millerx Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) In light of my post about "tipping with the penny on top" in the Imus thread, I thought I'd start a new thread with little known facts that others might want to share. I found many at the huddle to be quite wise and insightful (at times) and wanted to see what kind of a collection we could gather. Give me something that you think most people might not have heard or you find interesting. Some many be true, some may be myths, while others...well... I guess we'll find out. To start: Did you know that leaves don't FALL from trees? They are PUSHED off by the tree. This is why you may see a dead limb in winter time still holding its crumpled dead leaves while the rest have been pushed. Edit: They are pushed off so that it will allow the snow or ice to fall through to the ground and not build up on the branch causing it to possibly break from the weight.

detlef Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Did you know that there's some frogs as big as dogs? ETA: Sorry, it's actually a fine idea for a topic but i couldn't think of one off the top of my head, am too jacked up on coffee to not blurt out something regardless of how stupid it may be, and it's been far too long since a frog-dog reference was made here.

MikesVikes Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 What do you mean by "at times?" Where else can you go to get answers for medical questions, how many pieces of toilet paper do you use, computer questions, and which chick is hotter? Like where have you been?

Perchoutofwater Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 1. Did you know that Deer kill more people in North America than sharks, bears, mountain lions, gators and wolves combined. Deer are the deadliest wild animal in North America. This is why we need to kill them, that and they taste god. 2. The fastest way to get drunk is to shove a bottle up your ass and stand on your head. The walls of the colon are extremely thin, so it gets into the blood stream faster, and isn't filtered by the liver. So if you are worried about sclerosis (Twiley) shove that bottle up your ass. Just be careful, as it is easy to get alcohol poisoning this way. 3. The best way to tell if a hooker is really an undercover cop is rather than offering her money for sex, tell her you are an art student or artist and ask her if she is willing to pose nude. A cop won't. A hooker will, and then you get on about your business. Source: Manswers on Spike TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously do not visit the advice forum. Dog-sized frog references are running rampant.
