Q: What do you know?

Eggs don't bounce

There's no bones in tripe

You can't close a revolving door

A smith and wesson beats four aces.

One hole on my watch band gets all the action.

You can't ride a menstrual cycle.

And chocolate fish don't swim.

Clutch lever wont engage the brake.

Chewing on a battery to get more charge out of it only hurts your teeth.

Leaving a dehumidifier on for over 12 hours is a cruel way to kill all your house plants.

All KB women are NOT all bitches... the others are in fact witches.

Sorry that memo was actually superseded by the “Sail the red tide at your own discretion” memo.

Which brings me to the next thing I know:
The man who sails the red tide is only permitted to use that port for the next week, all other ports during this period will be closed!

Horse floats' don't.

Steam rollers don't roll steam.

"Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.

"Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt".? (Are you doubting this?)

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

The sentence: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)

The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were going to "do" this one.)

There are only four words in the English language which end in "dous": tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. (You're not doubting this, are you?)

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: "abstemious" and "facetious." (Yes, admit it, you are going to say, a e i o u)

TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out)

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.

A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. (Some days that's about what my memory span is.)

A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.

A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.!)

An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.

Babies are born without kneecaps. They don't appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age.

February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.

In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.

If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors

Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!

Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.

The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.

The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.

The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket. (Good thing he did that.)

The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.

There are more chickens than people in the world.

Winston Churchill was born in a ladies' room during a dance.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.

Umm - I'm sure this bit is a myth...as I AND my boy weren't/aren't able to have IOL's implanted in our eyes until we had/have fully grown. Not just down to rejection/infection/immunity factors apparently according to surgeon due also to our "changing eye size and shape" as we grow.
