Minihobbsch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 203 million dollars is spent on barbed wire each year in the U.S.
AshMat Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Didn't coke originally have cocaine in it? Hense its name? Yup, also Pepsi is called Pepsi, because it used to contain "Pesin" though i don't actually know what that is..
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Fact: Ford Prefect is actually Tackleberry from the Police Academy movies.
Minihobbsch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 The letters in the abbreviation e.g. stand for exempli gratia - a Latin term meaning "for example."
Guest Ford Prefect Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Fact: Ford Prefect is actually Tackleberry from the Police Academy movies. the who, wha?
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 the who, wha? It's the guy on the left: He's a big gun fanatic, and has an obsession for anything vaguely weaponary/dangerous.
Minihobbsch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 This one is deep...think about the cultural impact this could have: NO WAR HAS BEEN FOUGHT WHERE BOTH COUNTRIES HAD A McDonalds.
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 There are more nutrients in the cornflake package itself than there are in the actual cornflakes. The United States has never lost a war when donkeys were used. A survey reported that 12% of Americans think that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had only one testicle.
Guest Ford Prefect Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Nazi leader Adolf Hitler had only one testicle. WRONG! thats pure myth. he did have alot of things wrong with him, especially by 1945, mostly thanks to his doctor. but he still had both his bollocks right up until SS officers burnt his body. and regarding the guy on the left, i'm smarter :P dunno if i'm a better shot tho....
Minihobbsch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 The first couple in bed on tv were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
Guest Jordan Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg63-e.htm <------- that is the current incarnation of the CMP150 from perfect dark. That gun is also in the disgracefully bad Perfect Dark Zero.

Haha, so the actual fact would be Adolf Hitler had two testicles then. and regarding the guy on the left, i'm smarter :P dunno if i'm a better shot tho.... I'd like to see you two in a duel.
Guest Ford Prefect Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I'd like to see you two in a duel. i'd run off, then snipe him from a hidden location :awesome:

weeyellowbloke Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 I'm still confused as to how a cow can piss backwards. Anyway, my facts of great pointlessness: 1. Isaac Newton invented the cat flap, due to his cat always getting in the way of his experiments. (typical bloody cats) 2. The human heart beats 40 million times a year.
Minihobbsch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 It requires 63 feet of wire to make a Slinky toy.
Mr_Odwin Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Following Ford's revelation, this seems appropriate: 1. Mr_Odwin has two testicles.

Isaac Newton invented the cat flap, due to his cat always getting in the way of his experiments. (typical bloody cats) 2. The human heart beats 40 million times a year. regarding the heart bit one, its one of another "general" stats. most of the "upper" life forms on the planet, IE mamals, rodents etc. have roughly 5,000,000,000,000 heartbeats per life time. goes for anything from an elephant to a mouse. their hearts just beat at a different rate depending on life span. (btw, thats 5 BILLION for anyone stupid or american)
Supergrunch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 1. Isaac Newton invented the cat flap, due to his cat always getting in the way of his experiments. (typical bloody cats) Later on his cat had kittens, and he cut a smaller hole in the door for the kittens to go through... And Ford, I think that fact, although true, does not apply to birds- they live far longer than they should. I remember seeing a programme on TV where people were trying to find out why this was, and managed to extract a substance that made worms live twice as long as normal.
Eenuh Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Yup, also Pepsi is called Pepsi, because it used to contain "Pesin" though i don't actually know what that is.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsin Basically, it's one of the things in your stomach that helps to digest your food. Yum.
Bogbas Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 and regarding the guy on the left, i'm smarter :P dunno if i'm a better shot tho.... + You're alive (I think...) The actor died 5 years ago... Pointless fact: theres a horse beating smiley now available :horse:
Minihobbsch Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 Pointless fact: theres a horse beating smiley now available :horse: RSPCA ftw! Everyone who grew up in the 80's has entered the digits 55378008 in to a calculator - then turned the figures upside down.
Guest Ford Prefect Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 + You're alive (I think...) are you positive? i can't seem to find a pulse myself.....
mario114 Posted July 28, 2006 Posted July 28, 2006 RSPCA ftw! Everyone who grew up in the 80's has entered the digits 55378008 in to a calculator - then turned the figures upside down. Just the 80's....(?)
