[quote] You have no sense of smell when you are asleep.[/quote] WRONG, some company is developing a smoke alarm that uses smell to wake people, it's meant to help deaf people.

~90% of those facts are wrong or incorrect.

"An average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime at night." That 'fact' was a hoax, spread around via email just to see if people would believe random things like that. I can no longer trust the content of this thread.

Responce to entire thread: Gosh, really?

Bullshit; the airspeed record is 3530 km/h (set by a SR-71 Blackbird in 1976. [/QUOTE] Actually, I think this one IS correct, although the list can go fuck itself because it's mostly wrong. I think it was one of the X planes that was dropped from a plane at high altitude. It had a huge rocket on it. It's not accepted to be the airspeed record because it's a bit of a farce due to being dropped from a plane. I think it's the X-9 or something, look it up, I may be wrong! [editline]12:30AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Xane;21616817]WRONG, some company is developing a smoke alarm that uses smell to wake people, it's meant to help deaf people.[/QUOTE] Really?

I'm not saying you're wrong because there are so many lies floating around, but could ya provide a source?

[QUOTE=Rzor;21615334] If the population of China walked past you in single file, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.[/QUOTE] Not to be picky, but if they were all walking past you where would they find time for fucking? Not to mention most of these are false.
