So If you know a weird fact or a interesting bit of info that you think others should know or would want to know.... or you just want to point out that you know a load of things then this is the place to share....
If you dont know anything then search the web for something....
I came across these little bits of weird things in an email I got.....
Butterflies taste with their feet.
In 10 minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all the world's nuclear weapons combined.
On average, 100 people choke to death on ballpoint pens every year.
The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building.
The electric chair was invented by a dentist. (That explains alot!)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
If Barbie were life-size, her measurements would be 39-23-33.
She would stand seven feet, two inches tall.
The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
Now weird laws....
In Texas:
It is illegal for children to have unusual haircuts. (That is a crime!)
A recently passed anti-crime laws requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and explain to the nature of the crime about to be comitted. (That sounds fair!)
It is illegal to milk another persons cow.
(I think bush could have had something to do with these! sounds about right! lol)
In Alabama:
In Jasper, it is illegal for a husband to beat his wife with a stick larger in diameter than his thumb.
It is illegal to play Dominos on Sunday.
It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in a church. (That's a good one!)
Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death. (If a trains coming when you're doing it! )
In Arkansas:
A man can legally beat his wife, but not more than once a month.
It is illegal to mispronounce the name of the state of Arkansas. (It's Ark-an-sass right?? :laugh: )
It is illegal for the Arkansas River to raise higher than the Main Street bridge in Little Rock. (River you're under arrest!)
In Fayetteville, it is illegal to kill any living creature, including insects. (bet they walk carefully around there!)
In Little Rock, if a man and a woman flirt with each other in the streets, they could be jailed for 30 days. (We were just talking officer!)
That's it for now but In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger....
"I'll Be Back" :laugh:
