Honey is the only food that doesn't spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible".

Well I'd like to add, that a jar of Egyptian barley was found in the tomb of the architect Imhotep. He's the guy that constructed the great pyramid of Gizeh for the pharoah (Cheops/Khufu). The archaeologists attempted to make beer out of it following a recipe that they found on the tomb wall. The beer turned out good, the barley was 4,500 years old.

 

I find a lot of this very funny, haha. When I read first one, I actually try to lick my elbow.. It is true, I can't.
