In 1977, there was a boy who found a tooth growing on his foot.
In the early 80s, there was a toad who actually meowed instead of croaked. In Virginia, it's illegal to have a woman on top during sex. Butterflies taste with their feet. Turtles breathe through their butts ![]() It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow. (NOTE: Over 75% of the people who read this will attempt to lick their elbow) Women who read romance novels have sex twice as often as those who don't. The word "gymnasium" comes from the Greek word gymnazein which means "to exercise naked." "Passion purpura" is the medical term for a hickey. In Oxford, Ohio, it's illegal for a woman to strip off her clothing while standing in front of a man's picture. The word "vanilla" comes from the Latin word for v@gina, because of the vanilla pod's resemblance to the female genitalia. Woman have a better sense of smell than men. Our nose and ears will never stop growing. The electric chair was invented by a dentist. Elvis wasn't accepted in the choir. The teacher said he couldn't sing. Clark Gable (Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind) didn't have any teeth. He wore dentures. Vivien Leigh (Scarlett O'Hara) was so frustrated with them that she refused to do anymore love scenes until he "washed his mouth out". Speaking of Clark, Marilyn Monroe was the cause of his death. When they were doing a movie together, she caused him so much frustration (she always showed up late, drunk and often forgot her lines) that he had a heart attack and died. Hugh Hefner (owner of Playboy) was 22 when he lost his virginity. If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33. She would stand 7 feet, two inches tall. Those are my weird facts ![]() |

I know more!!!! Some of them are the same ones though
~A whale's penis is called a dork ~Did you know you share your birthday with at least 9 million other people in the world. ~"Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt". ~111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 ~A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes. ~A pig's penis is shaped like a corkscrew. ~On an American one-dollar bill, there is an owl in the upper left-hand corner of the "1" encased in the "shield" and a owl hidden in the front upper right-hand corner. ~Grapes explode when you put them in the microwave. ~The first word spoken by an ape in the movie Planet of the Apes was "Smile". ~"Underground" is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters "und." ~More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes. ~Pocahontas appeared on the back of the $20 bill in 1875. ~Swans are the only birds with penises. ~Shrimps' hearts are in their heads. ~Jellyfish have no brains, yet they can tell light from dark, and sence movement. ~Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. ~Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds. Dogs only have about 10. ~If you are an average American, in your whole life, you will spend an average of 6 months waiting at red lights. ~Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. ~Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite. ~When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a two-way mirror?? Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror. However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, for it is a two-way mirror ~Turtles can breathe through their butts ~The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid. ~The Bible does not say there were three wise men; it only says there were three gifts. ~The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. So did the first 'Marlboro Man'. ~Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words. |

In an average lifetime, everyone will eat 7-8 spiders.
This mostly occurs in your sleep so you never notice, but basically the spiders drops down and goes plop into your mouth. |
