I like that website. This article had me in stitches:

The comment from the senator about the Dewey Decimal System and Truman was hilarious. Oh lord.

 

 

 

"Oh no! The poor kids are confused!! We can fix that! *nix knowledge*"

 

My god, what's next? This is appalling, imo. You can't just go through life ignoring everything that's not a whole number. That makes me want to just let out a string of curses right now. :XD:

Saying "Can I borrow" will more make people more likely to give you their item rather than "Can I have"

 

Ha, so true, even if it is something like a sheet of paper or a napkin which you obviously won't be returning.

An average human swallows about 8 spider in there sleep in there lifetime.

 

 

That has to be false. I wouldn't know how to react to that knowing there actually was near me, let alone my damn mouth.

 

especially if it's a hot summer night, your warm, no sheets, nothing but boxers, or no boxers. and the spiders are walking around on you. and biting.

 

I wake up with spiderbites on me quite often actually. ):

 

I think the spider thing was disproved. It's somewhere on the Snopes website, I believe.

 

 

 

When I'm not lazy I'll check.

* A two-hour motion picture uses around 3.3 km of film

 

 

 

This one caught my eye since I manage a movie theater :3

 

 

 

It's closer to 4.3km of 35mm film for your typical 2-hour movie.

 

 

 

A two-hour film is on average 7 reels long. Each reel holds about 2,000ft of film. That puts the count at 14,000 feet, or, 4.3km.

Still really interesting to think about!

-40 is the same temperature in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. It's the only point where the two cross.

 

 

 

In most of Canada, all the retail gasoline safety guidelines that everyone follows (ie: turn off your car, don't smoke) are just that: guidelines. The only place that has actual legislation in place to govern retail gasoline safety is Ontario.

 

 

 

The regulatory body that enforces gasoline safety in Ontario is not even a branch of the government. The Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) is an independent, not for profit organization that has been given license by the province.

 

 

 

Despite what was disproved on Mythbusters, a cell phone *does* generate enough spark to ignite gasoline vapor. I've seen it happen!

Yes, spiders crawl into your mouth during sleep, 8 per year , not lifetime :lol:

 

 

 

1 in 5 people are chinese

 

A human can survive without a stomach or spleen, according to fallout 3.

 

It is impossible to crack a joint 2x in 3 minutes.

 

An 1800 muskat is more likely to kill you then most modern hand guns.

 

Paintball is one of the safest sports in the world

 

Pop machines cause 4x more deaths per year then sharks

 

And my favorite one....

 

In 1950, it was expected for the moon to be colonised, time travel to be real, and have robots doing most of our jobs...by 2005 (according to some book I have)

The pilot and co-pilot of a flight never eat at the same location. That way, if one gets food poisoning, the other can still fill in, as opposed to both getting it from the same source (which, incidentally, is how most friends end up with the same STD).

But... It all gets cooked at the same place right? So wouldn't they both get food poisoning if both meals aren't cooked properly?

 

 

 

EDIT: Do you mean in between flights or in-meal flights?

Orthodoxy is unconciousness

the only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed.
