did you know that when neil armstrong landed on the moon, he said "good luck Mr.Gretzky"(not sure if the name is correct). people later asked him why he said this and it was because when he was younger he kicked his ball into his nieghbours garden (Mr.Gretzky) and he heard coming from the bedroom "ORAL SEX! ill give you oral sex when this kid (points at neil) walks on the moon"

Did you know... That's not true.
People have asked Mr. Armstrong about this and he's told them countless times that it's completely made up.

More info about its made-upness here: http://www.snopes.com/quotes/mrgorsky.asp

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.
[small](Not sure how true that is, I heard it years ago)[/small]

ive heard that also, seems possible but it could be an urban myth

im pretty sure its not a form of spider, im not even sure if it an arachnid

actually this is apparently false.. they can pierce our skin.. if i remember correctly it was on myth busters <3

I used to play with them as a kid. They do bite, but it doesn't hurt at all.

Half of these posts have been about animal's reproductive organs, so I'll add one more.

Did you know that an average human eats 8 spiders, in ones whole life, while sleeping.

Seriously, if that was true, we'd have traces of spider flesh in our mouths.

Did you know, that chernoby is one of the most popular tourist spots in ukraine?

Yes that's how boring Ukraine is, no one will go there unless it is irradiated.

Holy shit, Chernobyl is still irradiated? [I probably sound stupid.] Holy shit, I wanna visit there even more now, just for that fact.

Ya, radiation lasts a LONG time after it's used or whatever (as in billions of years). That's why nuclear power isn't a good alternative energy.

The noises that turtle made were hilarious.

Did you know that sneezes leave your body at 100 mph? And that when you sneeze, your heart stops? Actually, no. It doesn't! The pressure in your chest changes your blood flow!

Chameleons don't change their appearance with their environment, it's based on their mood. Plesiosaurs, pterasaurs, and ichthysaurs are NOT dinosaurs. Piranas are not as vicious as people say they are. Mantis Shrimp have the most complex eye out of anything in the animal kingdom. Teddy Roosevelt practiced Judo. Nixon founded the EPA and made the Endangered Species Act. Bobbit worms are named after a women who cut off her husband's penis. Trilobites are named for the 3 line-sections that run the length of their bodies.

 

[Bazaalmon]

The armadillo has (proportionally) the largest penis of any animal? If a man had a penis of the same proportion, it would be just over 4 feet long?
