No piece of square dry paper can be folded more than 7 times in half
(You know you're going to try anyway...)


Over 2500 left handed people a year are killed from using products made for right handed people
(Just found legal murder weapons...)


Clinophobia is the fear of beds
(That's why Cosmo's Kama Sutra became a best seller...)


The average life span of a major league baseball is 5-7 pitches
(Probably why human balls were designed for slow motion...)


In Natoma, Kansas, it's illegal to throw knives at men wearing striped suits
(It's legal in the rest of the state, or if they're naked in Natoma...)


More people use blue toothbrushes, than red ones
(So liberals really do outnumber conservatives...)


Recycling one glass jar, saves enough energy to watch T.V for 3 hours
(C'mon all you couch potatoes... Switch to bottled beer!)

weird fact:

if you point your two index fingers out parallel to the ground, and lay something long across them like a ruler, or a pencil or something similar, keeping your fingers at the each end of the object, and push your hands towards each other keeping your fingers pointed out, your two fingers will ALWAYS meet exactly at the middle of the object and create a balance point.

Here are some weird laws from my state

  1. In Salem, even married couples are forbidden from sleeping in the nude in rented rooms.
  2. It is illegal to wear a goatee without a license. (Yeah me and Article are in big trouble)
  3. North Andover prohibits its citizens from carrying "space guns".
  4. State legislation forbids dueling with water pistols.
  5. In Boston, it is illegal to take a bath unless one has been ordered by a physician to do so.
  6. In 1659, the state outlawed Christmas.

The exact same thing works if you use your two middle fingers instead of your two index fingers.

VERY weird!
