Hey guys, thought id start a thread where we could post all the wierd stuff we know :)

Dont have time so ill just post one thing that is actaully nearly disturbing....

If it was not for the sesamae seeds on KFC'S buger buns, they would be classed as confectionary...due to the large quantatity of sugar in them.
 
So , you are saying this is a fact - provide evidence to back up your claim.

And before anyone posts more "facts' - check out this site : http://www.snopes.com/ to see if your fact is really fact or fiction !
 
lol well im not saying its a fact, but it is a wierd "rumour", my brother was a highly ranked member in the kfc chain and i got my information from him... so i have no evidence i spose just his word.
 
Hahaha...true???

I read somewhere:

* Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
* Cat pee glows under a flurescent light.
* A pig can have an orgasm for half an hour.

I'm not sure if these are true or not - I'm thinking the elephant one is, not too sure about the other two!!!

I think if they are though, most men would probably want to come back as a pig in their next life!!! *jk* :lol:
 
You really should not have started this, I know so many useless facts...
-It takes 120 drops to fill a teaspoon
-The largest asteroid in the asteroid belt is larger than the state of Texas

-Jellyfish are 95% water

- Americans eat on average 18 acres worth of pizza every day.

1) According to law, it is still legal to urinate beside the left-hand side of your horse & cart on a road in Tasmania.

2) Every woman has one breast slighly larger than the other.

3) The gravy from KFC's potato & gravy is actually made from the grease the comes off the chickens. Is then put into a special machine and comes out as gravy.

kangaroos cant hop backwards

a ducks quack doesnt echo

The longest bout of sneezing recorded was by Donna Griffith. It began in January 13 1981 and continued until September 16 1983 and lasted for 978 days. ( and i also got told that a sneeze is something like o.17 of an oragasm :eek: )

Baskin Robbins once made ketchup ice cream. This was the only vegetable flavoured ice cream produced. However, they discontinued it since they thought it would not sell well.

quoted from the link posted by Graham above....
Claim: Coca-Cola was originally green.

Status: False.

Origins: Though this tidbit of knowledge has been widely distributed as part of an Internet "Did You Know?" list, at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green. The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product.

(Brown also hides impurities in any given batch, something the backroom chemist who invented Coca-Cola in 1886 kept well in mind as he proceeded with his formulation. These days syrup producers and bottlers have no impurities to hide, but back in the "three copper kettles in somebody's basement" days, covering up what might have inadvertently dropped into the mix was a concern, and brown hid indiscretions remarkably well.)

Coke has at times been bottled in green glass bottles, which perhaps explains the popularity of this particular rumor.
