For those who thought they knew everything..

Here is a refresher course.
  • The liquid inside young coconuts can be used as a substitute for Blood plasma.
  • No piece of paper can be folded in half more than seven times.
  • Donkeys kill more people annually than plane crashes.
  • You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching television.
  • Oak trees do not produce acorns until they are fifty years of age or older.
  • The first product to have a bar code was Wrigley's gum.
  • The King of Hearts is the only king WITHOUT A MOUSTACHE
  • American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first-class.
  • Venus is the only planet that rotates clockwise. (Since Venus is normally associated with women, what does this tell you!)
  • Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.
  • Most dust particles in your house are made from DEAD SKIN!
  • The first owner of the Marlboro Company died of lung cancer. So did the first "Marlboro Man."
  • Walt Disney was afraid OF MICE!
  • PEARLS MELT IN VINEGAR!
  • The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca Cola, and Budweiser, in that order.
  • It is possible to lead a cow upstairs... but, not downstairs.
  • A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why.
  • Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least six (6) feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush. (I keep my toothbrush in the living room now!)
  • And the best for last.....
    Turtles can breathe through their butts.
    (I know some people like that, don't YOU?)
Hat tip to SAS Andrew. Thanks bud.

I wonder if the "fold no more than 7 times" theory applies to other foldables like a piece of fabric or a sheet of aluminum foil.
