| SUnday Facts...EnjoY... It is impossible to lick your elbow. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky. More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call. The "sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick" is said to be the toughest tongue twister in the English language. In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere. Most lipstick contains fish scales....YACKS... Over 75% of people who read this will try to lick their elbow.... If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven (7) times....Proven On MythBuster...Try Urself... |
