    If barbie was a real person she couldn't stand upright. her boobs ar too big, her back is too strait, and her feet are too small to support her weight. so she would tip forward every time she tried to stand strait and her enkles would snap from the pressure of her weight!

    Stand facing a wall, and bend at the waist until your forehead touches the wall. now grab something heavy with both hands and attempt to stand back up. Men can't do it, women can, because their center of gravity is at the waist, and a mens is in the chest! This is so that women can become pregnant without ruining their back, the baby is at center of gravity!

    If you play "another one bites the dust" backwards it say "it's fun to smoke marijuana" over and over.

    If you feed alkaseltzer to a bird, it explodes. the stomach can't contain the pressure.

    Coca Cola concentrate, when being transported in the tankers, has to have the highest class of toxic chemical warning stamped on it.

    On average, you are never more than three feet away from a spider.

    According to the USDA, every bottle of ketchup is permitted to have 8 insect legs inside of it without being declared in-edible. Texas pete is allowed a half cockroach (these both are chopped up and liquified, so you won't actually FIND a leg or roach in your sauce. but you'll be eating it ANYWAY! mwuha!)

    If santa claus existed, assuming that he only visits christian homes, and only half of those children are on the nice list, and also that he travels at a speed that would allow him to visit every home, with two children per home and a fraction of a second per stop to land, drop presents, and get back in the sleigh, he would burst into flames in less than a quarter of a second from friction due to air and be completely cremated in less than a second. merry christmas!

    Dogs sweat through their feet only.

    Dogs have both a summer and winter coat. They don't simply grow extra fur and then dump it again after winter. They actually produce two seperate coats for summer and winter, which is why they shed so darn much.

    "Dog breath" is not normal--it is bacteria causing the odor. Take your dog to the vet to get his teeth brushed.

    Lightning can, in fact, strike the same place multiple times.

    The ancient Egyptians, when calculating the sides of the base of a pyramid, were inaccurate by only a fraction of an inch, despite having no tape measures.
    I am alive I will never run away Places inside My heart screams inside with pride Once I cried Now I wipe away the tears Once I died Now I'm alive

    And we sneak a call And we're like thieves I love the times like these Just don't say goodbye Just won't you please I'm trying to do the right thing

    All my life I was in the cold Now I find I feel nothing more Leave me to learn Leave me to hurt Now I'm not so invincible
