False!

Yeah, I didn't know that either. I'm glad I've never smoked.

Some of those are scary!

Particularly #12, I mean, how ?

And I would question #2. He may have had an operation at some point in his life during which his belly button was removed, but he must have started off life with one (unless we are to assume that he free-floated in the womb using the umbilical when he needed it, like an aqualung). Traditionally it's said that the only person who may not have had a belly button was Adam (think about it), which is why in all biblical paintings featuring him, that portion of his midriff is always obscured (My pointless piece of trivia for the day).

4. People do not get sick from cold weather; it's from being indoors a

lot more.


i know this is true, could tell u why too but then I' sound even more boring than usual

oooh, i knew this one! my best friend's boyfriend worked on the "got milk?" magazine ads and he broke down the fake milk mixture for me.
