Micheal Dietrich Cynical Cartel	Posted - 2007.11.08 16:18:00 - [32] Originally by: Kibbler Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Originally by: ry ry Quote: t is impossible to lick your elbow. i can lick my elbow. Better fraps that. Wait. Why are licking your elbow? Had a friend that could do it in highschool. True story. The only way I could picture it is if you have a pretty long neck and tongue. Or freakishly short arms. And I thought about the shoulder dislocation thing but I would think the pain would be unbearable just to prove a point of being able to lick your elbow. ___________________________ Never Forget, Never Forgive

Camric Black Caldari Gods Killing Machines VENOM Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.08 20:28:00 - [34] Around 1200 people die each year playing Twister. (Kids today don't know what the hell twister is, so obviously that number has fallen.)
Sqalevon Masuat'aa Matari	Posted - 2007.11.08 21:08:00 - [35] I once read some animal trivia, and it also said that when ants die, they always fall on their left ( or right, anyway it's consistently the same side ) I can't find it anymore, but I thought it was intresting :)

Liu Kaskakka PAK	Posted - 2007.11.08 23:13:00 - [39] Originally by: Derovius Vaden Instead of a birthday cake, many children in Russia are given a birthday pie. In Soviet Russia, a cake gives birth. King Liu is RIGHT!!

You know, they gave a sign wether the victim in the arena shall die or not. Thumbs up was death, thumbs down was live. the opposite of what we would think Yay, someone else who knows about this. It's really hard convincing people how it really was. Originally by: Karen Serasia Because some idiot decided to sell an internet connection to me and didn't think of the consequences.
Dheorl Rionnag Alba Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.11.09 12:12:00 - [41] Some of the stuff in here is absolute crap. Anyways, it's a well known fact that about 50% of all stats are made up on the spot.
Amarria Black Clan Anthraxx	Posted - 2007.11.09 12:19:00 - [42] Wait, most important fact so far: Jimmy's gone?!?!? I'm gonna miss that tinfoil hat wearing SOB.
Strife Phoenix Acerbus Vindictum Nex Super Vos	Posted - 2007.11.09 13:07:00 - [43] Edited by: Strife Phoenix on 09/11/2007 13:07:41 This thread lacks one fact: By the time a human can detect the smell of ***** (human "waste" is not allowed on these forums), they have already inhaled approximately 26.84 million airborne pathogens originating from that excrement. I guess you lot will think again before breathing through your mouth when entering a toilet after someone else.. :D Acerbus-Vindictum - Revelare Pecunia!

King Liu is RIGHT!!
Culmen Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.11.09 15:25:00 - [45] Originally by: Micheal Dietrich If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes. this is only 3/5ths of the entire fact lets reveiw No legs off the ground Person died of natural causes One leg off the ground Person died of result of battle wounds Two legs off the ground Person died in battle Three legs off the ground Person died as a result of tragic circus accident Four legs off the ground Person was abducted by aliens _____________________________________________________ Why do i even need a sig?

Korannon Razor Technologies	Posted - 2007.11.09 18:03:00 - [49] Originally by: Stephen HB Originally by: Micheal Dietrich Q. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "A"? A. One thousand One hundred and one. Technically, that's two numbers, "one hundred" and "one". The 'proper' (i.e. that way no one ever does it) is to say "one hundred one" which feels weird, but is no different than say ing "twenty one" or "one hundred thirty".

No one says "one hundred thirty", thats always said with an "and" in it as well. I think its probably just because "dred" isn't a very flowing end to a word, unlike for example something along the lines of "ty"

Thus pointing down was pointing to the way out. So many interpretations... but yes it was a thumb to the chest motion to kill them. ----- "Why can't you just be friends?" -- Oveur
