...that your height is equal to your armspan (stretch out your arms)?

Ideal, why do you have me over here doing all kinds of calisthetics trying to see if what you've written is true? These are little bits of trivia that I really didn't quite know. Thank ya!

>>>when I think of some trivia bits, I'll post them as well!

Also, did you know that when you sneeze, your heart stops?! I have ALWAYS been afraid of having sneezing fits because of that.

Is that why those doctors were glad MLK, Jr. did not sneeze that time that crazy woman stabbed him with scissors??

That's why people say "God Bless You" after you sneeze because you were "dead" and now your "alive" again. That's what my Granny told me.

Porpoises are not fish, they are mammals. A dolphin is a fish and the shape of its snout is different than a porpoise. That is how you can tell the two apart.

2- When storing food, in order not to stain plastic bowls and plates w/ spaghetti sauce or other "staining foods," spray it with Pam before you put the food in it.

I sure needed to know this one! I've always used the same bowl for storing spaghetti sauce because I didn't want all of them to have that reddish stain. You done hooked a sistah up! (Sorry for the grammar. LOL)

I measured my foot too--and it's true!! But, this is coming from the same person that looked at her stapler to see if it looked like a happy face (it does!!)...

Anyway, did you know that we humans pass gas supposedly 30 times per day!!!

I have endless amounts of random trivia stored in my head, but it's so hard to produce some of it on demand. It just has to come up in the normal course of conversation, but I have been trying to remember some of it.

---Napolean did not shoot the nose off of the Sphinx. It was reported missing by an Arab historian almost 400 years before Napolean was even born

---The average American knows more about their car and their body's sexual functions

---A person at a healthy weight has between 30 and 40 billion fat cells.

---When you lose weight, your fat cells shrink but they never go away. That's why lipo-suction keeps you from gaining weight in the same place because those cells are removed

---When your black pants get kind of "ashy," if you spray oil sheen on them and rub it in, they'll be as good as new

---Denture tablets (polident, efferdent) will keep your toilet clean

---In warm weather, spray your perfume on your clothin and not your skin because your sweat will interact with chemicals and cause a totally different scent

---Homemade deep conditioning treatment for hair: mix ample amount of mayonaisse with two eggs. Cover hair with plastic cap and place a warm towel on it for deep penetration. DO NOT sit under a dryer or you will have baked egg in your hair.

---For a perfect trim, comb hair away from your head at a 90 degree angle. The ends that you can see through are those that need to be trimmed

---To thicken soups and stews, add instant mashed potato flakes. It works just as good as flour but there are no lumps

Porpoises and dolphins BEAKS are different, as well as their fins. BUT they are both mammals. Dolphins have hair, have live births (not eggs), and their young nurse on the mother's milk.

Killer Whales or Orcas are actually members of the dolphin family!

This is a GOOD one!!!

Did you know:

You should never get your hair cut with your legs crossed. It causes an uneven cut.

Tupac's real name was Lesane Parish Crooks and his mother's name is Alice Fay Walker.

Preparation H can reduce puffiness around the eyes.

Running cold water on freshly polished nails causes it to dry faster.

Applying cuticle oil or oil sheen on freshly polished nails causes it to dry faster also. Make sure the oil sheen doesn't contain alcohol, or it will produce a dulling film on your polish.

Did you know that vultures can eat ANYTHING? They can eat disease infested carcasses, even anthrax infested. And they don't get any of the diseases!! Something in the acid in their stomach kills it all. And their feces show NO TRACES of the disease. Isn't that amazing? Doesn't that make you wonder if they can use the stomach acid of vultures to cure diseases? And have they tried it?

Now, that I did not know ! ! ! !

Did he and his mother convert to practicing Islam?? Is that why they changed their names?

This IS a good thread.

Did you know:

1. That most men are color blind?

2. That you can get the erosion off of batteries by pouring Coke or Pepsi on it. The acid from the soda removes it?

3. Rubbing alcohol is the PERFECT window and glass cleaner? (And this is a fact).

4. One way that some people (like those in the desert or in other extremely hot places) stay warm at night (because it gets cold at night in the desert) is by covering themselves with sand?

5. That sheep (females) sex organs (aka: vaginas) are very similar to the human female's vagina?

There are more, but I just can't think right now. But here's just ONE more: Did you know...

THAT I'VE GOT TO GO TO WORK NOW BECAUSE I'VE GOT A MEETING AT 10:00am?

Be back with more later.
