Every drop of sea water contains approximately 1 billion gold atoms.
I doubt if this is true.
I don't think it's true either, though it is certainly possible considering that 1 billion gold atoms is not nearly enough to be felt or detected reliably.
In fact, a billion atoms of gold only weighs 0.00000000000032708 grams. Which, you can tell, is not a lot.

Well didn't hitler say that anyone without blonde hair and blue eyes was jewish... well either im wrong or my history teacher made it up.
No, he just preferred people with blond hair/blue eyes because he believed in the perfect Aryan race... in other words, people who had blond hair/blue eyes. Nothing about people without those eyes and hair being Jewish.

Yeah, you're either Jewish or you're not. The fact he comes from a Jewish family is irrelevant.

Judaism is a religion, being Jewish however is cultural. It is not like Christian or Muslim or Buddhist where you are one or you're not, a Jewish person is someone who is descended from Jews (whether they are religiously Jewish or not).
