“Absolutely nothing.”

Hasbro is sponsoring a new maths prize of $350,000 for the first team to solve the “3 color clonetrooper” problem.
They awarded a similar award to researchers at the University of Chicago in 2009 for confirming only 9*10^23 possible variations available using two colors, given Hasbro’s tooling capability.
Industry commentators suggest that without the 3 color data Hasbro may run out of potential Star Wars figures to make as early as July of this year.
One of the 2009 comments is actually true. However, it’s so silly that no one believes it. I can’t directly tell you which one, or they’d have to kill me.
John Dehner, in addition to his work in radio, TV, and film, also provided the voice for Hasbro’s GI Joe Talking Commander.
Chastity Bono was originally conceived as a male. However, the mother Cher wanted a daughter so much she took illegal hormons during the pregnancy to make sure she would have a female baby.
Most coffee sold in this country… isn’t. Coffee is expensive and doesn’t survive shipping well, so once you get down to the kind of stuff they’ll stock in supermarkets you’re looking at something that’s mostly crushed bark. The stimulant effect is a mix of psychological factors (you expect it to get you wired) and the secretions of a beetle species that commonly gets caught in the crushing process.
Benjamin Franklin invented most of what we now know as electrical theory, except he consistently confused ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ charges.
Everyone who dies in Antarctica has to stay there forever: Fuel is too limited for the aircraft and ships that visit to justify carrying even a single dead body out.
More Jews have been members of the Nazi Party than have played in the World Series.
Engineers at Microsoft have invented an OS that never crashes, but were forced to keep it secret for fear of destroying the value of all current systems and spurring massive lawsuits.

The Washington Times is owned by God.
The Statue of Liberty was originally going to face directly south instead of southeast.
I would like to see a debunking of this one. I would bet even money that it is true.
Delaware owns a strip of the Jersey shoreline several hundred yards long and a few yards wide. Delaware wants to build an oil unloading facility there, so they can collect big tax money but not have to deal with the mess.
This is actually true!
The waffle was invented when a knight in chain mail arrived home exhausted from the crusades and sat on a pancake his wife had left on a bench. (I swear, we had a cookbook that reported this as true.)
If you kill a rattlesnake, it’s mate will track you down by smell and seek revenge.
My grandfather told me this when I was little.
Chain mail armor was invented by a guy who first tried pasting chain letters to his body, but switched to actual chains when he realized sheets of paper gave him no protection at all.
Whenever automobile manufacturers build a lemon (and yes, they can tell even while it’s still on the assembly line) they paint it a specific color. Then they divide all the cars of that color among their dealers, so each dealer gets a share of all the lemons produced. Dealers don’t know the color chosen for the lemon, but the manufacturers can easily trace the whereabouts and condition of every lemon by using Google Street View.
In a early video for Blly Joel’s Piano Man, one of the piano men shown is a young Hugh Laurie.
The Japanese are in collusion with the aliens!!!
Think about it. What does the stereotypical movie alien look like? Big head, big eyes, small-to-nonexistent mouth and nose. What does your typical anime character look like? That’s right!
You see, the aliens needed human help to smoothly take over the world. They approached the Japanese government after WWII, when the country was a smoking wreck, and offered to fix it up in return for their collaboration. Japan became a major economic power, and Japanese artists started selling comics with big-headed, big-eyed heroes. This is to get the world accustomed to aliens, the same way Cabbage Patch dolls were supposed get people used to deformed babies. When the ET’s finally reveal themselves, the sheeple will accept them and let them implant probes in our brains for “our own good”.
I know this is true, because I searched my heart and found it to be so. Tell all your friends before it’s too late!!!
Pretzels were invented by German monks to reward children for reciting their prayers properly
It is possible to make panty hose that won"t run, but the industry won’t make them because they won’t sell any more panty hose and will go out of business.

I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure. I have veracose veins in my lower legs and hyperpigmentation one both calves and feet. They look like ginger freckles.
Here’s my urban legend: I will post a picture on Facebook of my leg, claiming that drinking too much Fireball whiskey discolors your skin! I will tell them the first question my doctor asked was, “Do you drink a whiskey called Fireball regularly?” I said yes and he told me to 1) stop drinking it and 2) the marks are permanent. They are caused by the phony cinnamon flavor used in the drink.
So? What do you think and can I get sued by Fireball?
Well, it’ll work at least as well as “Goldschlager makes you poop gold!”
THAT one I never heard! And you do poop out the gold flakes, no?
