I've tried the paper folding experiment, and it's true! But the turtle-butt-breathing thing...guess I'll leave such "research" to those more highly qualified than myself...

If pearl melts in vinegar, maybe we can just make our own pearl cream by melting it in vinegar first and then adding it to some base cream?   |

This list must be dated. I think there are a few inaccuracies. I don't think Marboro is one of the top 3 companies anymore.
The one about not hearing a duck's quack echoing reminds me of: "If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?" |

Ok BBK, I assume you were kidding, cause I obviously am, do not try this, you just will end up with no pearls, from what I've read they crush real pearls (not dissolve) to make skin care stuff. |

ok - a wee lil bit Ot - but couldn't help myself - I Googled - Death by Donkey and this is what I got!
Donkey Responsible for Bishop's Death
A Texan preacher wanted to raise some money for his church; hearing that there was a lot of money in horse racing, he decided to purchase a horse. However, horses proved to be too expensive for his small budget, so he ended up buying a donkey instead. Figuring he had nothing to lose, the preacher decided to enter the donkey in the horse race, in which, to his astonishment, the donkey came in second place! The next day's headlines in the Daily Racing Form read:
PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS
Encouraged by the donkey's strong beginning, the preacher entered the donkey in the races again. This time the donkey won, inspiring the headline,
PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT
Meanwhile, the bishop had gotten word of these outrageous headlines and decided that this kind of publicity was not good for his parish. So, he ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey in any more races. Next day the headlines read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS
Needless to say, the bishop was not pleased with this, so he told the preacher to get rid of the donkey. The preacher obliged, giving it to a convent. The headlines following this read:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN
Well, this made the bishop angrier than ever, and he ordered the Mother Superior at the convent to sell the animal. She sold it to a farmer for $10. The headlines proclaimed:
NUN PEDDLES ASS FOR TEN BUCKS
The bishop died upon reading this headline. The day after his death, the headlines read:
TOO MUCH ASS RESPONSIBLE FOR BISHOP'S DEATH
Doba, please forgive my outburst, and now back to your regularly scheduled thread....

I have to say I tried the paper folding thing also  But there's one more such 'news' I've heard before: that no one's tongue can reach their elbows?
And the funny thing was that I read that in an email and at the end of the email was this line that went: And 9 out of 10 of the people reading this email will try to get their tongues to reach their elbows
I admit: I was one of the 9 people back then  |

I think we probably all ended up trying that!
I can reach the inside of my elbow, but am an inch out when trying to reach the outside. (Due to flexibility and short arms, rather than long tongue! ) |
