Nice list, though - very entertaining.

Cheers,

but it's both a color and a fruit, so those 2 must rhyme

Yes isnt a full sentence....good Lorde people

Its still a sentence fragment. A real sentence you should be able to find a subject and a predicate in, without seeing lines before or after it.

eh.....no?
people say bless you because sneezes were originally thought to be spirits trying to fly out your nose or something, and by blessing the person they went back
