The Garden Of Eden was actually on Venus. That’s why the forbidden fruit was never mentioned by name. No alphabet on Earth has the characters necessary to write the fruit’s true name. The clouds of sulphur were the punishment for eating the fruit.
Based on several prophecies by Nostradamus it can be concluded that most of the Bible actually takes place in the future. The Great Flood is a reference to the eventual increase in water on Earth caused by global warming.
In fact, though, the progress of global warming can be slowed by using any device that functions as a hand powered rotary fan, if these devices are aimed at the ocean and pulsed multiple times. The small squirt bottles with hand-cranked fans found at outdoor concerts can be used for this function.
Most people are born with a small nub on the side of each foot which will grow into an auxiliary toe if one is cut off, but only before the person reaches the age of five.
There is a large Yiddish-speaking community in Sri Lanka.
The Basque language bears no resemblance to any other language spoken, but syntactically is similar to the language in the Voynich manuscript.
Statistically, people born on February 29th appear younger and live longer than people born on any other day of the year; whether this is the placebo effect or an actual result of only having a birthday every four years is unknown.
H.P. Lovecraft based most of his works on lost manuscripts by Lewis Carroll.
All of the lyrics in Beck’s songs are what he hears when certain songs are played backwards. “Devil’s Haircut” is actually “Dancing Queen”.
Big Head Todd’s career with the Monsters is just a hobby. He’s quite wealthy from his invention, at age 9, of the preservative BHT, used today in many food products.
It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. Fortunately, there’s no profit in it. Greenhouse gases would be much worse, if people could make money lighting one candle.
The flash of light you get from crushing a wintergreen candy in your teeth comes from shattering the sugar crystals. You knew that, but did you know that 1/5th of the lighting in M&M Mars factories comes from crushing sugar crystals?

Within some black cats there is sometimes to be found a certain small bone that cannot be found within the bodies of any other feline. Take a male black cat, a true black without a hint of white on him, and boil it alive by the light of the new moon until all the flesh is distintigrated and the skeleton more or less clean. Pick up the skull and if you are lucky you may find that bone rattling around in there. Remove it, crush it to powder and drink it down dissolved in a cup of hot water. Upon waking the next day you will find all the youth and vitality you once had returned and you shall ever after never appear to age until your death.
PETA isn’t trying to stir up sympathy for fish by calling them “sea kittens”. They know people are going to say “Screw that!” and eat fish anyway. They just was to desensitize us to eating kittens

Here’s a list of actual facts and one fiction. Guess which is which:[ul][]Sirius is referred to in ancient documents as being red in color, even though today it’s blue and astronomers insist it had to always have been blue.[]There’s a rare species of tree in Panama that has square growth rings instead of round.[]Tournament bowling balls have to more perfectly round than industrial ball bearings.[]In Rhode Island, only men who were landowners could vote before 1843.There was one vote against the declaration of war against Japan in 1941.[/ul]
I’m going to say “the square tree ring thing” is fiction, for 600 please.
Human “tree rings” are read in China. When they want “ivory” rings they just slice old bones from the catacomb caves. Since the marrow is long gone they make good rings. And you can count the rings to see the age of the “donor”.
The famous Chinese box kites were originally the same shape as a modern stealth bomber, but were so hard to see that they retarded growth of the sport for centuries.
Yep. This vote was cast by Jeanette Rankin, the first female elected to the House, who was a Republican from Montana.
You can get wrinkles out of clothes but using the reverse of hot ironing: running ice cubes along creases will remove wrinkles. (Guess who is procrastinating doing the ironing?)
Beef Jerky got is name from a cowboy who wouldn’t share his delicious dried snack.
I have to do this:
Buzz! This is not of dubious veracity. It is entirely true. What you failed is, even though it “has to be a stone knife,” the ritual still will not work with one.
Voltaire wants a word…
The song “She’ll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain” is really all about various sexual practices, with a strong proto-feminist emphasis on a woman taking pleasure from sex. The “mountain” is a reference to either the clitoris (from the Greek for “little hill”) or to the Latin mons pubis, and “coming” is an obvious reference to orgasm (in this case of the female). “She’ll be driving six white horses when she comes” is a reference to group sex or a “gang bang”. The line “We will kill the old red rooster when she comes”, in addition to the obvious “cock” imagery, also hearkens back to the Shakespearean use of “die” as a euphemism for orgasm.
If you chew on one of the pink spoons given out at Baskin Robbins long enough, it will turn into bubble gum.
