Turns out Lukyas lied. SURPRISE.

 

[Mr.Lukyas]

w00t? I read that in magazine :X rly
EDIT: aha, ok, I appologize, BTW it is Consent

All that stuff about Fornication Under Consent of the King is false. It's just an urban legend. Acronyms didn't really come in use until the 20th century. Check out the articles on wikipedia, snopes, or just google "etymology of f**k."

A person remains conscious for eight seconds after being decapitated.

This theory was actually tested by the man who invented the guillotine. He was a scientist and was sentenced to death by his own contraption. He had his assistant sit in the crowd and watch for how long the man continued to blink after his head was cut off. That's dedication to science

Shaolin Kung Fu was developed as a means of providing Buddhist monks with a form of exercise and a means of defending themselves against bandits and robbers.

It's a common misconception that the Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma, invented the Martial Arts. However, Chinese Martial Arts as well as Indian Martial Arts have existed before Bodhidharma.

Buddha wasn't overweight. The individual commonly confused as being Buddha is actually Budai.

Buddha has two meanings. The first being "Awaken One", which is someone who has obtained enlightenment and Gautama Buddha (who reached enlightenment, thus obtained the title of "Buddha"), an individual who's teachings became the foundation for Buddhism.
