<< You can't kill yourself by holding your breath. >>



True. I just tried. You pass out for a about 15-20 sec, and in that time frame, take a involuntary deep breath. You do get dizzy as hell though.

LOLOLOL :) :)

If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb.

Yeah but all your friends would be dead or gone.

Uncopyrightable is the longest word in the English language not to repeat a letter.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanicconiosis is the longest word in the English language (it is a lung disease caused by the inhilation of volcanic dust.

The Guiness Book of World Records says that the longest word in the English language is Floccipoccinihilipilification, which means the act of rendering as useless.

<< Eh.... that's not totally true. I knew some of those!


Not to mention that those typing factoids don't apply to me and anyone else who types with a Dvorak layout. Long like Dvorak!

<< did u get it out of a book or u just looked it up >>

I ripped it from an e-mail a friend sent me. There's a few things in there that I already knew myself, but I figured I'd just post it as is anyway.

<<If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33. She would stand seven feet, two inches tall and have a neck twice the length of a normal human's neck.>>

Huh? If she was life size why would she be taller or shorter then average?

However, I'd still try to nail her.

N != A

But A = A

America can be considered a continent, although there are two of them.

Asia, Africa, America, Antartica, Austrailia, Europe.

I assume that North and South America, for the purpose of this thread, is considered one continent.

<< Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. >>


Not a camel with 6000 pounds of wait on it!
hehe, this reminds me of an English project video I made.....my friend brought his dog (going to be a lion) and I had a 30 year old blanket that is huge and weighs maybe 25lbs, so I put it on the dog, and the dog couldn't move or walk. it was hilarious! (ok, my friend MAKES this dogdo "summersaults".....he rolls her himself!) then she started to fall down, so I took it off of her, but she could not jump at ALL!
