i thought mythbusters proved that goldfish have more than a 3 second memory...of course it didn't involve any expolsives so it might be wrong

the old $5's had 26 states on the Lincoln Monument...saw that on TLC a while back...did they change it?

The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.

ok this seems to be the dumbed down version of the story. I mean think about it, a guy is walking in front of a massive microwave, prolly the size of a full size backyard satelite dish, do you really think all that happened was the chocolate bar melted? No the guy was covered with 3rd degree burns or even died from it.

That would be quite the trick. Walk and reproduce.
