Perhaps if this hadn't been an ongoing internet rumor that I've debunked for the 50 thousandth time, on a site that was more politically sophisticated on average then this, then I would've interpreted it as sarcasm.
Pi is finite?
That's because that claim is just one of the many jabs the sexes take at eachother. It probably started as a widespread playful jab, and apparently fell into factdom.I understood perfectly what you meant, but you can't seem to support your view.
Err, and how exactly? Please not "by rubbing it together at million km/h velocity."
It's impossible to state how often someone thinks of something during their period?
It Depends: I get what you're trying to say, but you have to be specific. 1 gallon of cold water will weigh more than 1 gallon of warm water, yes. But you have to note that you're talking about warm water and cold water in equal amounts of volume, otherwise it's not true.
Water is heaviest at +4 celsius degrees. This is also why lakes don't usually freeze to the bottom and thus, leaving the fish in the lake alive.
Can you explain what peeing backswards means?
I betcha anything that's because of the Fourth of July.
False. Since there's been some arguing about this in the last few posts, I just want to confirm that this is a baseless claim.
False. It's been made from a lot of things in the past (never bird crap... mostly plant or oil based pigments); in modern times, it's made of water, glycerin, and white powder containing zinc or titanium oxides.
True. The so-called "Vomit Island" is actually called West Sister Island and is located in Lake Erie in Ohio. It was featured on an episode of Dirty Jobs.
False. The warmest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was 59 degrees F (15 degrees C) in 1974.
True. Now that is interesting and ironic!
Partially True. At least, American was the official language in that state. In 1923, Illinois passed a bill declaring the official state language as "American"; but it was amended (back to "English") in 1969.
False. There are plenty of animals that can't jump, and it's not even confirmed that elephants are one of them. While you probably won't see most elephants jumping, there is apparently an "Elephant Jumping Festival" held annually in Nairobi, Africa; it's possible that African elephants can "jump", even if only a little.
Blue whales actually have been known to "breach" (jump out of the water); in fact, many marine animals do this, including humpback whales, dolphins, and great white sharks among others.
Other mammals that can't jump include sloths, hippopotamuses, manatees, and maybe even some small rodents.
True. Well, almost. The star closest to the earth (besides the sun) is Proxima Centauri which is about 4.2 light years away from us, or 39,735,360,000,000,000 meters (24,690,360,643,200 miles). A car traveling 100 mph (44.7 meters/second) would take 888,934,228,187,920 seconds to reach it, which is 28,169,228 years. So it would take just over 28 million years to do it!
True. The NHTSA makes available a convenient table of motor vehicle accident statistics. According to it, there were more fatal car crashes in July of 2006 than any other month in that year; 3,524 to be exact. It was the same in 2005. However, in 2003 and 2004, August had the most, and in 2003, it was September. You can view data all the way back to 1994 on the website.
True. The Grand Canyon's North Rim averages 142" per year, and its South Rim gets about 58" per year. Either way, both numbers are higher than the amount of snowfall Minneapolis received in 2006-2007: a mere 48.6".
Partially True. Land snails do breathe through their skin, which includes the foot. Aquatic snails have gills near their rear and a mouth in front. And a few very specialized land snails have an actual lung in the rear of their body and all gas exchange takes place there instead of through the skin.
False. At least as far as I know, the two are not related. It's also possible to look at this from a physiological perspective: Blushing is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, which shunts blood away from the digestive system/stomach; digestion and directing of blood to the digestive organs is controlled by the parasympathetic system. So in other words, the two are caused by competing parts of the nervous sytem.
False. I couldn't find any evidence for this; it was only on trivia sites!
Fact: GoldShadow should have won the Most Intelligent Award.Seriously GoldShadow...How did you not win most intelligent. After all these facts you've check....it doesn't make sense.
True?I like math ones. This is a really cool equation, but it's called Euler's Equation. I've never heard it called "god's equation".
True... but some are more prominent than others. Vinton Cerf is commonly called "The father of the internet" because he pretty much invented TCP/IP.
that's a given....right?
negative! call of duty ***** halo anyday
Milking cows usually end up to burgers at the age of about 5 years and a good cow can produce about 8200 liters of milk a year - about 35 000 liters as they don't milk instantly after birth. A glass is about 2,5dl, which gives us 140 000 glasses of milk per cow.
Actually, an egg will float in water if it's not cooked and if it's not yet deteriorated.
Yeah, pure snow reflects the sun rays off them better than the infrared-sucking darker snow.
If I recall correctly this is rubbish.
Hypocrisy at its best...
