I you bang your head against a brick wall extremely hard, it really hurts.
And no one knows why.
The Nile is the only river south of the equator that flows south to north.
Tony Orlando was born in Houston, Texas, and Angelica Huston was born in Orlando, Florida.
Hens raised in the dark lay eggs with white yolks.
Cats will never face the setting Sun.
If a moth lands in your hair, it will lay eggs and you’ll go crazy.

Thus revealing the alleged Dragnet phrase, “Just the facts, ma’am,” really is a secret code among detectives and gumshoes. It’s used during an investigation and interview of attractive women that really means, “God, what a tight ass!”
The secret code was a closely guarded secret, only revealed shortly before the death of Harry Morgan by Harry himself. It seems the only time when detectives felt comfortable sharing their interview notes (wink, wink, nod, nod) was the weekly mid-morning break held on Fridays at Mel’s diner over a cup of coffee. Meeting times were scheduled through the police radio by calling for “Det. Joe Friday.”
People can come up with statistics to prove anything. 14% of people know that.

Cleaning tips:
You can sop up spilt liquids with a piece of bread. This is why bread is known as Nature’s Sponge.
You can clean seltzer stains with red wine. The two substances neutralize each other.
Beer is good for carpets and upholstery. It strengthens the fibers.
Due to technical limitations, early movies had to shot as a mirror image, so right was left and left was right. It didn’t really matter most of the time, as the their were very few exterior shots and no one really noticed anything was amiss. When location shooting became popular, this gave rise to a lot of challenges - every single set had to be painted back to front. This is why, for example the cars in a Keystone Kops movie didn’t have number plates - it was too much effort for little reward.
Historical inertia being what it is, this tradition continues today. As much as 28% of a film’s budget us spent painstakingly either dressing sets with backwards writing, or more likely it is spent altering regular writing digitally. Have you ever noticed that most films with car chases are shot on deserted streets? That’s because everything has to closed off so that cars can drive on the left side of the road.
Have you ever wondered why so many actors are left handed in real life? It’s in order that they can look right handed on the screen.
Ancient Sumerians came up with a way to preserve their leftover grains by mixing hops and grain in water and letting it ferment. They called this beverage Ancient Hop Grain Juice.
Every celebrity who has “died” since Richard Nixon has had their head kept alive in a fluid-filled jar. The television series Futurama is simply a public relations strategy to prepare the public for encounters with disembodied talking heads.
Rush Limbaugh once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
This is a common misconception. While it is true that duck quacks don’t normally echo, it is only true because ducks choose to do it that way. The only way to make a duck echo-quack is to grab it by its right wing and shout at it in Lithuanian while menacing it with a hammer. This was discovered in 1873 by Doctor Friedrich Haarlan Von Waltershmitingveldt Jr.
If you dock the tail of a 3 day old Boxer puppy, the puppy’s tongue will grow freakishly large when it is an adult dog.
Lawyers are the larval form of politicians.
Copper wire was invented by 2 lawyers fighting over a penny.

Men and women have the same number of ribs.
:rolleyes: Here we go again. I can’t believe these wackos keep trying to push this dangerous lie. Are there really people out there who still actually believe this?
Considering the fact that at least 50% of the presidents were lawyers this could be true. 
A few years ago my brother and I created a collection of Fact-Free Fables, based on this same concept. For example, did you know:
*All nerves end in the feet. For this reason all duopeds, including humans, must spend a minimum of one hour per day wearing no footwear, with their legs propped up at such an angle as to assure that the subped, or the bottom of the foot, is not in contact with any surface. This is necessary to contradict the effect of wearing shoes.
When we wear shoes of any type, particularly shoes that lace across the top, we are compressing every one of our nerve endings. Often the effects of this compression can be felt in various parts of the body. Many headaches are a direct result of compressed nerve endings in the subfoot. New shoes are uniquely over-constricting and may cause swelling of a limb or appendage, resulting occasionally in a partial loss of function, or the “I’m all thumbs” syndrome. The eyelid twitch that most people have suffered at one time or another is virtually always traceable to constrictive footwear, since the nerve endings of the eyelids can be found on the outside edge of the ball of the foot, where the most compression occurs.*
The doctor-approved remedy should be clear to all. One must spend at least an hour a day (in addition to the time spent with the feet propped up) without footwear, being certain that the entire foot is free of any contact or stimulation, so that the nerve endings in the subfoot can return to their natural position and condition.
I got a million of 'em…
