The amount of force used to bite into a carrot is the same amount of force to bite your pinkie off.

Now that's some food for thought!


Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented. It was ruled ’ Gentlemen Only..Ladies Forbidden’..and thus the word GOLF entered into the English Language.

I n the 1400’s a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have “the rule of thumb”

In 1915, the lock millionaire Cecil Chubb bought his wife Stonehenge. She didn’t like it, so in 1918 he gave it to the nation.

Just dont ever say that to the newly hired female worker in the butcher factory

Interesting. Although I do have to disagree with at least one of these statements. Maybe more than one are incorrect, but I cannot see any besides the fact that the porpoise is not the second most intelligent creature on the planet. In reality the second most intelligent animal on our planet is the sasquatch. And I really am being dead serious. Many will likely disbelieve, but there are thousands of people who not only know sasquatch to be a real animal, but who also know that the intelligence possessed by these creatures is astounding. They are not as intelligent as a man in most respects, but they are definitely smarter than dolphins. I fully expect these animals to be proven authentic within the near future, as I believe their population is expanding.

And due to their propensity to spread out from one another, at least what data is available suggests this, and coupled with the fact that the best spots, the furthest away from human habitations, are already occupied, the modern generations are pushing nearer to cities and towns. When I say they have a propensity to spread out from one another, I am referring to the spreading of non-related or non-associated groups. Data suggests they tend to group themselves based on genealogy, or family groups, and although they do move around frequently I personally believe they spend more time in one location as opposed to the others they temporarily occupy. This doesn't mean they do not associate with other sasquatch, as they do, but non-related males tend to avoid one another in the wild, at least this is how I interpret the data available. Most data we have to analyze is in the form of eyewitness testimony, the majority of which is credible, although those who know nothing of the subject might not realize this.

It is true that sasquatch sightings often induce fear in the witness, and we know that fear can cause the witness to misinterpret what they are seeing, however I have found that witnesses in such a situation will often misinterpret minute details, but they rarely get the major details wrong. And in such a case the major details involve knowing that what one is seeing is NOT a bear. The idea that witnesses are seeing bears is so preposterous that I cannot believe there are individuals who still use this argument. I wish the public was more educated on the subject, and when science finally gets off their butts and analyzes the available evidence, and attempts to gather more, a whole lot of people are going to owe the entire community a huge apology.

Well, you go and prove the sasquatch's existance and I will change my fact!

apparently the green coke thing is a false rumor because coke was originally in a green bottle.

Some numbers are illegal (in the U.S. anyway) to know about.

en.wikipedia.org...

Do not read the following number, it's illegal to possess. Ready? k·256^2 + 2083. CRIMINAL!

Humans are so good at killing each other that we have invented a weapon that fires 1 million rounds per minute......just for kicks, but that was like 7 or 8 years ago.

Crazy right!
