you think the fact of the amount of people dying from stamps was taken from before the offical introduction of stamps? i think not. and people always concern wether E kills you, not the latter. and there has been research, it would take 40 pills per day for 2 weeks to crate a small amount of dammaged brain cells...

well there was no 'official introduction' of stamps as we know them today.
i think we are both right tho...my point was just that e hasnt been around that long, and since research is lacking, that doesnt mean they are safe. but thats clearly obvious, because nothing is SAFE for you. lets get back to USELESS information...
fact: Bacardi O and Code Red Mountain Dew tastes like orange tic tacs...wait thats useful(dammit)
fact: the stuff i use to style my hair smells like a combination of weed and citrus(and no its not because i smoke THAT much pot, it just does)...peas/ |

I got these from the Moby - Everything is Wrong cd Jacket
It Takes 23 gallons of water to produce a pound of tomatoes, and 5214 gallons to produce a pound of beef
One acre of land can produce 20000 lbs of potatoes, and 165 lbs of beef.
It takes 1 lb of grain to make 1 lb of bread, and 20 lbs of grain to make 1 lb of beef
80% of USDA chicken inspectors no longer eat chicken
If average commuter passenger load in the US were increased by just 1 person a day, it would save 33 millions gallons of gas daily (solution to the Mideast Oil bull)
What greenpeace spends in a year, General Motors spends in 4 hours.
1 tonne of toxic waste is produced in the by the US military every minute
Americans throw out enough Aluminum foil each year to rebuild the entire Air Fleet

9. Some lion species can copulate up to 50 times per day. (I STILL wanna be a pig! It's the quality, not the quantity!)

ummmm... EuropE...
but actually, Europe is NOT a separate continent. same goes for Asia. it's Eurasia, so the fact doesn't actually work out.

I dont think there is a continent called Eurasia... The 7 continents are:
*North America
*South America
*Europe
*Asia
*Africa
*Australia
*Antarctica
so i dont think that fact works out, unless you group north and south america into america.

Yeh i heard when you get stabbed just under your chest plate towards your heart blood spurts out like a "super soaker".. ouch! I think the same goes for some valve in your neck, if you get it slit. :(
Here is a fact, i don't know if its completely true thou:
The Spainish used to use a torture method (or execution method, really) involving puting the victim inside a wooden keg with a hole in the lid for their head, and filling the barrel full of bugs, insects etc (basically decomposers) and just leaving you there for months. When they come back the victims head just lifts off the lid, attached to nothing... :eek: |
