You should change the thread title to "facts I don't know" because most of those facts are quite well known by anyone who's been online a year or more.

4 . The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.

No wayyy

amazing list :) A lot of them are already known, but there are really nice ones too.... and no i am not going to try to lick my elbow, I already got owned on this one :)

Bump.... thanks Shakespeare

Cute, but not totally accurate.

False.
http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/green.asp

False. I'm pretty sure [N]orth Americ[a], and [S]outh Americ[a] are the actual names of 2 of the continents.

False. The tongue is made up of sixteen muscles... not one. In brute strength, the masseter of the jaw is the strongest.... in distance, it's the heart.


And those are just 3 in the first 4. Glancing through, I'm not sure if others are false or true... but if batting .250 on the first 4 of the list is indicative of the rest, I'd say I'm sure there are others that don't hold water.

Sorry to spoil the fun... but I'd rather spread knowledge as opposed to disinformation.

Might be a good idea to check your sources and do the same next time, too.

:2 cents:

Those were pretty interesting facts

they were fun to read.

10. People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you Sneeze, your heart stops for a millisecond.

13. If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to Suppress a sneeze; you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.



Now I'm scared to sneeze, but also too scared to not sneeze:(:(:(

smarty pants!! haha

and yes i tried to like my elbow, i thought today might be the day i could do it!! i was wrong. haha

:1orglaugh!

Fun read, thanks!

Interesting read.

ANorth America and ASouth America, who the fuck ever knew.

10. is completely wrong too...

some bad facts you have there.

yeah, i read it somewhere that it was the jaw muscle

The most commonly used vowel is the letter I.

interesting list of facts there, thanks!

Pretty much all of them are not true.

Any urban legend site will show you.

:2 cents:

You got me there ......

EEWWWWW no wayyy!

The unexplained statement that "the tongue is the strongest muscle in the body" appears frequently in lists of surprising facts, but it is difficult to find any definition of "strength" that would make this statement true. Note that the tongue consists of sixteen muscles, not one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle

at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green.

http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/green.asp

I knew a lot of this

10 is also wrong, it started because of a belief that you could sneeze out your soul

haha, i didn't try to lick my elbow. :)

I gotta dispute 11 too, unless it's a range of vision issue pigs can look up.

My friend Christian has a Pig named Tex:
