The pain in eyes caused by watching monitor for a while isn't result of radiation or any similar ****, it is because people blink less than usual while their in front of their PCs. No, blinking => eyes get dry and sensitive. So, blink more while you are in front of your PCs ;)

Prairie dogs, those little pups popping in and out of holes on vacant lots and rural rangeland, are talking up a storm. They have different "words" for tall human in yellow shirt, short human in green shirt, coyote, deer, red-tailed hawk and many other creatures.

The Tao of Jeet Kune Do is said to be a compilation of notes written by Bruce Lee during his lifetime. However, only 20% of the book contains Bruce Lee's actual notes while the remaining 80% is random information. The reason for this is due to Bruce Lee's actual notes being only a few pages long (I forget the exact number) - not enough to be made into a book. Further, Bruce Lee's notes were not his in the sense he was the originator. The information found in Bruce Lee's actual notes were copied from other sources, which he did as a means of having references.

Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table, because he only recognizes the element of surprise.

The amount of bacteria living in your intestine exceeds the number of cells your body is made up.

I find this one hard to believe, considering how many cells make up a human body. Not to mention, how are we counting amount?



A railroad tanker car carrying propane traveled over 3,000 feet when it exploded during a train wreck in Illinois, sheering off a steel tower in it's path. It's the longest flight on record for a propane explosion.

Contrary to popular belief, it is physically and anatomically impossible to drive the nose into the brain. The reason for this is that the nose is made out of cartilage, which is softer and weaker than bone, thus easier to break than bone. So, when the nose is being pressed into the skull under the force from a punch or a kick, it is likely to shatter. Further, even if the nose were to enter into the nasal cavity, there's a wall of bone that separates the nasal cavity from the brain cavity that's about an inch or so thick.

Water, if ingested in sufficient quantities in a short enough time, is poisonous to the human body, and can kill you by diluting the electrolytes responsible for keeping your muscles and heart moving.

It also causes your brain to swell, which is fairly lethal.
