Bits of random facts

the number four connects to "death" (secondary word meaning)

for this reason, no 4th floor sometimes, no four thousand yen.

"nine" means "suffering" secondary.
"999" worse than "666" (number of the beast).
in 1666, there was a fire in london, and it might scare british people.

here a list:
4,9,13 40,44,99 144 (12*12) 444,999 4000 2999,3999 etc.

now i have given illustration why prices are 39,98 most likely.
it lets people believe, that the price would be "thirty". conspiration theory of course.

good numbers: 3,5,8,10,12,1000,5000

Elevators and floors in older building were never labeled 13.
Went from 12 straight to 14.
Too scary otherwise! :rolleyes2:

This is the correct spelling for "definitely," not "definately." ;)

Recent research indicates that the number of the beast was actually 616 :metaldevil::metaldevil::metaldevil:

if a cat's nose is wet then it is healthy, but if it's dry then it gets fever.

i'm not sure whether this fact is reliable but i tried it on my cats. it's kind of true.

Actually, it has to do with the acidity in the milk. See, the acidity of milk is not strong but it is strong enough to neutralize the heat from the chili. Now if any of us are in "who wants to be a milionaire" we better come out of that show with a one million dollar check. All these random facts will probably help us out. Then again I think we will be entitled to some of that million LOL :hehe:

running over a squirrel and having it's head lodged between your catalytic converter and car chassis is a BAD THING.

Radiator riddled with bullet holes? Adding a raw egg will help seal them.

I hear ya'. Last night I went out drinking with a couple of friends and since I was the one who could actually stand up on her own I was chosen to drive everyone back home. When I am sober I tend not to see people when I am driving so I always have to step on the brake suddenly in order to stop myself from hitting someone that I didn't see. But yesterday there were a lot of people walking around at night and I didn't have to brake hard at all. makes ya think doesnt it :hehe:

Most insects bounce off your car's windshield... that is, until you pass 60mph, then they splatter.

if you can lick your own nose, you should be able to...

twist your arm inwards towards your chest and pull it towards your chest, like you would do if you had dislocated your shoulder.

stick your tongue out and you should be able to do it.

Dont try bending your elbow and craning your neck.


(oh, it helps that i can dislocate my shoulder anytime i want.)
