| | I am debunker so expect a lot of comments from me...the duck quack does echo..so that is wrong. Title 14,Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July 16 1969 - this is debunked in snopes.com There are references to Superman and he does have a superman on his book shelf but not sure if it is seen in every episode. This is a link to a legit site of computer problems and butt pictures is not on them http://www.discountcopier... Fish scales in lipstick - The ingredient under discussion is called pearl essence. (Some sources give this as "pearlescence.") It's the silvery stuff found in fish scales that's used in some lipsticks, nail polishes, ceramic glazes, etc., to make them shimmery. Pearl essence is obtained primarily from herring and is one of many by-products of large-scale commercial fish processing. Synthetic versions have been developed, but to what extent they've supplanted the natural variety I hesitate to say. The cosmetics companies were not forthcoming and I got contrary stories from different industry observers. Fishermen still collect the stuff, though, and one presumes it's being put to good use. sneezing -- http://www.snopes.com/science/stats/sneeze.asp Goldfish don't get pregnant..they are egg layers PHone call - that is a statistic that was true in 1996. Horse vomit - it is rare but a horse can vomit and live Animals can't jump -- sloths, hippopotami and probably sea cows and various burrowing rodents Enough...I can't do anymore | | | | | | |

| | em]confused[/em] Oh a lot of these, I kept finding myself saying, Really. Those were some pretty cool facts. I was em]confused[/em]about the ballpoint pen one. How does a person choke on a ballpoint pen. I know that people like to put pens in their mouth. I guess it would slide down their throat. I do not know, that one is odd, LOL. | | | | | | |
