For those of you who just thought you knew everything, here's a re-fresher course...... and a repeat for some...
Then you will know everything!!!

The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for blood plasma.

No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven (7) times (I can see you with that piece of paper!)

Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.

You burn more calories sleeping than you do
watching television.

Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty (50) years of age or older.

The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum.

The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache.
(okay, stop and go get the deck)

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by
eliminating one (1) olive from each salad served in first-class.

Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking
you up in the morning.

Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. (Yeewwwww)


The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. So did the first "Marlboro Man."


Walt Disney was afraid of mice.

Pearls melt in vinegar.

The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro,Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order.

It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs.

A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.


Richard Millhouse Nixon was the first U.S. president whose name contains all the letters from the word "criminal." The second? William Jefferson Clinton.

(Please don't tell me you're SURPRISED!?!!)

And the best for last.....

Turtles can breathe through their butts . (holy Toledo!)

Now you know everything there is to know.

I thought the duck echo was a myth...


Anyway, here's another one.

In most homes and schools, the object that collects the most fecal (poop) residue, other than your toilet is...





















...your keyboard! :poosie:

(It's true, according to an ep of The Nature of Things. Good ol' David Suzuki.)

Actually Quacks do echo, it's just muffled and distorted due to the spectrum of sound they produce.

Htye did the fecal matter on your tooth brush and the ducks quack on myth busters. Both were busted. It doesnt matter where you put your tooth brust, even if its in another room, there still will be some fecal matter.

Those are pretty interesting, actually. But I do remember the toothbrush myth being busted too. Didn't they do the marching bridge on the same episode?
