Did you know?

Post by Suzie »

Just when you thought you knew everything...

Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The
spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there.

Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept
at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as
substitute for blood plasma.

No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times.

Donkeys kill more people annually than plane
crashes.

You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching
television.

Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty
years of age or older.

The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's
gum.

The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache

A Boeing 747s wingspan is longer than the Wright
brother's first flight.

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by
eliminating 1 olive from each salad served in first-class.

Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise.

Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking
you up in the morning.

The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are
called aglets.

Most dust particles in your house are made from dead
skin .

The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of
lung cancer.

Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.

Michael Jordan makes more money from Nike annually
than all of the Nike factory workers in Malaysia combined.

Marilyn Monroe had six toes.

All US Presidents have worn glasses. Some just
didn't like being seen wearing them in public.

Walt Disney was afraid of mice.

Pearls melt in vinegar.

Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal
ads for dating are already married.

The three most valuable brand names on earth:
Marlboro, Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order.

It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not
downstairs.

A duck's quack doesn't echo and no one knows why.

The reason firehouses have circular stairways is
from the days when the engines were pulled by horses.
The horses were stabled on the ground floor
and figured out how to walk up straight staircases.

The last..... just know you couldn't
live without knowing.....

Turtles can breathe through their butts.

IF A MAN COMES TO YOUR FRONT DOOR AND SAYS HE IS
CONDUCTING A SURVEY AND ASKS YOU TO SHOW HIM YOUR BOOBS, DO NOT SHOW HIM YOUR BOOBS. THIS IS A SCAM, HE ONLY WANTS TO SEE YOUR BOOBS.

Wish I'd gotten this yesterday. I feel so stupid.

No way!! I would never do that, minir is too nice of a guy. I just thought they where funny and I could give him a giggle back. :(

Edit: I really did post in good faith and didn't mean for it to be taken any other way. Sorry. I love reading minirs jokes everyday, they keep me sane.

Eric Draven: "It can't rain all the time."

Sarah: "A building gets torched. All that is left is ashes. I used to think that it is true about everything - family, friends, feelings - but now I know that sometimes if love proves real, and two people are meant to be together, nothing can keep them apart."
