U did try, didn't ya!!??

HerRoyalBadness said:

I know this.

Are you sure about the Mariyln Monroe having six toes thing? I'm pretty sure pics exist of her wearing open toed shoes...Where did you get these facts? (just wondering...)

AprilMichelle said:

Yeah, I don't believe the eyeball one.
Imagine a newborn baby with giant eyeballs the size of an adult. I'm pretty sure they are smaller when they are born because obviously their skulls and eye sockets are tiny.

HerRoyalBadness said:

yep...and mel blanc (voice of bugs bunny and almost all of the warner bros. characters) wuz allergic 2 carrots.

AprilMichelle said:

These facts are 100% truth

I don't know where they come from, but believe me, everything IS actually true

HerRoyalBadness said:

Not to be bitchy, but if you are unsure about the source, why are you certain they're true?

HerRoyalBadness said:

I went to Indiana University. I even lived across the street from that very building. And it's not sinking. Here's the scoop directly from the source:

http://www.indiana.edu/~l...bsink.html

In a nutshell, the library can't sink because it rests on bedrock that's nearly 100 feet thick.

No, I'm still holding some resentment for having monkey poop flung on me at the San Francisco zoo after the '89 earthquake.
