Things to ponder...
	Can you cry under water? How  important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated  instead of just murdered? Why  do you have to "put your two cents in".. but it's only a "penny for your  thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? (however, one should never end a sentence with a  preposition) Once  you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for  eternity? Why  does a round pizza come in a square box? What  disease did cured ham actually have? How  is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good  idea to put wheels on luggage? Why  is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every  two hours? Why  are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?  Why  do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look  at things on the ground? Why  do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked  anyway. Why  is "bra" singular and "panties" plural? Why  do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp,  which no decent human being would eat? Can  a hearse carrying a  corpse drive in  the carpool  lane  ? If  the professor on Gilligan's Island  can  make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?  Why  does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!   If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he  just buy dinner? If  corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is  baby oil made from? If  electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?  Do  the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?  Why  did you just try singing the two songs above? Why  do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a  hemorrhoid when it's in your butt? Some new stuff...for the list "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand and "lollipop" with your right. (Bet you tried this out mentally, didn't you?) No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. "Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "MT".  (Are you doubting this?) Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?) The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one) There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.   (You're not doubting this, are you?) There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious." (Yes, admit it, you are going to say, a e I o u.) TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out.) A cat has 32 muscles in each ear. A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds.  (Some days that's about what my memory span is.) A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second. A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.) Almonds are a member of the peach family. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. Babies are born w ithout kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age. February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon. In the last 4,000 years, no new species of animals have been domesticated. If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction. Leonardo DaVinci invented the scissors. Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite! Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated. The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing. The cruise liner, QE2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns. The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. (Good thing he did that.) The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid. There are more chickens than people in the world. Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. Now you know almost everything!
