11. 315 entries in Webster's 1996 Dictionary were misspelled.

35. Celery has negative calories! It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has in it to begin with. It's the same with apples!

38. Guinness Book of Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Public Libraries.

3. Your stomach produces a new layer of mucus every two weeks otherwise it would digest itself.

6. A raisin dropped in a glass of freshchampagne will bounce up
and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.

11. 315 entries in Webster's 1996 Dictionary were misspelled.

17. Orcas (killer whales) kill sharks by torpedoing up into the shark's stomach from underneath, causing the shark to explode.

18. Most lipstick contains fish scales.

21. Upper and lower case letters are named 'upper' and 'lower' because in the time when all original print had to be set in individual letters, the 'upper case' letters were stored in the case on top of the case that stored the smaller, 'lower case' letters.

27. Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors. Also, it took him 10
years to paint Mona Lisa's lips.

28. A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it instantly go mad and sting itself to death.

31. By raising your legs slowly and lying on your back, you can't sink in quicksand (and you thought this list was completely useless).

32. The phrase "rule of thumb" is derived from an old English law, which stated that you couldn't beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.

33. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first class.
