November 26, 200619 yr Did you know that by biting together your back teeth really hard, your nervous system connected to your jaw bones can produce a noise of about 35dB-40dB that only you can hear? Try it.

November 26, 200619 yr Cancer cells are immortal to natural death. Put one in a petri dish and come back in 10,000 years... it will still be alive. :uhh:
November 26, 200619 yr Dental enamel is the strongest material your body produces. We are born without kneecaps they develop by the age of six. On average every year, you will consume 12 pubic hairs while eating in restaurants. Bottled water costs almost 1,000 times more than tap water. In every episode of seinfeld, you can see something with superman on it. The cigarette lighter was invented before matches were. All polar bears are left handed. According to an investigation, half of all men raised on a farm have had sexual contact with animals. Most collect calls are made on father's day. HEADLINE: Before Josef Stalin became a revolutionist, he considered a career as a priest. He was thrown out of seminary, though, because of his drinking and aggressive behavior.
November 26, 200619 yr ^Gullible.info ftw, eh? ^ :wink: More people die in September than any other month. Cats can't see the color red. Emails make up 73 percent of all traffic over the internet. 91 percent of the computers in the world have at least two viruses on them. At least, I think that.
November 26, 200619 yr :lol: Post them on this thread, and everyone else should post knowledge too! YAAYAYAYAAAAAAA! The word 'kangaroo' actually means 'Don't know,' in Aberigine (sp?). The English went to Australia, saw the funny bouncy thingies, and asked the natives what they were. According to modern myth, the Aberigines said 'I don't know,' because they didn't understand English, which is 'kangaroo' in Aberigine. May not be true, but it's quite a cool story. We have 206 bones in our body. A puppet show that contains more than 1 puppet is actually a play. Shown by David Randeni(SP) on the Isle of wight because he couldn't bring the puppet show inside because the building wasn't zoned for plays. Vampires are real. There are a few people in which the Haemogloblin destroys itself, and they need to feed on human blood to stay alivw. 1 in 4 fighter pilots in the battle of Britan were foreign. Each of those fighter pilots shot down and killed 6 Germans. The fact is that wars don't have winners. Everything is possible but there is a possiblity that something is not possible and therefore not everything is possible, and things are only impossible until there not. In 4 seconds enough energy to power the entire planet for a year hits the planet from the sun. The Celts may have preceeded the Egyptians in being the first organised Civalization. The most effective way that you can encrypt a message is by adding a certain layer of white noise at the transmitter, and removing it at the other end. This is 'Apparently' unbreakable because of the sheer unlikablity of actually getting the correct white noise filtered and at the right time... For written messages it is a technique called 'double encryption'. This means that you put down 'A' as 'B'(one letter in front) for instance and then into 'Y'(Reverse order) So A=Y and Z=Z(Z=A=Z) Which means they get back gibberish and so ignore the correct answer and move on. The more layers you add you can make a code near unbreakable, but you also run the risk of turning it into an easy code. (A=Z=F=B, B=Y=E=C) so the next letter is the answer. Double coding fairly easierly avoids this. Computers are great but crash all the time. The only time a pen and Paper has ever crashed is because they were in a car at the time... Strong people see weak people as cowards...Weak people see strong people as sucidialy stupid. Both arguments have their merits. If germs that you can't see are dangrous then logically Germs that you can see are deadly. Give a man a fish and he will eat for the day...Teach them to fish and you will feed them for a lifetime...give a man a gun and ammo and he can get someone to do it for them.
