This fact is completely wrong, an average of 9 spiders "supposedly crawl into your mouth", in your entire liftime, not so scary, 200? Don't be ridiculous, we could choke to death on that many.Bored Tomatoe said:
What Fact Shocked You The Most

- Start date
ships, planes and coal-fired power plants don't come with warnings eitherRAKtheUndead said:That's because ships, planes and coal-fired power plants all produce far more pollution than the automobile.corroded said:True, but interestingly... no one complains about particulate matter from cars.berethond said:Actually calling marijuana 'completely harmless' is total BS.Toners said:that morphine, used frequently as a painkiller, is the pure form of heroin. seriously. also how would cocaine STOP your nose from bleeding? :S
also (more drug related stuff) why tobacco, known to cause lung, throat and mouth cancers is readily available in shops, but marajuana, a completely harmless substance, is an illegal drug. also alcohol... what the hell? that kills thousands of people a year (never stopped me though). It turns out one of the main reasons marajuana was banned in the UK was because it wasn't easy to control its production, because it grows naturally in our climate. huh. (also the paranoia risk, but mainly the first reason)
Drug lecture over
You're still inhaling smoke and addicting brain-altering chemicals.
Also, marijuana actually has more carcinogens than tobacco.
Regarding the heroin facts, heroin is actually remarkably easy to make, and as a result, medicinal chemists are only allowed to purchase limited amounts of morphine, because heroin can be synthesised from it.
regardless I think it's because people don't tend to suck air out of the exhausts of cars, and those that do tend to do so to commit suicide (or because they have a weird car exhaust fetish... yeah, that's right ford escort, who's your daddy?!)Also yeah, it's scary how easily you can get hold of the stuff, because although even hardcore druggies say they'd never touch it, there's a big market for it. However, it's not half as addictive as crack cocaine...
That maggots only eat dead flesh and are ideal for cleaning wounds. Completely knocked me on my ass i can tell you.
If a shell hit a bunker with him outside the explosion would have hurt him more than the people inside the bunker. That's the point of a bunker. And if the shell was powerful enough to destroy the bunker then that means it would have hurt him even more.FallToYourDeath said:
Isn't the fact that there are various versions of the same story a bit suspicious as well? That is, in addition to the fact that all the versions don't make any sense.
If that is true then I feel stupid for denying it. But I have no reason to believe it's true. Firstly that story never made it into the US news (I looked), which explains why I never heard of it. If the information was credible, I would think it would be more widely known. Secondly, the news stories are basing this fact on the word of one man (thus the lack of credibility). And they mention that Hitler was found to have only one testicle in the Soviet Autopsy, though even I know that that claim was later admitted to be false.traceur_ said:
So I remain unconvinced.
Tendons (or sinews, I don't know the correct term) connected to muscles further up your arm. Each finger and the thumb has its own tendon (or whatever), except for the ring and little fingers, which share one. This is why your ring finger is the least mobile and dexterous of your fingers, as anyone who plays the piano will quickly discover.bernthalbob616 said:
Why can I believe that?
Yeah I knew about the HIV thing, it is pretty shocking really. Such a small percentage though so it's unlikely that many people who get it will be immune to it, though tbh they'd never know would they.NeonZombie said:
