*No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.
Don't forget color.
*A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.
They disproved that one (sorta) on Mythbusters.
*The average person falls asleep in seven minutes.
Yet more evidence to the fact that I'm not normal.

False, its just a coincidence.
*All of the clocks in the movie "Pulp Fiction" are stuck on
4:20.
False, only the clocks in the pawn shop are. There are two scenes in which clocks show a regular time.

try waking up at 5:30 in the morning, working out all day long, eating heaps of fruit and vegies, and going to bed about 10. If you really have a sleeping problem, you will not be able to get to sleep, but if you don't, you'll be out like a light in 10 minutes, if there is no music around and you stop moving.
I had that problem as well. I can't get to sleep if I've been awake less than 14-16 hours.

In the Bonnie Situation, a clock in the kitchen reads 8:15
In the last coffee house scene, a clock in the restaurant reads 10:00-10:10 (its not clear from the camera angle)
