Facts....
1. Barbie's full name is Barbara Milicent Roberts.
Correct. Stated by Mattel
2. It is impossible to lick your elbow.
Correct. Unless you have an unusually long neck the distance from mouth to shoulder is shorter than shoulder to elbow

5. People say "Bless you" when you sneeze because when you
sneeze,you're heart stops for a mili-second.
Wrong. This use of "bless you" goes back to the days of the plague. A cough was the firsat symptom of plague, hence "God Bless You" because it was likely that the sufferer would die
6. In a study of 200,000 ostriches over a period of 80 years, no one
reported a single case where an ostrich buried its head in the sand (or
attempted to do so).
Almost correct, though the statistics are made up. "Contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand. If a predator threatens their nest, ostriches will lay their head against the sand to try to blend in with it.
"
7. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
False, Just climb up on the rail of a pig sty at feeding time to disprove this one
12. More than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received
a telephone call.Obvious. More than 50% of the people in the world do not have access to a phone.
15. 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. If you keep your eyes open by force, they will pop out.
If you hold your breath while counting to 3599 you will die

17. Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in
your ear by 700 times.
False. Even the fastest multiplying bacteria only divide their chromosomes once in 30 minutes. So the increase in one hour is not more than 4 times
18. If the government has no knowledge of aliens, then why does Title
14, Section 1211 of the Code of Federal Regulations, implemented on July
16, 1969, make it illegal for U.S. citizens to have any contact with
extraterrestrials or their vehicles?
19. In every episode of Seinfeld there is a Superman somewhere.
20. The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.
BS.Early model cigarette lighters were built on the metal match concept. A metal rod sat inside the container of fuel and absorbed some of it. When fire was required the "match" was removed and lit by striking. This kept the flame well away from the fuel reservoir.
21. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating
are already married.
67% of all statistics are made up. 99% of statisitics in this thread are made up
22. A duck's quack doesn't echo anywhere, and no one knows why.
Debunked many times. All sound waves can echo

Too many here to debunk them all.

I have a playboy one! The wick in the match part is a bit frail these days, and the container never holds enough liquid.
