[U]Goldfish have a 6 second memory[/U] Nope. That's the stupidest thing since stupid was made. If golfish can only remember the last 6 seconds, how do they know how to breed and eat and shit and swim? How do they know not to go to the surface unless food is being served? Give the goldfish some credit.

I have never heard that bottled water one in my entire life.

I always thought people yawned when they weren't breathing very deeply. As yawning would get more oxygen in and more carbon dioxide out, like a big flush out of your lungs.
You don't really "just use 10% of your brain". All of it is used.

Here's another one for you. [U]Jesus was a skinny white man.[/U] First of all, do not rage out on me. I am not anti-christian or a bible basher or whatever other cute name you think can describe me in two words. This is just to correct what you might think about Jesus' Christs image - the recognisable white face with long brown hair and matching beard, coupled with a skinny figure. The facts we know about Jesus, if he existed, are described in the bible. The two most common are that he lived in the middle east, and that he was a carpenter. Now, if he lived in the middle east, that would mean he would look, you know, middle eastern. Given what people looked like at the time, he typically would have had tanned skin and black hair. The reason he's pictured as white is because when pictures of him were drawn in Europe, he was figured to look like what most people knew the master race to look like. He has also been depicted as asian in China and South American in Brazil. The other major fact is that he was a carpenter. Think about a carpenter's job for a second - it requires much, much physical labour. A very skinny man couldn't/wouldn't be a carpenter - he would grow muscles. Along with this, long hair would be a serious working hazard, even without power tools. It would constantly get in your way and obstruct your vision if leaning over something. Now then. Please make there be more than 3 people posting content.
I thought you yawned because when you are tired, you are not breathing efficiently, so the yawn makes you take a deep breath of Oxygen and exhale a lot of Carbon-Dioxide
I yawned when i read about that yawning part. But, i never did believe the spider shit one.
[QUOTE=FuhFuhFresh;24018960] [U]Tap Water is Dirtier than Bottled Water.[/U] You've probably heard this dozens of times from your family and friends, something along the lines of "You don't need to drink from the tap, there's bottled water in the fridge. It's cleaner." But the big point they're missing is that the bottled water was not in fact collected from a mountain spring in some far off mystical land like the label might have you believe. It was still mass produced in a factory setting by stone cold machines, then stored in a warehouse and eventually sent out to stores by diesel trucks. By Comparison, the water from your tap was collected from a local water source and purified, and paid for with your tax money and water bills. If the tap water was dirtier, why would the city even bother trying to compete with bottled water companies?[/QUOTE] Not true. I have to use a water filter if I want any water from the tap - and I live in an urbanised area, not the middle of nowhere, so the water [i]should[/i] be clean. It isn't. You should see the crap that builds up in the filter.
[b]Daddy long legs[/b] They are not the moist poisonous insect in the world. They do not even have venom producing organs. They are also sociable unlike spiders.
[QUOTE=Inafinus :3;24020913][b]Daddy long legs[/b] They are not the moist poisonous insect in the world. They do not even have venom producing organs. They are also sociable unlike spiders.[/QUOTE] As far as I know, they can't bite you either.
[QUOTE=Inafinus :3;24020913][B]Daddy long legs[/B] They are not the moist poisonous insect in the world. They do not even have venom producing organs. They are also sociable unlike spiders.[/QUOTE] Who thought they had venom? I was never afriad of DLL. They look scary, but they're pretty cool to mess with :v:
[QUOTE=Llivavin;24019497]I thought you yawned to help get rid of excess heat faster in your head. I might be hugely mistaken though.[/QUOTE] I thought it was because your brain didn't get enough oxygen. Like when you're so tired your breathing slows down too much, so you yawn to get in the amount of oxygen needed. I might be [B]Hugely[/B] mistaken though.
I'm surprised nobody has commented on the Jesus one I put up on the last page.
[QUOTE=FuhFuhFresh;24020998]I'm surprised nobody has commented on the Jesus one I put up on the last page.[/QUOTE] We are not Jesus-Loving people around here.
itt i thought yawning was because x how about before you tell us your theory of yawning you first ask yourself, does your theory explain the social meaning of yawning (there's one, since everyone knows it's contagious)
I've always been told that bottled water isn't even good enough quality to be distributed as tap water. Edit: A guy from the local water plant said this: "If our water reaches such a low quality as the bottled water, we have to shut down the pumps", I live in Denmark.
[QUOTE=BuG;24021045]I've always been told that bottled water isn't even good enough quality to be distributed as tap water.[/QUOTE] In the UK at least, it goes through a few checks to basically make sure it's drinkable, compared to the hundreds that tap water does.

[QUOTE=BuG;24021045]I've always been told that bottled water isn't even good enough quality to be distributed as tap water.[/QUOTE] that entirely depends on the quality of tap water and the health regulations in the country there are massive differences between these inside the EU and even inside European countries
[QUOTE=Viephemeral;24021118]Am I the only one that facepalmed at this post?[/QUOTE] I didn't facepalm. I thought of a way to counter it. Here's what I came up with: Most animals biologically know how to do vital things. They know to move towards food and how to make babies. Humans lost much of this ability as we don't grow the way we used to. We used to live in forests and just sort of understood the concept of boning people to make more people. Now babies are raised in environments where they are constantly told the alphabet and animals in bright and colourful environments.

[QUOTE=Stopper;24021271]Just one mistake there. There weren't any power tools back then :v:[/QUOTE] I was pointing out that even the lack of power tools still left long hair as a massive working hazard if you're a carpenter. Thanks for pointing out that I didn't explain it clearly enough though.

bottled water tastes better anyway

Thanks for pointing out that I didn't explain it clearly enough though.[/QUOTE] I get your point, that it would've been in the way even if he used a hammer and chisel, it's just the word "power" tools that caught my attention. You explained it pretty damn well. I should probably contribute now.
