If you having trouble sleeping after reading this post it's not my fault.
Did you know that the fact people eat several spiders in their sleep during their live is actually one of the most quoted scientific "facts" that are in truth total BS?
Did you know there is an "EDIT" button located next to the "QUOTE" one.
Also don't blame me i'm just the messenger.
Haha... I can't believe you actually got mad. Surely you noticed our posts were only a minute apart. Such things is hardly double posting especially when you're replying to a completely different conversations.

But most importantly, by "messenger" you mean that you heard it from someone or somewhere - not knowing what the source is. There's no study about people eating spiders in their sleep, someone just made it up.
Look it up if you don't believe it.

You do not eat a hundred spiders while sleeping during your life.

It's pretty basic biological knowledge many type of cell in human body can never completely grow back once destroyed, so that just can't be true.

Heroin is a brand name.

Orange Fanta was invented in Germany during WW2, but not by Nazis.

In Europe the period between 1870 and 1914 is often called "The great binge" due to the excessive consumption of drugs and alcohol, for instance at the time there was a drink known as 'Vin Mariani' which was made of Cocaine and Wine. Cocaine cough drops were also avaliable and Heroin used as cough medicine for children.

Your brain can choose to blind you in order to protect itself. There were reports during some sort of massacre where people who saw their families being killed before them went blind instantly, despite there being nothing wrong with the eyes themselves. Also, you're blind for roughly 40 seconds a day in total.

Male seahorses make the babies.
They don't "make" the babies, they just incubate them.

It's more of a pouch (like on marsupials) than a proper womb.

I read this in one of those history magazines.
Do you know the original reason why the english use 2 fingers as an insult?

Back in the Braveheart era, when the French and English was at war with echother, the french feated the english longbows very much. The longbows were powerful, long range and all that.
Anyway, whenever the french caught an archer, they started by cutting off both thier fingers they used to shoot arrows, before they killed them. So, before every battle, english archers would hold up thier fingers in the air, screaming "Come and get them!",
