sienna Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Actress Jamie Lee Curtis invented a special diaper for babies that has a pocket. But why? What was the baby going to use the pocket for? 96% of people put the peanut butter on first when making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I was going to say it’s impossible to do any other way because the jelly is usually thinner but I was just proved wrong by englishrose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaryLovesMika! Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Myths useless facts: * One legend claims stealing someone's shadow (by measuring it against a wall and driving a nail through its head) can turn the victim into a vampire. * Avoid people who talk to themselves. According to Ukrainian legend, that could indicate a dual soul and the second one doesn't die! Also watch out for the seventh son of a seventh son, a person born with a red caul (amniotic membrane covering the head), or a child born with teeth. A vampire can result if a cat or dog walks over a fresh grave, a bat flies over the corpse, or the person has died suddenly as a result of suicide or murder. Unfinished business can also cause a body to rise, as can inadequate burial rites, including a grave that is too shallow. * Most vampires are described in folklore as flushed and ruddy, with swollen bodies and bloated faces. Often, they can be identified because they're sitting up in the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foalbaby14 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 here are some random facts: Biomass currently supplies about four percent of the energy produced in the U.S., and could potentially provide almost 20 percent. The U.S. Department of Energy expects wind power to supply at least five percent of the nation's electricity by 2020. Blue whales reach between 70-110 feet in length and weigh up to 150 tons.

Supposedly vampires are supposed to look super pale and stuff, but if you think about it, since they drink blood, shouldn't they look more colorful and red and full of color?!! Like blushy!!

Like blushy!! we may start some useless discussion! maybe the blood doesn't affect their skin because they drink it. like u know, we're not turning orange after having some OJ (luckily ) so maybe they would be blushy if they were making themselves shots with blood but they won't be blushy after drinking some blood? thank you ever so much for this lenghty useless article! lol, it was kind of interesting, i've never heard of harriet the lesbian turtle this thread is killing me today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicfreak Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 wait but does that mean the vampires are excreting blood? and what about this whole garlic thing...?why are they so afraid of garlic, and if they never go out during the day they'd be really pale...? hmmm i kind of like this useless discussion! in case i need to write a paper on vampires, i know where to go!

I once encountered a soup made of blood. i'm not kidding now. never tried it but i saw people eating it. i mean how gross is that?! i do not know what to make of the garlic thing.. i need some time to think and will come back to this issue. now let me share a doubt with you. are vampires religious? why do they sleep in coffins? and also one more thing. we must never use the conclusions we draw here, the discussion would no longer be uselles!

foalbaby14 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 some more useless facts! The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. A bee must tap 4 million flowers to make 2lbs. of honey. There are 3 million honey producing colonies in the United States. Elephants can't jump. Every other mammal can. The longest recorded flight of a chicken is thirteen seconds. :naughty: Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously. The worlds most smallest octopus, the Blue Ring, is also the worlds most poisonous. Sharks apparently are the only animals that never get sick. As far as is known, they are immune to every known disease including cancer.(most interesting to me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On average people fear spiders more than they do death The "pound" key on your keyboard (#) is called an octotroph Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.

wasabi_tea Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 - The Atari 2600 video game 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' is commonly cited as the worst video game ever made. - The eff-word is used 226 times in the movie Scarface. - There are two different English translations of the Hungarian song 'Szomorú Vasárnap', better known as 'Gloomy Sunday'. The better-known one is the Sam M. Lewis version, which was the one that Billie Holliday recorded in 1941. Her version also had a third verse added to it in order to make it seem that the suicidal misery described in the previous two verses was just a bad dream. - There are over 7500 different types of apples. - The element roentgenium was named after the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. Previously, it was known as 'unununium'. - In Turkmenistan, all licensed drivers were required to pass a morality test under the rule of Saparmurat Niyazov. - Tay Zonday's real name is Adam Nyerere Bahner.
