Up until 1982 it was legal to kill a Native American if there were six or more because it was considered a war party one man invented 8 to party killed them all and got away with it.

Detonating a nuclear warhead in downtown manhatten carries a $500 fine.

84% of women in the world don't have an orgasm during sex and 61 percent said they faked an orgasm with their last partner.

The record number of orgasms held by a woman in one hour was 137 for a male: 17.

All of the nuclear weapons in the world do not have enough potential energy to keep even the most mild hurricane going for a single day.

There is enough surcose and energy in the average human body to run 20 miles nonstop.

AndÉI have a final tomarrow at 10:30 AM and I'm not asleep yetÉ

The Correct fact would be "Gila monster is one of only two poisonous Lizards" Lizards being a particular family of reptiles.

heres an email i got:


Only in Britain... can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance.

Only in Britain... do Supermarkets make the sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.

Only in Britain... do people order double cheeseburgers,
large fries, and a DIET coke.
Only in Britain... do banks leave both doors open and chain the pens to the counters.

Only in Britain... do we leave cars worth thousands of pounds on the drive and put our junk and cheap lawn mower in the garage.

Only in Britain... do we buy hot dogs in packs of ten and buns in packs of eight.

Only in Britain... do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in Britain... are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink.

3 Brits die each year testing if a 9v battery works on their
tongue.
142 Brits were injured in 1998 by not removing all pins from new shirts.

58 Brits are injured each year by using sharp knives instead of screwdrivers.

31 Brits have died since 1996 by watering their Christmas tree while the fairy lights were plugged in.

19 Brits have died in the last 3 years believing that Christmas decorations were chocolate.

British Hospitals reported 4 broken arms last year after cacker pulling accidents.

101 people since 1997 have had to have broken parts of
plastic toys pulled out of the soles of their feet.
18 Brits had serious burns in 1998 trying on a new jumper with a lit cigarette in their mouth.

A massive 543 Brits were admitted to A&E in the last two years after opening bottles of beer with their teeth.
5 Brits were injured last year in accidents involving out of control Scalectrix cars.

In 1997 eight Brits cracked their skull whilst throwing up into the
toilet


im sure some of these things must happen in other countries, hey maybe we realy are weird

actually...

all of the "only in Britian" sounds like america, though I'm sure its true almost everywhere.

- if a shop is open 24 hours / 365 days a year, why does it have locks on the doors ?

In case the store attendant has to go to the bathroom, or for some reason has to leave, or anything like that. There is a reason, I have it in a book, but I'm too lazy to get it right now.

adding locks probably is cheaper than hiring an additional store attendant ... would probably be the answer
(see we still have useless facts )

- actually, finding that information could prove quite useful for those studying in anthropology, history and, of course, nutrtition...

My pittance of a contribution:

- a squid's brain is wrapped around its esophagus. If it attempts to swallow something too large it will die.

- the brown colour of shit comes from digestive enzymes, not the shit itself.

- the "sin of Onan" is a misnomer. Onan did not masturbate but pulled out after having sex with his brother's widow. God punished him for failing to fulfil his duty to father an heir for his dead brother, not for masturbation (which "might" fall in the category of "sexual immorality" as translated by the NIV). (should be common knowledge but it still surprises me how few people seem to know this. )

- the "leather" look of heavy metal was taken directly from the gay club scene of the '70's.

- the frontal walking animation of the Spider Mastermind refers to half the frames you actually see - the frames are mirrored when the other leg raises.

- in a normal temperate-and-warmer setting one is almost never more than three feet away from a spider.

- in China they have a dish whose name I roughly translate as "three calls." The baby mouse squeaks once when the chopsticks close in on it, once when it is dipped into the sauce and once when one's molars crush it.

- pigs are more intelligent and emotionally sensitive than dogs. But guess which one most Gentile Westerners are more comfortable with eating.

- the classical Greeks regularly practiced man-boy love, and it was considered perfectly decent and acceptable, and was even encouraged, for a youth to engage in regular sex with an older mentor. (well, I was pretty shocked when I first learned this.)

- earthworms take a long, long time to drown. Nasty business.

- it is illegal to portray the genitals in Japan, no matter how explicit the material is otherwise. Any uncensored hentai you see is either drawn by foreign artists or artists working abroad, or was illegally obtained underground.

- a long, long time ago, Quake was originally intended to be a huge, highly interactive RPG starring a Thor-like warrior with a huge hammer of thunderbolts and a ring of regeneration. The subtitle, "Fight for Justice," was mentioned as early as one of the older Commander Keen games.

- Latin has no definite article.

you don't get it
Some clues :
- milk is white ...
- milking cows (when done by hand) has similar motions to that thing god is supposed to have punished Onan for according to some people ...

And while on the subject :
Guess what the 'onanneren' refers to in the Dutch language ?

Discovered recently by Israelian scientists: a brain is also present in each base of each tentacles. In a way, each tentacle has its own intelligence. The central brain only gives an impulsion (get that oyster) and the tentacle follow that order independantly. That is why a squid can do many things at the same time with his tentacles...

The squid is so far the only creature in the world to have multiple brains...

maybe now but several large dinosaurs also had assistant brains near their hind legs or in their tail because it would simply take too long for a signal to travel from the remote location to the brain in their heads and back.
