The inventor of the flushing toilet was Thomas Crapper. 
Now I could be wrong. But the word hooker was never associated with "working women" until the american civil war when a lieutenant Joseph Hooker would bring women from the local "cat house" to his troops before a major battle to improve morale.
And his troops soon called them "Hookers women" and then just hookers.
(now this could just be a myth...but its what I heard watching something about the american civil war)

It is impossible to lick your elbow.
i know someone who claims to be able to suck his own... *ahem*
strangely, no-one has yet asked him to prove it
 
Marylin manson can do that too. He had a few ribs removed so he can...
Actually, that too is a myth. He also never performed fellatio on a 12 year old kid on stage(nor an adult afaik).
There are quite a few myths about mr Manson flowing around, most of which are pretty ridicoulus. Though, he probably only gained popularity through that, a freak show always seem to sell. :)
But Ron Jeremy could suck his own ****, since it was, well, long! I don't think he can do it anymore though, he probably isn't as agile. 
Hve you ever seen ron jeremy naked...he is a fat litte man, i doubt he could press that gut of his down to seize so he could actually bend that much over

2 eve facts
A muninn has 92.2% base EM resistance ( = sick )
But it gets more sick if you try and fit 5 em hardeners when your bored.
92.5 base = 7.5 of 55%
4,125 = 1 em hardener II
96,625 = 3.375 of 55%
1,85625 = 2 em hardener II
98,48125 = 1,51875 of 55%
0,8353125 = 3em hardener II
99,317 = 0,683 of 55%
0,37565 = 4em hardener II
99,69265 = 0,307 of 55%
0,16885 = 5em hardener II
99,8615 % em resistance
99.8615% resistance.. thats pretty sick.. but what if you try 5 of the best EM hardeners ingame?
92.5 base = 7.5 of 64%
4,8 = 1 core x-type EM hardener
97,3 = 2.7 of 64%
1,728 = 2 core x-type EM hardener's
99,028 = 0,972 of 64%
0,62208 = 3 core x-type EM hardener's
99,65 = 0,35 of 64%
0,224 = 4 core x-type EM hardener's
99,874 = 0,126 of 64%
0,08064 = 5 core x-type EM hardener's
99,95464 % em resistance
99.95464% resistance.. a polaris shuttle has 99.9.. so thats better resistance then the devs have .
Just imagine 200 sniping PIE battleships with radio ( EM only ) shooting it.
You Tachyon beam laser II places a perfect strike on Lanu[Muninn], wrecking it for 0.1 damage.
ps : I have just done this with ingame calculator + notepad so if something is wrong with these facts blaim me 
edit-
Found the first error already.. devs have 99.9999 and not 99.9

yup, he started the Nobel Peace Prize because he realized what nitroglycerin could do. He also invented TNT by the way, which is the same in an absorbant rock.
fact: It's very unlikely that you get hit by lightning. It's even more unlikely that you get hit by lightning 2 times and live to tell the tale. The current world record stands at 7 times.

"This data" is incorrect, the correct useage would be "these data".

The San Andreas fault, which runs north-south, is slipping at a rate of about 2 inches (5 centimeters) per year, causing Los Angeles to move towards San Francisco. Scientists forecast LA will be a suburb of the City by the Bay in about 15 million years.

He also invented Smokeless gunpowdered. The reason he made the Nobel Peace Prize was actually because of it too. When he was getting older in life, his brother died and the paper mistook him and his brother, and published his obituary. In it, they said he was a man who ushered in a new age of killing and violence since TNT, Nitroglycerine, and especially Smokeless Gunpowder had military applications. On seeing that, he took most of his considerable savings and started the Nobel Prize in an attempt to do one last effort of goodwill towards mankind.

Interesting laws In Newfoundland, Canada (all these laws are from way-back-when);
You can only drink alcoholic beverages in your kitchen
Your not allowed to spit in public (terburculosis)
interesting town names here;
D.ildo, Newfoundland (swear filters)
Spread Eagle, Newfoundland
Come-By-Chance, Newfoundland (you can't make this stuff up)
Hibbs Hole and Joe Batts Arm*
*There is a little bit of comedy behind these last two. they are both on the same highway and it is said that when asked how to get to "Joe Batts Arm" the only reasonable reply is "Go up Hibbs Hole and around the corner", or "Half way up Hibbs Hole and turn left".
thats what happens when your towns are named by sailors and pirates.

The next time any of you American players pass through Yellowstone National Park. Spare a thought to what is underneath your feet. WHEN it erupts, the regions of Northern America will have a very hard time :(

For everyone born this generation, they can count off each set of ancestors as a binary function. If you take that on average people reproduce at at age 20 as a mean, you can only go back approx. 30 generations before you hit the 1450-1500AD mark. At this period, the total global population of only half a billion or so intersects with the curve of binary parentage.
Cousin, either way you look at it, you are the end product of a whole lot of fun.

Technically, a rather large percentage of all men that have ever existed have never died. Between 10% and 50%, depending on estimates.

The word "Cop" comes from Constable On Patrol.
hmmm didn't read this before. My mind must be slipping.
That fact isn't true. The word "cop" comes from the 1900's alternative "copper". "to cop" was, in those days, the word for arresting someone. It was slang back then, and you were charged for insult if you used the word "copper"
