Kind of a paradox, don't you think? You could never, ever articulate your fear!

It's against the law to burp, or sneeze in a certain church in Omaha, Nebraska!

The eye on an ostrich is bigger than its brain.

Stewardesses is the longest word typed solely with the left hand.

Your stomach must produce a new layer of mucus every two weeks.  Otherwise, it will digest itself.

In 1987, American Airlines devised a program which saved the company $40,000.  The program?  Remove one olive from each salad served in first class.

There are four cars and eleven lightposts on the back of a $10 bill.

According to German researchers, the risk of heart attack is higher on Monday than any other day of the week.

The largest muscle in the human body is the buttock muscle.

Women's hearts generally beat faster than mens.



somehow I think all three of those facts are connected. :uhsure:

Ranked 32nd on TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time," Jim Ignatowski was a character played by Christopher Lloyd in the 1970s television series Taxi. A burned-out product of 1960s counterculture, Ignatowski lived in a world of his own, often exhibiting "spaced-out" behavior as a result of his extensive drug use. However, Lloyd was able to add much humanity to what could have been a one-dimensional role

You can make great chip/kitchen clips out of those throwaway clotheshangers which come with new pants, etc.  Just saw off the clip on each end and throw away the rest.  They are much "tighter" than regular kitchen clips.

I regret I strayed from the original premise of this thread and offered some useful information instead.
