Hey guys, found some interesting and strange facts, some are just facts I have known a long time ago(school, wandering around websites), others are ones that I have found, I apply the source if available. Any others you may want to add up feel free to do so. Enjoy!

1) Coca-cola was once green.
From Wikipedia.org: It was green because it was accidentally carbonated when a clerk squirted syrup into the wrong glass.

2)Barbie doll measurements if she were life size: 39-23-33. Wow... she's cut from the team.

3)Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair. *Checks... Woot!

4)You blink about 84 million times a year. O_O -.- O_O yup...

5)The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910. EW..

6)Hershey's Kisses are called like that cause of the sound the chocolate makes while being extruded in the manufacturing process.

7)Bullet proof vests, fire escapes, laser printers and windshields all have been invented by women.

8)There are more collect calls on Father's Day than any other day of the year.

9)Approximately 200,000,000 M & M's are sold each day in the United States

10)Every single citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath at least once a year.

I guess that someone did a thorough, scientific study to discover the dolphin thing ... but I have to wonder who was curious enough to propose looking into it?

Well the only type of person that I can think of that would possibley be interested in something like that would be some poor, sex starved nerd working on a Masters Degree in Biology (of the male persuation) sitting behind a desk. (looks in mirror real quick) Nope not me I'm a techno-geek...not a nerd there is a difference...lol

Wow, those are facts I didn't know... not a one of them.

QUOTE
11)There's more printed money in Monopoly than real money in a year.
That's pretty funny, I love Monopoly! Just curious though, does that mean money value or just single bills, regardless of value? If it means value then that could be because of the whole $500 bill thing.

QUOTE
9)Approximately 200,000,000 M & M's are sold each day in the United States
That could explain why most people in the U.S. are overweight or obese... too many M&M's. Good thing I'm not much of a chocolate fan.

QUOTE
5)The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910. EW..
Guess they start young over there... lol. laugh.gif

QUOTE
4)You blink about 84 million times a year. O_O -.- O_O yup...
I had heard that women blink about twice as many times as men, or maybe it was the other way around, but either way I hadn't heard 84 million times a year, that's a lot of blinking. blink.gif <-- blink, blink.

That's not all true, and some of it is easily disproved.

For instance:

QUOTE
13)The longest word that can be typed with the left hand only is stewardess.


Assuming that you meant "The longest word that can be typed with the left hand only without leaving the home keys", the pluralized form of the word, stewardesses, is two letters longer. But for all we know, the longest could be something else entirely.

QUOTE
3)Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.


This one reeks of pseudo-science.

QUOTE
5)The world's youngest parents were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910. EW..


Together, maybe. But I've heard of girls as young as 6 giving birth.

QUOTE
15)Humans and dolphins are the only animal species that have sex for pleasure.


Wrong. Ever see a chimp masturbate? I was on an elementary school field trip at the zoo, when I saw one off in the corner takin' care of bidness, as it were. Obviously, if an animal is masturbating or engaged in homosexual congress and it is smart enough to know that it's not having regular sex, then it can be assumed that the goal is pleasure.

For a well-written introduction to animal homosexuality, I present a link.

QUOTE
7)Bullet proof vests, fire escapes, laser printers and windshields all have been invented by women.


This is simply too vague to be true in any meaningful sense of the word. For instance, Kevlar was invented by Stephanie Kwolek from DuPont. Did she invent bullet-proof vests? Nope. Kevlar vests aren't the only kind of bullet-proof vests, anyway! The Archduke Franz Ferdinand was wearing a silk bullet-proof vest when he was shot in the neck by Black Hand. There were boilerplates in the old west and all manner of bullet-proofing, mostly by men, since bullets were invented.

If you're interested in zany facts which are also, coincidentally, TRUE, I suggest you visit http://straightdope.com. Cecil will take real good care of you.

Haha so true. It's weird seeing anything other than humans doing that. I especially hate it when dogs do it around my neighborhood. God someone needs to strike those dogs down. Seriously, it scares people away. Anyways, dolphins are pretty smart, so they know what they are doing...and that is wrong in their case. To be honest, I don't know why I am sayign that O_o Humans are ok, dolphins are not okay. Weird logics by me ...

Yes... I don't especially like when my dog does that... I mean if you watch it then it is funny, but if you think about it then it is absolutely sick. I mean even puppies do it, even when they're really young! It's just as if some man would come up to you naked with a erect and excited "Mr. Johnson" and start "hittin" on you... and I mean LITERALLY hitting you with it. I don't even want to think about it...

And #10... believe me that is not the most ridiculous law! There are laws on things that you would never think about as against the law... weird USA Laws! There's a book on that!

Very interesting fact. And I would deeply like to understand what you are talking about. Talking about a set of conveyors, and more precisely a sentence stating that the faulty one is number six?

Probably mastermind was talking about an old bug which is now solved.
