For your information that is wrong, it is possible to lick your elbow and quite a lot of people can. It was on 'Brainiac' once and people sent in video clips of them doing it. The one about typewriter being the longest word using the top of keys is interesting though.

I always thought that coke was green but I read on a website saying that coke wasn't ever green (Snopes.com to be exact)

This was quite interesting, and I don't think I'll ever be wearing lipstick again... gross.

yeah the elbow thing is false its called double jointness or triple jointness,

The typewriter is funny tried it out myself.

I think you misread the fact on coke, more like it had concaine when it first went into production.

but some of those are pretty funny and kind of sad, why it tells you what people do on their spare time.

That's a wierd one. How are you supposed to prove it? If it's untrue, you die. But if you try, and your not suicidal, you would have to let go. Unless you pass out because of holding your breath too long. But wouldn't you let go before that? Confusing... blink.gif

Well, think about it. You'll pass out before too long if your brain is deprived of oxygen. You'll pass out before you die, in this case anyways. Since breathing is an automatic function of your body (ie, you don't constantly have to remember to breath), once you pass out, you'll start breathing again, thus making it impossible to kill yourself by holding your breath. smile.gif

Well this isn't true because of North America and South America, unless you just count the "America" part.

That's not cool. I always hold back a sneeze whenever I am at school or something. I started doing that like 5 years ago. It will come out but I will keep my mouth closed.

Pretty funny facts you found. Pretty good entertainment.

It must have to be a really really hard pressurized suppressed sneeze, because Ive sneezed really hard (specially cause I have allergies) and suppressed it many time but nothing like that has ever happened to me. Now that I know I wont do it anymore. (you know when you do something without knowing nothing ever happens to you, but when you do know the consequences or something suddenly it happens. Like the coyote when he is running in the air and he doesnt fall down until he looks down.
