Charles Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 I've decided to post some rather interesting facts because I am rather bored. I don't think this will spark a great discussion, but some of you might get a kick out of this stuff. After all, it does deviate from the usual topic.(that's not necessarily a good thing) 1)The two-foot long bird called a Kea that lives in New Zealand likes to eat the strips of rubber around car windows! **Any two-foot long bird that eats strips of rubber in New Zealand sounds mighty unique to me.** 2)Most lipstick contains fish scales! **Come on now, fish scales? How many ladies of the otaku boards new that? But more importantly, who cares?** 3) Skepticisms is the longest word that alternates hands when typing! **Juyst try it!** 4) It's illegal to drink beer out of a bucket while you're sitting on a curb in St. Louis! **Good thing I don't live in St. Louis. I'd have one more useless bucket. Now while we're protecting the world from buckets, let's do something about the impoverished St. Louis neighborhoods and failing schools.** 5) If you counted 24 hours a day, it would take 31,688 years to reach one trillion! **Five bucks goes to the person who tries this one.** 6) The sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." uses every letter of the alphabet! **That's if you consider "q" a real letter.** 7) The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a letter is "uncopyrightable"! **Well..no comment.** 8) Cat urine glows under a black-light! ** Why I put that I don't know. It just seems stangly funny to me that someone would actually put Cat urine under a black light.** One more interesting thing is the three word tupple. There are two types of tupples, associative and non-associative tupples. The tupple: High School Student is associative because it sounds different if you emphasize the first two words(High School) as opposed to (School Student). If you emphasize the last two, it sounds like [High] School student. So you're saying that the student is high. If you emphasize the first two you have [High School] Student. That is a student in high school. It is said that the english language is so sensitive that it is impossible to find a three word tupple that is non-associative.

Charles Posted December 30, 2001 Author Share Posted December 30, 2001 Well, I don't know it. I looked it up on the net. I do know the tupple thing, because it's a fundamental math concept believe it or not. I actually found the only non-associative tupple. But did you guys know that about 10,000 birds die a year from crashing into windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted December 30, 2001 Share Posted December 30, 2001 lol. 'I am' is the shortest complete sentence in the English language. According to the 'World Health Organization', there are approximately 100 million acts of sexual intercourse each day. The world's termites outweigh the world's humans 10 to one. Ten percent of the Russian government's income comes from the sale of Vodka. All the clocks in the movie 'Pulp Fiction' are set to 4:20. Animators drew nearly 6.5 million black spots for the film '101 Dalmations'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted December 30, 2001 Author Share Posted December 30, 2001 Any topic that makes me try to lick my elbow is pretty cool. Now, check this: (Every time you lick a stamp, you're consuming 1/10 of a calorie!) Now shouldn't they have some nutrition facts for those buggers? This makes me kinda glad I can't lick my own elbow. That'd be calorie city. (One in every 4 Americans has appeared on television!) That's simply amazing, but I bet that that statistic includes local channels, such as the education channel. (7% of Americans don't know the first 9 words of the American anthem, but know the first 7 of the Canadian anthem & 5% of Canadians don't know the first 7 words of the Canadian anthem, but know the first 9 of the American anthem!) *Said in a dramatic voice* Which one of you falls into this category.

Charles Posted December 30, 2001 Author Share Posted December 30, 2001 I just thought I'd put this up for all of you health freaks that decide to get your fix at McDonalds of all places. For the record though, that cat urine fact, still has me wondering. All in the name of science I guess. There's a chemical called ?propylene glycol,? which is found in most fast food restaurants? salad dressings in order to maintain moisture. The chemical, however, also comes with cautions and warnings that it may cause skin and eye irritation if exposed to the human body, is more commonly used as ?Sierra Anti Freeze? coolant for cars, and is also found in Astroglide Sexual Lubricant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
