Gah! I'm sure people make these lists just to annoy me.

 

24. Most hospitals make money by selling the umbilical cords cut from women who give birth. They are used in vein transplant surgery.

I don't think this is true. I think several of these are nonsense, to be honest.

For another quick example:

 

17. The REAL reason ostriches stick their head in the sand is to search for water.

They don't stick their heads in the sand. It's an ostrich myth.

 

There are many other fallacies in this list. I mean... I'm no engineer but I know that a tomato can is not likely to make a suitable carburettor, especially for something so carefully and lovingly engineered as the first Harley Davidson.

All the following are true! It's incredible:

 

1 - Malteezers are, in fact, rocking horse droppings.

2 - Children loose the ability to see into the future by the age six months.

3 - Due to a genetic anomaly, the tribes of Papa New Guinea they only have words for the colours 'Red' and 'Yellow'. Everything else is invisible to them.

4 - If you put a cat beside a source of high radiation, its fur falls out.

5 - The trombone is the only musical instrument which can be heard from space.

6 - The word 'palindrome', when written in Arabic, reads the same forwards as it does backwards. But only on Wednesday.

7 - The average person will lick the back of 956 stamps in their lifetime.

8 - Due to relatavistic effects, running the wrong way up an escalator adds an extra day to your life expectancy. If you do it whilst smoking, the results cancel each other out.

9 - The Oxford English dictionary has decided that the word 'juxtaposition' is too pretentious to be included in its next edition.

10 - A duck's quack does echo, but only if it's a very loud duck, or a quiet day.

11 - Eating spiders in your sleep is an excellent way to gain super-powers.

I never knew that ... I did it in W H Smiths once when I was younger and faster than I am now. Some idiot stopped the escalator when I was almost at the top, I almost broke their glass door as I flew out of the shop.

 

I'd have to run up a lot to cancel out all the fags I've smoked, though ...

Is this "True or False" ?

 

 

The following ad in the Atlanta Journal is reported to have received the most calls ever on a singles ad:

 

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE seeks male companionship, ethnicity unimportant.

I'm a very good looking girl who loves to play. I love long walks in the woods, riding in your pickup truck, hunting, camping and fishing trips,

cozy winter nights lying by the fire. Candlelight dinners will have me

eating out of your hand. Rub me the right way and watch me respond. I'll

be at the front door when you get home from work wearing only what nature gave me.

Kiss me and I'm yours. Call (404) 875-6420 and ask for Daisy.

 

 

Scroll down for the answer....
