DID YOU KNOW...? <br /><br />Mosquito repellents don't repel. They hide you. The spray blocks the mosquito's sensors so they don't know you're there. <br /><br />Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. I keep my toothbrush in the living room now. <br /><br />The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for blood plasma. <br /><br />No piece of paper can be folded in half more than 7 times. <br /><br />Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes. <br /><br />You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.... and you thought I was just lazy..<br /><br />Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty years of age or older. <br /><br />The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum. <br /><br />The king of hearts is the only king without a mustache. <br /><br />A Boeing 747's wingspan is longer than the Wright brother's first flight.<br />The wingspan of the B-36, a retired USAF bomber, was twice as long. <br /><br />American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating 1 olive from each salad served in first class.. <br /><br />Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. <br /><br />Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. <br /><br />The plastic things on the end of shoelaces are called aglets. <br /><br />Most dust particles in your house are made from dead skin. <br /><br />The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer.<br />So did the first 'Marlboro Man'. <br /><br />Barbie's full first name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. <br /><br />Michael Jordan makes more money from Nike annually than all of the Nike factory workers in Malaysia combined. <br /><br />Marilyn Monroe had six toes. <br /><br />All U.S. presidents have worn glasses. Some just didn't like to be seen wearing them in public. <br /><br />Walt Disney was afraid of mice. <br /><br />Pearls melt in vinegar. <br /><br />It is possible to lead a cow upstairs...but not downstairs. <br /><br />The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days when engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases. <br /><br />And the best for last... <br /><br />Turtles can breathe through their butts.

Re: Did You Know?

Odd job sent to me by e-mail. So I do not claim right to it's authenticity. I also questioned the acorn thingy.<br /><br />JB I think the 6 toes was on one foot. :confused: <br /><br />The ones that I thought where interesting were:<br /><br />>Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.<br /><br />>The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer.<br />So did the first 'Marlboro Man'.<br /><br />and> Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

I think it's safer to keep the toothbrush in the car.

The ToothBrush had to be invented by a redneck in Kentucky because if it was invented anywhere else it would have been called a teethBrush.

Scamper:<br />I was just down to Houston in early October. Just loved your frontage roads, I think it was along the Sam Houston Tollway. Three lanes on each side of the freeway, running 60 mph. Those roads were bigger than our freeways here in the Portland OR-Vancouver Wa area. They sure weren't built by no tree hugging socialists. :)

What's a toothbrush?<br /><br />........and, is having six toes on one foot supposed to be abnormal?<br /><br />I really don't think many people were looking at Marilyn's feet. :eek:
