Does the space shuttle explode once brought into contact with air? Plus, if it were to do anything, it would implode, not explode.Adams_BJ wrote:

I'm pretty sure space has no smell, actually. If it did, it would be impossible to prove since we can't actually smell space. If you were to put space into a jar, then open it and try to smell it, you'd only be smelling air that would be sucked into the jar once opened.

Facts about religion :
In 1631, two London bible printers accidentally left the word "not" out of the seventh commandment, which then read, "Thou shalt commit adultery." This legendary book is now known as the "Wicked Bible."
The Bible was written by over 40 authors over a period of 1500 years.
The world's largest church is located in Yamoussoukro, which is the capital of Cote d'Ivoire, Africa.
In New Mexico, over eleven thousand people have visited a tortilla chip that appeared to have the face of Jesus Christ burned into it. < My favorite
Other facts one should know :
Barbie's boyfriend Ken was not sold in India until recently because it clashed with the traditional arranged marriage.
The spray WD-40 got its name because there were forty attempts needed before the creation of the "water displacing" substance.
When telephone companies first began hiring telephone operators, they chose teenage boys for the job. They switched to women because the teenage boys were wrestling instead of working and pulling pranks on callers.
During the female orgasm, endorphines are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex.
There is a town called Intercourse, Pennsylvania, USA
And for the loose facts not yet confirmed by any source :
Little Adolf swore a grusome revenge after getting a good spanking from his jewish nanny !

Now I don't remember who originally posted this but it's not true. North America and South America are both continents that clearly do not start and end with the same letter.

Peter Karpin, a German espionage agent in WW1 was seized by French Intelligence agents in 1914 as soon as he entered the country. Keeping his capture a secret, the French sent faked reports from Karpin to Germany and intercepted the agent's wages and expense money until Karpin escaped in 1917. With those funds, the French purchased a car, which, in the occupied Ruhr, accidentally ran down and killed a man, who later proved to be Peter Karpin.
Techniqually thats what the death records say. However, back then people really didn't know their birthdates, so it was common practice to record their birthdate when they died as the same day. So yeah... just going to leave it at that.Simon wrote:

I think that was the line, its been a while.
EDIT: Might as well throw a useless fact in there, how about this one:
More moose walk away from car accidents than people.
Not sure if it's true but if it is I beat the odds, wouldn't recommend hitting a moose with your car though, might as well buy a new one after that.

a golf ball has 360 dimples on it (i think so anyways)
i believe that AC DC (the band) stands for Alternating Current and Direct Current, THATS WHAT THE LIGHTNING BOLT in between the AC and the DC is for! it doesnt stand for after christ devil comes, and stuff like that
iceman785: yes that is about right although it can vary greatly between golf balls. Some have over 400 I hear (never counted) and I know driving range ones have around 270 (at least the ones at the local course do).
ThrashingFury: Hitting a Moose with a car is very bad. Seen that happen, luckily it was kind of a swiping hit so the moose landed on the passenger side so the driver walked away scared shitless and he was the only one in the car so it was all good. Except the moose was dead (broken legs and back). I've also seen a Semi-Truck hit one, it was a tie.
Ask your Girlfriend what she really thinks about porn, you maybe suprised.
