Answers: All of the above are true. Don't you just love number sixteen?

 

how the hell is 2 true?
how are u born without a bellybutton?

 

Well, I knew somebody that didn't have a bellybutton. When she was born, the umbilical cord was cut so that it didn't scar - and that's what a bellybutton is, after all. The doctor didn't mean to do it, it's just one of those once-in-a-while occurances. You can have very minor surgery to have one made (again, it's just a scar anyway). She had a VERY unnoticable spot where the umbilical cord was, but it was completely flat and matched her "normal" skin colour almost-perfectly. Her mom said it used to be a bit more noticable, but faded and flattened out over the years like any other scar would.

I don't want to answer all the "true or false" stuff, but figured I'd comment on that because I actually knew someone that lacked a bellybutton and a lot of people don't believe it's possible. Just like you end up with either an "innie" or "outie" depending on how the cord was cut and everything, you can end up with none at all... it's just a less-common occurance.

 

I know that originally the toothbrush was invented by indians from a plant of some sort. But the plastic kind was invented in alabama. Note that it's called a toothbrush when it should be teethbrush. Thats an alabamian for you, no offense cause i happen to be one myself.

 

Cool! I guess it just struck a chord (umbilical) in you.

 

probably, but your body is more fragile in cold weather

that would explain why it makes u sooo tired when u sneeze a lot

lol wth

and melted chocolate is dark brown paint.
ew

 

Actually, an innie or an outtie is determied by whether you had an umbelical hernia as a baby. Innies are not herniated, outties are. Has nothing to do with "how they are cut" as there is an extra few inches which fall off in the first few weeks, so the "cut" has nothing to do with it. But, also, I have never heard of people being born without navels.

As for Hitch, this is from an Alfred Hitchcock website.

 

Theyre all false !

 

i knew someone who tragically died in a toilet accident
the shit literally hit the fan.

 

ok, i like this kind of thing to have fun with.

1. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.
true, at least it is for me. the difference between alertness and somnolence is BLOOD sugar levels. i'm not sure exactly what caffene is supposed to do, other then on an empty stomic, give me diareah. FOOD is what gets me going. i HAVE to EAT something to 'wake up'.

2. Alfred Hitchcock did not have a bellybutton.
how the effing ell would i know and why the ... ... would i care?

3. A pack-a-day smoker will lose approximately 2 teeth every 10 yrs.
i don't know about teeth, but 10 years of otherwise probable longevity!

4. People do not get sick from cold weather; it's from being indoors a lot more.
actualy its the thermal shock from going into and out of places at extremely different temperatures that lowers resistence. its still the internal ecological balance of micro-organisms that sickness and health are outward symptoms of however.

5. When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop, even your heart!
anything is possible, but i kind of doubt it.

6. Only 7 per cent of the population are lefties.
of WHICH population? where? dollars to doughnuts that has something to do with the cultures they grow up in.

7. 40 people are sent to the hospital for dog bites every minute.
it's a big world, all sorts of things happen among the billions of us there are living on it.

8. Babies are born without knee caps. They don't appear until they are 2-6 years old.
dee dee dee dee (twilight zone themesong time here)

9. The average person over fifty will have spent 5 years waiting in lines.
is that all?

10. The toothbrush was invented in 1498.
this is another one where being more specific might be more meaningful. of course i suspect that date was pulled out of someone's ass.

11. The average housefly lives for one month.
nope. i don't know what an "average housefly" is, but there are species that live 48 hours or less, that are quite commonly and conveniently used for genetic research.

12. 40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year.
lame joke, another who knows, who cares. just watch where you're sitten and shitten

13. A coat hanger is 44 inches long when straightened.
somewhere one is. are you refering to the ones you get back from the cleaners?

14. The average computer user blinks 7 times a minute.
i'm presuming you're talking about earth human computer users.

15. Your feet are bigger in the afternoon than the rest of the day.
mine actualy do swell up when i haven't gotten enough sleep

16. Most of us have eaten a spider in our sleep.
those of us who sleep on our backs

17. The REAL reason an ostrich sticks its head in the sand is to search for water.
possibly, i've never studied them so i wouldn't know if they even actualy do

18. The only 2 animals that can see behind themselves without turning their heads are the Rabbit and the Parrot.
haha. i think i see what you're getting at, although many rodents have their eyes similarly placed

19. John Travolta turned down the starring roles in "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "Tootsie". this is another "i should care?"

20. Michael Jackson owns the rights to the South Carolina State anthem.
no, but there is some state over there that one of our counterculture composers was commissioned to write a new state anthem for

21. In most television commercials advertising milk, a mixture of white paint and a little thinner is used instead of real milk. rotoscoping is quite popular too.

22. Prince Charles and Prince William NEVER travel on the same airplane, just in case there is a crash. might be a good idea, but i doubt it.

23. The first Harley Davidson motorcycle built in 1903 used a tomato can for a carburetor. very possible, but another subject i'm not familiar enough with to judge

24. Most hospitals make money by selling the umbilical cords cut from women who give birth. They are reused in vein transplant surgery.
most hospitals make money charging five times what anything costs them, and everything made for them costs 20 times what the same thing would for anything else.

25. Humphrey Bogart was related to Princess Diana. They were 7th cousins.
bogart was cool. di was cool. who'se related to who, who cares?

26. If coloring weren't added to Coca-Cola, it would be Green
well it would look green in the green glass bottles it i can remember that it came in.
i've seen, and drank, colas without carmel coloring. they were clear. like plain carbonated water. of course they weren't products of coke or pepsi.

=^^=
.../\...

 

hahahahahaha! oh my god, please tell me you are serious! that is hilarious!

 

lol IM KIDDIN'! that would be hilarious tho, wouldnt it? well, elvis died on the pot...0_0
