The Corrupted 11-18-2007, 04:58 AM Most of your so called "facts" aren't true at all.
1. Coca cola was NEVER green.
Yup, it was originally with Carmel to make it brown.
Yay.
2. Completely false. Muhammad isn't even the most popular name in most muslim countries, let alone the would.
Your wrong, it was the most popular name in the world for a long time. Now it is Jack (In Europe) However it is still in VERY HIGH ranks).
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1890354.ece (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/new...cle1890354.ece)
Yes, but, its not CURRENTLY the most popular name, is it? So therefore, his statement = false. You've got to move with the times.
3. South America, North America.
The north and south are DIRECTION and are not the NAMES of the continent.
Wrong. They are continents. And even when they are referred to as a single continent they're called the "Americas"
5. False. The country with the most credit cards per person is the UK and it has 67 million cards for 59 million people.
IT said a 2/1 ratio, 69/59 is a 1.1/1 ratio...
... Since the UK has the highest ratio, the US would have a lower one.
7. Women blink as fast as men. :|
More than likely true... Women often are trying to battle with other women to impress so they flitter their eyes or blink to put there makeup on etc.
It's proven! They've done studies on it.
9. You can lick your elbow. Some people can anyway. All you have to do is be double-jointed, have a protestic arm or dislocate your shoulder. It's a myth that's not actually true.
10. False. It's from the black plage. Or it was used as a blessing by the pope. Or, it originated from russia. None of these versions include anything to do with the heart stopping. If your heart stopped for any amount of time, you're in trouble.
The heart comment, not true, people can stop there heartbeat. (Actually they make it beat like every few minutes but yeah)
True. Lance Armstrong has a resting beat of 30 bpm, and, some monks can stop their heartrate.
11. Says who? Not true.
If you can't prove it is not true, don't say says who.
Owned.
http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/56/31/22193156.jpg
^_^He's looking up. And that is a pig. ^_^
12. You can't say that for sure. You could say the toughest one was this one :
Shep Schwab shopped at Scott's Schnapps shop;
One shot of Scott's Schnapps stopped Schwab's watch.
Or peter piper or woodchuck. Everyone says tongue twisters differently.
You can't say it's not for sure, so true until you prove it. Remember most of these were STUDIES.
Different people = Different opinions. Those kinds of facts can't be proved wrong or true.
13-14. You can't break a rib by sneezing. Neither can you die. You can damage your ears and hearing by sneezing, but, apart from that...
It depends on how hard you sneezed. A rapid contration of your diaphrahm can cause a rib to fracture at its insertion point at the thoracic spine. It is more common with coughing, but sneezing can cause enough force as well...Especially if there is an underlying pathology such as osteoporosis or osteopenia.
Yes, well, I'll give this one to you. But still, highly unlikely.
15. I'm assuming your talking about traditional cards here, in which you'd be correct, but, since you didn't specify, your wrong. Certain decks replace the classic kings and queens with different things (Characters from a comic, naked people, etc.)
17-19. Untrue. If it were EVER the case, it died out around the 19th century.
And, yes, it is untrue. It's been proven by historians.
21. I'll have to check back with you on that one. I'm pretty sure some artificial foods don't spoil either.
It is true, only honey.
That is why I said I'll check back.
22. Will have to check back. I'm sure its false.
If you don't know for sure don't say it.
See above.
23. False...Snails aren't that lazy. They have to survive too you know.
Snails hibernate in the winter. This means they go to sleep while the weather is very cold. Snails bury themselves and close up the entrance to their shell with a door of slime. This hardens into a tough skin. This tough skin keeps predators out buy a tiny hole allows air in. Some snails that live in the desert have been known to remain in their shells for two or three years.
24. They don't even have hands And Polar bears don't just use their left PAWS anyway.
25. They'd probably save a lot more than that it if ever happened.
26. Doesn't take an idiot to prove this one wrong.
No, you mean it takes someone smart like me to prove you wrong.
http://content.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=4627 (http://content.scholastic.com/browse...le.jsp?id=4627)
Didn't read it properly. I can't spend too much time on this you know.
27. Snails can't jump. Neither can crabs, some spiders and some other insects.
Actually, it should be MAMMAL and not animal.
28. Wrong. They've now domesticated hedgehogs. Happened about 20 years ago. And there are more cases of modern domestication.
It means wide range domestication. For example, ferrets (I think or close to it) are illegal in some states but not in others.
Foxes have been domesticated, so have other entire species like them. Foxes were used for hunting in the 1800s, which, if my maths is correct, is less than 4000 years.
30. Wrong again. Shakespear didn't invent either. The first was invented by a secret muslim sect.
The earliest quotation in the Oxford English Dictionary is from Shakespeare
Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 7:
'If it is done when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly: if th'assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease, success ...'
The word "Assassin" was not invented by shakespear, just because its the first place you could find the word in a dictionary doesn't mean its true.
31. False. If you really wanted to, you could type a whole sentence on your keyboard without your right hand. It'd take a long time but, hey...
Antidisestablishmentarianism I just typed that with my left hand.
32. False again.
Prove it.
33. The concept was, yes, the actual chair was commissioned by Thomas Edison to show how dangerous AC were.
Who invented electricity? Thomas Edison? Benjamin Franklin? No wrong but they are credited for it.
In this case, Thomas Edison DID commission the first electric chair.
37. False. The chinese invented matches in 557 AD. First lighter was invented around the 1800s.
Your taking it out of context again. They mean strike matches from a match box. Plus phosphorus (the stuff used in matches was not found until 1669.
38. Again, false.
Fish scales are the ingredient which gives some cosmetics their "frost" or "pearlescence". Nail polish, eye shadow, blush; all have contained fish scales, though some companies now use synthetic substitutes to obtain that shimmery effect.
Ahhh, I'll give you that one. By the last one I was getting sick of it already.
