More people are killed annually by donkeys than die in air crashes. lol

Did you know that books can breathe? People visiting the British Museum complained of getting headaches. This was because books seem to absorb or "breathe" in air and "breathe" out smells of their own. There was so many old books in the Museum that there was no fresh air left which meant people got headaches from breathing in bad air

It was discovered on a space mission that a frog can throw up. The frog throws up it's stomach first, so the stomach is dangling out of it's mouth. Then the frog uses it's forearms to dig out all of the stomach's contents and then swallows the stomach back down again. sick

To "testify" was based on men in the Roman court swearing to a statement made by swearing on their testicles

If you feed a seagull Alka-Seltzer, its stomach will explode.

The only planet without a ring is earth.

Your stomach has to produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks; otherwise it will digest itself.

The only Origional STYX Member, that is still in the band, is James 'JY' Young.

Tommy Shaw, of STYX, is the shortest member, he is 5' 7" tall (If I'm correct, it's something like that.)

EDIT!

The STYX song 'SnowBlind', is not a love song, although it sounds like it. It is also not about Snow (the weather type), it is actually about a Cocaine addiction. 'Coke' is sometimes called 'Snow', as it is a fine, white, powder.

the brand nike was made by a child and his PE teacher (dont know they're names)

Drumdude1167
nike...theres a long story......After the trojan war a man ran TO marathon, which was 27 miles(which would be how long a marathon is these days) and when he reacehed marathon he yelled NIKE, which means something like VICTORY or something like that.....after he yelled NIKE he collapsed and died

T.M
The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C. At first, only one race (the sprint) was run and only men were able to take part as women had died whilst running long distances before. also no women were aloud in the stadium itself (probably because of the men where seen as higher class) but the mens race was run naked messed(yes its true). Later, the discus and javelin throw, broad jumping and wrestling were added. The Olympic Games were held for more than 1,000 years. They were abolished by the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius in 394 A.D.

Drumdude1167
wowza, question...... If you go in a circle at the speed of light in a special ship (lets call it ROX2312) Could you see the back of ROX3212?

T.M
probably not as the back of the ship will be going that fast to so it will be behind you and it may even move faster because of the swinging motion of the front of the ship (just a guess)

drunk_nazgul
OMG, that is funny!

T.M
what the woman falling or the star wars kid?

T.M
anyway this is some random info for you. The "clinking" of glasses originated in the medieval days when wine was often spiked with poison as the sediment concealed it quite well. If a host wanted to prove that the wine wasn't poisoned, he would pour part of the guest's wine into his glass and drink it first. If the guest trusted his host he would just clink glasses when the host offered his glass for a sample. Hence the clinking of glasses has become a sign of trust, honesty and toast to good health.

rockchickgem
maybe............who knows?

T.M
bamboo was once used as a tortcher because it grows in a straight line and some very fast a person would be tied to a tree with legs open a bamboo planted beneath them and it would grow up through the a$$hole nd continue to grow up through the body untill the person was dead then they would be removed

Drumdude1167
Definatally the woman falling

mailedbypostman
The constant hearing/feeling a certain thing over and over again torture was derived from chinese water torture, which involved driving someone mad by dripping a drop of water on the person's neck over and over again.Trust me it really is a torture to do that sort of thing.

T.M

Drumdude1167

the scientific difference between biscuits and cakes are that biscuits are cooked twice and that biscuits go soft when out of date whereas cakes go hard this has been tested by the makers of jaffa cakes to prove that they are cakes and not biscuits.

a cat judges if it can get through a gap/hole whatever by using its whiskers it uses its whiskers because they are the same width as its body so if its whiskers will fit then its body will. so if u find a sleeping cat cut off half its whiskers then the next time it goes to go through a small gap it will think it can fit but it will get stuck big grin

Corran
That's not true - what about Fat cats, if they lose weight do their whiskers shrink?

T.M
um i suppose so but have u ever seen a cat go on a diet?
