The Random Fact Thread!

I've also heard that the celery thing isn't true. But that's just me talking.

 

Fact: Celery is awful to eat.

[Shakakahn]

But 2 calories Is a lot less then you would get from a normal snack/meal

Plus I personally love to eat celery..... It's one of my favorite munch foods

;)

[ecnarf]

It's also a lot less than you'd get from, say, walking up the stairs.

[Prometheon]

The celery thing is true, you can check it out on Snopes.

[Shakakahn]

Regardless, I still love celery.... I could care less about the calorie intake

[Prometheon]

Here's a random fact that is apparently relatively common knowledge, but I'd never heard before. It blew my mind. Check this out:

 

Glass is a liquid. It apparently just flows really really slowly.

 

Apparently if you go to really old houses and look at the windows and stuff they'll be thicker near the bottom than the top. This effect also causes stained glass in really old churches to distort slightly over long periods of time.

[Shakakahn]

Thats insane... I've never heard it either... sounds a bit out there

inflammable means flammable

tee hee. it's so confusing.

All dog breeds except chow-chows have black lips to prevent them from getting sunburned.

 

(I always thought they had gingivitis)

[Lauren]

what colour are chow-chows? are they the ones with the blue tongues?

 

edit: chow chows do have black lips:

owen. i <3 you right now

[Kyle86]

pink in the sink is NOT a sign of just brushing too hard.

 

Ask your dental hygenist.

[Lauren]

i don't get it. blood is red. it doesn't turn pink when mixed with toothpaste. pink in the sink indicates a bigger problem than gingervitis.

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.

[Computer]

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people do.

It's because everything is made for you assholes... seriously. Being left handed is like having a handicap.

[Prometheon]

Something around 2000 (or is it only 200?) lefthanded people die every year from using products designed for right handed people incorrectly.

yeh i agree. I hate being left handed.

The most annoying thing is that you can't write stuff in your binder, you have to take the paper out.

[Lauren]

perhaps you could turn the binder upside down, or flip the paper over to the otherside and write on the backsides.

 

 

i think they probably die earlier because 9 years before their regularily schedualed death is to take place, their right hand spasms from years of unuse and kills them. just a theory.

[Guest jsunC]

Or maybe because it's a world-wide statistic and Most of Chinese people are left handed, and their life expectancy is lower than that of most North American and European nations.

 

Just a thought.

[Lauren]

you didn't need to be an ass about it.
