Napoleon Bonaparte wasn't actually short, he just surrounded himself with very tall body-guards, making him short by comparison. Adolf Hitler made a law stating that all lobsters had to be killed humanely before being boiled, rather than just tossing them the boiling water live (the common way to cook them).
Apple seeds have cyanide? Crikey.
OT: That could be a good anti-smoking ad. Pack of 20 a day, or 400 apple seeds? Either way you're pumping your body with cyanide so save your lungs, eat an apple!

Did you know, that the "daddy-long-legs" spider is actually extrememly venemous?
It's fangs are too small and blunt to pierce human skin.

Spiders' silk is five times stronger than steel and 30 times more stretchy than nylon. An average spider will spin more than four miles of silk in a lifetime and this can be collected and woven into garments.
However, the spiders' predatory nature makes them tricky to farm: put 10,000 spiders in a sealed room and you will eventually end up with a single enormously fat spider. (Despite their reputation, female black widows only eat one in ten of their mates, although they can get through twenty five partners in one day.)

seriously, it must be one of these urban myths that everyone thinks is true.Cpt_Oblivious said:
one that definatly is true: in order to make an object orbit the earth you would have to throw it somewhere in the region on 800Km/s (kilometers per second)
Did you know that Dolly Parton and her sister once entered a Dolly Parton look-alike contest... and her sister won?
Well... it's a rumour. I know that Charlie Chaplain also once lost a Charlie Chaplain look-alike contest. That one as far as I know, is actually true.
Judges are dumb.

Did you know that the reason we associate the colour blue with males, and pink with females, is that in ancient times people believed clothing your child in those colours would protect them from evil spirits in the home and nursery.
This was done recently. Got like 300 replies last I saw.
Well um, I have this book of just facts and the one my friends like the most is this one. Gram Crackers and Kellogg's Corn Flakes were originally marketed as a cure for 'chronic masturbation'. Yea, my friends are mature. Anyway, moving away from penises and sex, Possums don't play dead. What happens is they are scared so something happens to them and they pass out and pee on themselves. The appearing to be dead and the smell dissuades other animals from eating them(usually).
