« on: July 15, 2010, 09:07:25 AM »
Rules are simple:

Put down any useless information you may know

No duplicates
Have Fun

I'll start::

Did you know Apollo 11 had only twenty seconds of fuel left when it landed?

*The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue.*
*People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because in medieval times people thought it was your body trying to push out an evil spirit/soul.*
*If you sneeze too hard, you can fracture a rib. If you try to suppress a sneeze, you can rupture a blood vessel in your head or neck and die.*
