Some of them sound like BS. Like those 50yo+ have spent 10% of their lives in lines. I don't think so.

Like I said I just got it in an email and thought I would share. I dont know if they really are all true or not, Im sure if you did some research you could find out.;)

40,000 Americans are injured by toilets each year.

WTF? poor humans..:monkeypis :spam:

Allow me to comment on a few of these:

> 1. Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the
morning. True. They think the chewing motion is more involved and thus wakes the mind up faster.
>
> 2. Alfred Hitchcock didn't have a bellybutton.. How can he have been born w/o an umbilical cord? Innie, outtie, whatever, but he had to be born sometime... :o

> 4. People do not get sick from cold weather, it's from being indoors a lot
> more. Not just from being indoors more, but from being in enclosed spaces with more people for longer periods of time. The germs tend to stick around when in an enclosed space.
>
> 5. When you sneeze, all bodily functions stop even your heart! B.S. flag anyone? that was an old Medieval wive's tale. It's where "God Bless You" came from: Sneezing was a symptom of the Plague, and they thought that blessing you was your only hope.

> 17. The REAL reason ostriches stick their head in the sand is to search
for water. Last I heard, researchers had never once seen an ostrich stick its head in the sand for ANY reason. No one seems to know where this idea came from if it has never been witnessed.

> 21. In most television commercials advertising milk, a mixture of white
> paint and a little thinner is used in place of the milk. Things could have changed, but I recall reading an article where they used watered-down Elmer's glue to replace water, especially in cereal commercials.

It would be entertaining to see about some of those others, though. :)
